Shadovig

Shadovigs were minute fey that were thought to have been corrupted by the Shadow Weave.

Description
Shadovigs resembled wingless, pixies. They had grey skin, clawed fingers, and veiled eyes. They typically wore black leather armor that appeared to be made entirely from belts and straps.

Abilities
Shadovigs were more dangerous in darkness than in light. All spoke the Common and Sylvan languages, and some learned Loross as well. Naturally, they had darkvision.

Shadovigs had a few spell-like abilities, being able to replicate the effects of the spells invisibility and mirror image three times each day.

Shadovigs were good melee fighters, having poisonous claws. They were fond of sneak attacks when their opponents were caught off-guard. Additionally, they themselves were difficult to catch flat-footed, being able to react to attacks faster than their senses alone permitted.

However, shadovigs were more powerful and dangerous in the shadows. While in darkness, they were faster, harder to hit with attacks, more perceptive, more stealthy, and just generally more competent.

Combat
Shadovigs preferred to avoid direct combat, instead attacking from the shadows.

Society
Shadovigs were wicked creatures, said to have been sprites that were corrupted by the power of the Shadow Weave, possibly with the assistance of Mask or Shar. They were known to work as thieves, assassins, and spies, either as servants for others or masters themselves. Some shadovigs acted as familiars to shade arcanists.
