Description
The Hungering Shadows was once a Demon of little capability, but after long long years it developed a taste for mortal souls. Seeking to quench it's own lust as well as steal those of magical ability from the clutches of Arch-devil's like Mephistopheles.
It prefers to target those with magical prowess with it's Shadow Poison and slowly consume their souls to fuel itself.
These abilities have caught the eye of both Archdevils and Demon Lord's alike, but most crucially Bane - The Strife Emperor is particularly interested in this Demon and seeks to use this creature for his own nefarious ends.
