Under the full moon's light, this ancient shadow-dweller inhabits human silhouettes to drain their vital warmth, revealing its presence only through the victim's involuntary shivering and the eerie laughter that echoes from their own shadow. In its VMAX manifestation, this spectral entity has grown so powerful that it no longer merely mimics shadows but commands them entirely, wielding the accumulated life force of countless victims.
