Shadow Stalker

Adversaries Designed by Adi Izz

Adversary overview

A sinister spirit that relentlessly pursue its target.

A summoned creature with only one goal in mind; to pursue and end the life of its target set by its summoner. Masters of shadows, it revels in dark, tight places and would prove to be a worthy foe in dark corridors, tight sewers and even an open field on a moonless night.
