The Shadowed are a faction of the Outer Darkness, a dimension rife with unholy, dark aberrations. The Anax leads these creatures after he takes away their free will, minds, and souls. They are mostly found in the vibratory dimension of the Outer Darkness known as the Shadowlands, the lowest frequency of existence itself. In most cases, the victims (either corporeal or incorporeal) become twisted, evil versions of their old selves, retaining whatever knowledge they once held. However, in cases of phobia, the afflicted become mockeries of their intense fears. Thus, turning their fears into a strength and perverse joy.

Automatonophobes are shadowed, who irrationally feared statues and mannequins in life. When faced with the Anax or one of his minions, the victim was forced to watch themselves petrify and harden, forever frozen and silent, until their minds broke and they exchanged their souls for peace. Unlike other shadowed, these minions have no claws and make much more powerful defensive units due to their rock hard skin. They grab their prey and the same rocky surfaces that cover them forms wherever they touch the victim until those hapless souls become a shadowed automatonophobe as well!
