[edit] Notes

• Interestingly, although this creature is a denizen of the lower planes, it is categorized as a member of the undead in Neverwinter Nights, not as an outsider, most probably due to its resemblance to the undead shadow.
• The standard shadow fiend should not be confused with the variant summoned by, e.g., a shadowdancer, which is marginally more powerful.
