Information
Name	Shadowpaw (singular) Shadowpaws (plural)
Type	Moon Primal
Home	Xadia

Shadowpaws are a species of mammalian magical creatures that are connected to the Moon Primal.

Appearance

Shadowpaws are black, gray, and blue-furred feline creatures that are as large as a Leaflynx and sport a pair of horns with swirling patterns. Their feet seem to lack fur, while the rest of their bodies are covered in a thick, bushy pelt with a prominent mane around the neck. Their eyes have been shown to have black scleras with blue irises. Instead of paws, they have bird-like feet with talons.

Concept

Information

Native to the Moonshadow Forest, the protective Shadowpaw and the prideful Moonstrider have lived peacefully alongside the Moonshadow Elves for generations. Over the years, some have been tamed and domesticated for use as mounts, hunting partners, and often simple companionship. They can be found living inside the Silvergrove.

Despite enormous physical strength and ferocity under duress, the Shadowpaw was the first creature companion to the Moonshadow Elves. The Shadowpaw's protective, familial nature proved a natural match to the elves' reclusive, intimate lifestyles.

Adult Shadowpaws can be protective of their den and offspring. Even Moonshadow Elf children know to keep their distance.

Shadowpaw fur can be used to create Abyssal Incenses.
