The Shade is an evil creature of deception and trickery. Made of a, weightless, inconsistent substance between a liquid and a gas that can take on the appearance of anything. The Shade is able to maintain this disguise perfectly, including intelligent conversation and detailed voice and intonation provided the Shade can anticipate what is going to happen. If something unexpected happens (a sneeze, tripping, a punch to the face) then it's body shimmers with its normal silvery-grey coloration and then takes a few moments to return to its disguise. It can change its disguise at will with only a few seconds as the shape changes. It prefers to flee or negotiate rather than fight. But it can easily disguise itself as a weapon wielding humanoid or a ferocious animal. It can shrink to make a smaller disguise, but not grow to something larger than itself. The Shade can make any part of its disguise completely solid, but only in anticipation, useful for weapon strikes, but no use in receiving blows. Instinct: To remain in disguise.
