Shadow

Description
Perhaps the most dangerous of Zombies, these are the direct result of high powered Dark magic on the already dead. These creatures are the most intelligent and blood thirsty zombies around, and with a speed only beaten zombie-wise by the Undine, they can be a tough foe for any adventurer. Luckily, because of how they are made, they are also the most rare of zombies.
Their main form of attack is surprise and fear, using minor psychic powers to project false realities into the victims minds, portraying their death. They also have one big defence, mainly when a body part is destroyed, the limb can still attack, a shadow replacing the limb (for example, if a arm is sliced off, shadows will form from the wound on the body into the shape of the arm).

Combat Strategy
The key to their defeat is to remove each limb, as Shadows cannot make a full body with the shadows they control, and as such if there are no original body parts, the dark element that encompasses them will simply dissipate. A strong mind is also needed to keep their mind altering powers neutralized. Light elemental spells and weapons will also neutralize the shadows they manipulate.
