Mina and Felicity encounter the Smiling Shadow (Patreon)

The Smiling Shadow

This type of monster uses the shadows to hide its numbers and ambush its victims making it a very dangerous threat for travelers in small numbers.

But it's quite obvious where you could encounter them as they usually are behind magical sealed doors deep inside Hidden Temples, Shrines, or Forbidden Underworlds where incredible treasure can be found in these dark places, although many say it is not worth the risk.

The bright side is that they cannot escape the perimeter that surrounds the area as they do not possess any magic to break the barrier, and thus the best way to escape this monster is to run to the exit as fast as possible.
