Drowning Shadows

"'Best not to sail at night, else ye' be met with yer' own Shadow...' -A phrase taken from The Sailors' Guidebook to Elenia" Drowning Shadows are rare, amoebic creatures that inhabit the Oceans of Elenia. Being created from an ancient experiment done by O.R.M. scientists, they were originally used to pollute water supplies of cities that aligned themselves with the Order of Solrie. They were effective killers, wiping out entire towns once they got into the watering holes and sewer systems. However, once the Great War ended, and the landmass of Elenia was split into the archipelago it now is, the Shadows broke free, and became a menace across the seas. They are nocturnal in nature, and gather their energy from the moonlight, reproducing from their victims' flesh and blood. Sailors now fear their name, dubbing them Drowning Shadows, in reference to how they kill their prey.
