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.

Trypophobes are shadowed, who irrationally feared tiny holes in life. When faced with the Anax or one of his minions, the victim was forced to watch themselves stabbed with needles or become covered in countless holes, until their minds broke and they exchanged their souls for peace. Like all shadowed, they have sharp, glowing claws and swarm with black ink-like shadows on their bodies. However, trypophobes have the ability to force needles of unholy shadow from the thousands of tiny holes covering their bodies. They can use it as a defense mechanism, like a porcupine, or use it as an attack by firing them outward. Once they make contact with a human soul, they force their way through it, filling the soul with holes and evil, and turning the victim into a trypophobe as well.
