Homebrew Shadows Species Details
Shadows are souls of creatures that have died in battle , a literal manifestation of their souls. They may be of more than race or creature , although their appearance is always of a humanoid. Shadows don't have a voice and can only communicate telepathically or via body movements. Shadows are a very rare race and usually appear over bodies of the dead . Wondering around the world as though they were life-less . That is not the case though , some have goals and almost all of them have a consciousness . They are mostly mistaken as monsters that seek for vengeance but the most common reason they still wonder is for the search of someone strong enough . The search ends when they find someone who they think is worth helping , may it be a goal they have in common or the respect for each other.
