Companion Of Darkness -ch. 9- By Berkili4 〈RECENT〉

Let me start building it step by step. Name: Companion of Darkness (Homebrew). Size: Medium. Type: Shadow (Monstrosity). Alignment: Neutral Evil. AC: 14 (natural armor). HP: Let's say 65 (10d8 + 30). Speed: 30 ft., and maybe climb 20 ft. if it's a shadow creature.

Since it's a Companion of Darkness, maybe it's a summoned or shadow creature. Perhaps it's a familiar or a beast type. The name suggests a dark theme, so maybe it's a Shadow or a Monstrosity. Alignment could be neutral evil or lawful evil if it's a companion for a villain. Companion of Darkness -Ch. 9- By Berkili4
