(Work In Progress)

Shadow Beasts are fast moving, predatory entities which inhabit several levels of the Backrooms. These entities are named after the strange, black material they are made of, which seems to absorb all light and "meld into the shadows" when emerging and disappearing through holes in the ceiling.

Description

Shadow beasts are said to measure approximately 7 ft in height and 8 ft in length, though their exact size remains unknown as they are too fast to be observed closely. These entities will always emerge suddenly from the ceilings of indoor levels, and proceed to chase down Wanderers in an attempt to trample them to death.

When hunting, shadow beasts are able to reach speeds of up to 50 mph, though it is only able to reach these speeds in levels with long enough hallways. Shadow Beasts can also use their momentum to knock over obstacles and break down walls, or instantly crush their target. After a successful hunt, shadow beasts will drag the victim through the hole from which they emerged and disappear from view. To date, no Wanderer has dared explore these holes in the ceiling.
