Shadow

CR 1/2

SRD 5.2.1

A living patch of darkness that peels off the wall. Its swipe deals necrotic damage and saps 1d4 Strength that only a long rest brings back; a creature whose Strength reaches 0 dies. It hides as a bonus action out of bright light, shrugs off most elements, and radiant light burns it double.
