Incorporeal (ex) - An incorporeal creature can enter or pass through solid objects. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location. Incorporeal creatures pass through and operate in water as easily as they do in air. An incorporeal creature cannot pass through a force effect. An incorporeal creature moves silently and cannot be heard with Perception checks if it doesn't wish to be. Nonvisual senses, such as scent and blindsight, are ineffective against it.
Create Spawn (su) - Any humanoid creature that is slain by a Greater Shadow becomes a Greater Shadow itself in only 1d4 rounds. Spawn so created are less powerful than typical Greater Shadows, and suffer a -2 penalty on all d20 rolls and checks, as well as -2 hp per HD. Spawn are under the command of the Greater Shadow that created them and remain enslaved until its death, at which point they lose their spawn penalties and become full-fledged and free-willed Greater Shadows. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
Withering (su) - A creature dies if the ability damage it takes from a Greater Shadow equals its ability score.

This shadowy figure sways and moves with an erratic grace, as if lit by an unseen fire.
