SHADOW THE FAMILIAR
Shadow is no ordinary stray. As Kadavra’s wicked feline familiar and the Crypt’s resident cynic, this demonic black cat has a razor-sharp wit and a terrible habit of wandering off. When he isn't offering his sarcastic commentary from the comfort of the Crypt's subterranean basement, his favorite pastime is slipping through the Fourth Wall to hide within the terrifying tales themselves. Keep a close eye on the shadows—he is always watching.
SHADOW
“Allow me to introduce my familiar, Shadow. He is a creature of ancient darkness, my personal confidant, and an absolute menace to the Crypt's upholstery. While he enjoys lounging by my throne and offering his wicked little opinions on the macabre stories we tell, his true passion is sneaking into the timelines and hiding inside the nightmares themselves. If you happen to spot his glowing green eyes while you watch... do let me know so I can drag him back to the basement.” — Kadavra
