Shadowgarm
(extraplanar)
Shadowgarms are strange aberrations native to the Netherworld, where they exist as low-level predators.1 Shadowgarms are covered in shadowy slime that paralyzes the foes it strikes and conceals them even in dim shadows. However, the creatures are staggered when in areas of bright magical light.1
Appearance
A shadowgarm's body is composed of spongy dark matter and wisps of shadow, and some grow much larger than the 90 pounds of a typical adult. Its body is fluid and amorphous. They fight with three-clawed tentacles and scurry on a number of feelers or tentacles that can range from two or three one moment, to dozens the next.1
Habitat and ecology
Shadowgarms consume organic material by resting on it and allowing the shadowy material of their bodies to dissolve and subsume it. Every several months, according to a seemingly random pattern, hermaphroditic shadowgarms congregate to breed. The creatures are highly territorial outside of the mating season.1
Native to the Netherworld, the creatures enter the Universe at places where the Netherworld is strong, and lair in sewers and alleyways where there are many shadows. When slain, they melt away to shadows and fog without evidence of a corpse.1
