| A skulking apparition that disguises itself as a harmless shadow. Attuned to the dim light of the dungeon, it can slip in and out of sight at will, moving swiftly from one pool of shade to the next before striking unerringly at the blind spots of those who cannot see it.

Useful Info
Shadowghasts are undead creatures which can briefly become invisible. They can be found in the middle floors of the Dungeon
When a shadowghast is invisible and not backlit, it gains a boost to movement speed (14.2 speed). Also, if the target cannot see invisible, an invisible shadowghast deals 2.5x damage, never misses, and reveals itself.

Tips & Tricks
- Shadowghasts are fast-moving enemies that can deal extreme amounts of damage (35 dmg/hit), who also go invisible. Very strong for the places they apppear in.
- Being able to negate their invisibility is an obvious benefit. If you don't have see invisible already, pop on a ring of see invisible (if you have one).
- Note that shadowghasts are immune to Sticky Flame (they are insubstantial) and aren't revealed from shallow water (they fly).
History
- Prior to 0.32, shadowghasts were called shadows. This was changed to differentiate from the shadow created by Dithmenos.
- Prior to 0.19, players would summon neutral shadows when wielding a lantern of shadows.
- Prior to 0.13, shadows were unable to go invisible, and damaged your strength when they attacked.
