In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the shadow is an undead creature. A shadow is an incorporeal creature of sentient darkness. Its touch saps the strength of living creatures, and if the living creatures are afflicted for long enough, they can look forward to turn into a shadow themselves.
A shadow is always chaotic evil. They can be found anywhere, and appear as patches of mobile gloom with a more or less humanoid shape.
