 Shadow beast, screenshot in-game | |
| Only appearance: | Ultima Underworld |
The shadow beast has a transparent, featureless humanoid form with glowing, yellow eyes much like those of a dire ghost.
Description[edit]
In combat this creature lashes out with its powerful claws. Despite its description below, this creature is not totally invisible; it becomes so briefly during the combat, reappearing at a slightly different position, making it a challenging target. The Avatar encountered only three of them in the first Ultima Underworld. Shadow beasts have not been seen since the eruption of the Abyss.
Lore[edit]
| “ | There is little we can say about this entity, or family of entities — we obviously cannot see that which is invisible, so we do not know how many there are. The Shadow Beast is thought to be immensely powerful, more than a match for any single warrior. When attacked by unseen adversary, first look up (for a flying attacker) and down (lest a small worm or other foe is striking) — if none of these be the case, then suspect the Shadow Beast and begin to strike in all directions! |
