War for the Overworld Guide

Shadow

In-game icon of the Shadow

An unseen Beast of pitch-blackness, which can stealth through the Underworld remaining invisible to the enemy until it attacks. Beasts don't work, collect pay or train in the Barracks, and only need a Beast Den and Slaughterpen to keep them happy. They also can't be rescued when they fall in battle.

Attracted through the Upgraded Beast Den.

Shadows make for powerful first strike units, and their other abilities make them ideal for dealing with lone enemies.
