Shadow Demons are horrific monstrosities that rule the darkness. They source their power from dark areas on station with the sole directive of using their special abilities to murder crew members. However, these demons are highly vulnerable to light, if they spend too much time out of darkness they will very quickly die.

Playing Shadow Demon

Shadow Demons spawn in during the Shadow Demon major Midround event. "Demon" needs to be enabled in Game Preferences in order to get a chance to play the Shadow Demon.

Your New Sleep Paralysis Demon

Shadow Demons are frail but lethal ambush predators, striking quickly from the darkness to drag away lone crewmembers. Shadow Demons do considerable damage with each strike, and deactivate or destroy whatever light producing objects their target has on them, and can use Shadow Crawl to quickly reposition after a kill or during a chase.

Light is its worst enemy, however, and leaving the darkness for only a few seconds is fatal. Being in Shadow Crawl will halve the damage dealt by light. Darkness, on the other hand, will rapidly heal the Shadow Demon, so fighting on dark turf is preferable.
