The Creatures of the Shadowlands come in a variety of twisted and evil monsters, animals, and even vegetation that roam the Shadowlands. They carry disease, provoke death, pain, or inflict taint on their victims. Some are simply nameless beasts, but others are powerful or organized enough to have names.

Unnamed Creatures[]

The Shadowlands are populated with numerous horrors created by the Festering Pit of Fu Leng, and it is hardly possible to list and classify all the existing creatures there. Some descriptions are given below of different creatures that were never named or classified.

Shadowlands Serpentine Creature[]

This creature would normally hide in rotten tree trunks, and dwelt in dark and humid confines. It looked like a serpentine creature made of black silk, undulating swiftly. When in contact with living flesh, they would leave long strip-like welts of decaying flesh. The wound, if not treated, would leave the member to fester quickly and could even result in the loss of a limb or eventual death from gangrene, if not attended.[1]

Shadowlands water creatures[]

In the River of the Last Stand, some strange shapes could be seen wriggling under the surface of the water.[2]

In the Sea of Amaterasu, sailors have told tales of frighteningly huge creatures swimming right under the water's surface.[2]
