They are the shadow kin. Great and mysterious beings of the dark realm. Once messengers to the inquisitor, the shadow kin rebelled and fought to free themselves from bondage. They are evil in nature due to the mistrust they hold for all living things. In battle they can form behind their victim grabbing hold while slipping into the void only to reappear high in the sky dropping their victim to their doom. They have also been known to grab hold of prey, slip into the void and place a victim in trees, rocks, or mountain sides as they are fond of watching a slow and torturous death.. Beware these creatures, for they bode ill omen..
