Shadow Fiend
Quite actually a curious creature found outside of creation in the depths of Oblivion, Shadow Fiends are shadowy nightmares who will share knowledge with anyone willing to barter secrets with them. Nightmarish in the extreme most mature Shadow Fiends learn how to possess and eventually mimic humans. Since they can only learn thru the painful and meticulous consumption of their teacher, they are thankfully slow to learn and mature.
