Full Record
Shadow Fiends are massive demonic entities standing twelve feet tall with curving horns, bat-like wings, barbed chains wrapped around their limbs, and heavy spiked tails. They are summoned by Shadowborn hunters and lords — beings of living shadow — to serve as shock troops and terror weapons.
During the Shadowborn Hunt in Arkest, Shadow Fiends were unleashed upon the city alongside Jerlan (a Shadowborn hunter wielding chains of living shadow) and Black Moon (a Shadowborn lord with the Eclipse blade). The creatures caused significant destruction before the Grim Shadows arrived to engage them in the Stone Garden.
