A Shadowen is a being of pure dark magic given life. No one knows where these beings came from only that their one goal is to destroy everyone/thing. It usually assumes the form of the beast it is inhabiting but can take a beat-like form as a free-action.
Rumor has it that the elves themselves created these abominations in their attempts tp regain their control over magic, creating harmless servants out of the weave who, in turn attempted to create, but unknowingly brought about a parasitic race which feeds off of the magic of those it controls as well as the magic around them in order to strengthen themselves.
A Shadowen will prefer to possess a sorcerer, warlock, or any other who is naturally endowed with arcane power, if it can find one, quickly trying to subdue the target before leaving it's old host to possess the caster. Creating a Shadowen
Aquired Template:Any humanoid except Orcs,Goblins, and Gnomes. The shadowen have little patience for the brutish orcs or the weak gnomes and goblins. Most Shadowen take control of an elf,human,or drawf.
