we're all trash here

the shadow meme

As we all know, the Wasteyard is infected with shadow creatures!

To quote the setting info:

Flexible in size and shape, they're hazy and insubstantial as shadow, shifting through the forms and behavior of creatures—particularly monsters—from other worlds. Often, they take the silhouette of something characters fear, but it can be anything as long as the canon is represented in game. They may even transform before characters' eyes, difficult as it is to stare directly at them, but they never make a sound and emanate a chill so cold that they burn upon contact.

Sometimes they seem placid and still, or distracted entirely by some repetitive task. Sometimes they attack without warning. Their default is unpredictability. What sets them off is unknowable; it may be a sound, a smell, or perhaps just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Regardless, they have all the speed and strength of their form, although they lack powers or special abilities they can't physically mimic (e.g., they can't imitate electrical powers, but they can sprout extra appendages). They make up for it by being nigh impossible to destroy; even if they disintegrate, they can reform.

It's possible to hold off or distract them—and, sometimes, they might just lose interest—but they only truly obey boundaries. They'll never step foot indoors.
