Shadowkeeper

Shadowkeepers are a race of shadow-like beings that are currently found only on islands on the northern shore of Willick.

Appearance and Behavior
No two shadowkeepers look too similar, though they share many features such as: having five solid colored eyes, a dark body, black teeth, and oftentimes many arms, and frilled ears. Because of their ability to change their shape to varying degrees, many have more limbs and knots in their body than they were born with.

Their community is spread apart but they make the effort to interact with everyone when they can. They're like a small town community of old people where they rarely leave the house and news spreads fast.

Shadowkeepers are driven to collect hoards of items because they feel more comfortable with tangible objects they can always return to.

Abilities
Anything to do with shadows, shadowkeepers have a part of. They can stick themselves to walls, hide in shadows, and change their body mass distribution to give themselves more arms, legs, and other limbs.

Some individuals are able to sense the value of objects important to what they are interested in and learn magic. These shadowkeepers are the most likely to succeed in their hoards.

Naturally, shadowkeepers are incredibly weak to light. Electricity, sunlight, and fire will kill them with little to no troubles at all if there is not a shadow around for them to get into. Glowing moss, moonlight, and dim gentle lighting does not affect them.

Their recorded lifespan in 80-90 years.

History
A long time ago, shadowkeepers were thought to be the guardians and protectors of the night and all the shadows it brings. Because of that, they were given the name of shadowkeeper, though nowadays it's well known that they dwell in shadows, but do not protect them.

They are currently starting to dwindle in numbers. Most still reside on the islands but they have dispersed over the years across the continent.
