Original life forms: Octopus, Gorilla, Eagle, Scorpion
Appearance: Shadowfang is a terrifying amalgamation of its four component species. It has a large, muscular gorilla-like body covered in jet-black fur, with four powerful arms ending in scorpion-like pincers. Its face is that of a fierce eagle, with sharp talons and a hooked beak, while its eight tentacles are the same dark color as its fur, and have razor-sharp suckers lining their undersides.
Behavior: Shadowfang is a solitary hunter, stalking its prey from the shadows before striking with lightning-fast speed. It is highly intelligent and cunning, using its keen senses and multiple limbs to outmaneuver its prey. Despite its terrifying appearance, Shadowfang is known to be quite patient, often waiting for hours for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Emotions: Shadowfang is an incredibly proud creature, viewing itself as the ultimate predator. It is fiercely territorial and will not hesitate to attack anything it perceives as a threat to its domain. However, it is also a cunning and calculating creature, and is not prone to irrational outbursts of anger.
Environment: Shadowfang can be found in a variety of environments, from dense forests to rocky crags. It prefers areas with plenty of cover and opportunities for ambush, but is also able to move quickly and efficiently over open terrain.
Gear: Shadowfang has a set of armor made from the carapaces of its scorpion-like pincers, providing excellent protection against physical attacks. It also wears a leather harness that allows it to carry small tools or weapons, as well as a cloak made from the feathers of the eagles that share its habitat, allowing it to blend into its surroundings.
