Shadowfell Creatures

While the Feywild is a place where emotion takes shape and pixies and faeries run rampant, the Shadowfell stands as a dark mirror of repression. Without the expression of emotion an individual becomes less of a person, only living to a fraction of their potential. The Shadowfell further tampers with the emotions of mortals, causing them to not only be mentally damaged but physically scarred and contorted. The influence of this dark realm causes an individual to become a farce of life, living out the shame and lies that turned them into the creatures that lurk in the shadows.

The Inadequate

Desperately searching for acceptance and love, these creatures will go to any length to secure it. When they find an individual that they desire the attention of they will ardently clambor to that person unaware of the damage caused to them. If they believe that something else is drawing the attention of their beloved they will do anything in their power to remove the distraction.

The Exposed

Living their life in constant shame of a past misdeed, they wander the wastes trying to find a crevice to crawl into and hide. If they are disturbed from their rest they will lurk in the shadows and track the interlopers until they leave their home. If they are found then they will attempt to lash out at whatever saw them until they can hide again. They have no desire to hurt other individuals, but want to ensure they won't be found again.

The Inept

Graveyards and cursed stretches of roads are where the borders of the Shadowfell and the Prime Material wear thin. Those who have died from wounds that could have been treated become The Inept and crawl beneath the soil. When a creature suffers over this area, there is a chance that the pain in their soul will summon the tugging hands of The Inept to comfort and soothe their wounds with their cold callous hands.

The Replaced

Birthed of a betrayal by someone they trust, they become consumed with a desire to be accepted. Finding a group of friends and ambushing them, they assume the form of whoever they touch. Their hold causes their victim to become charmed and attack their friends, hoping to provoke the victim's death. Should the victim die while being imitated, The Replaced will assume their form, personality, and abilities. Living out the rest of their existence imitating the one they murdered.
