SHADOW WARRIORS
PHYSIOLOGY
They have the same light distortion/phasing
ability that the Shadows have.
In material form, they stand at a towering 5-6 meters. Their diet consists
of the internal organs of sentient beings. They appear to be able to
control their metabolism and go for decades with little or no food. They
are basically intelligent and patient. They are not invincible. If they
can be tricked to become partially visible, they can be destroyed
by multiple heavy PPG blasts at point blank.
PSI ABILITY
When a Shadow Warrior consumes a part
of a sentient, a psychic link is formed with that individual.
HISTORY
It is also known as a "Soldier
of Darkness." This group of Shadow allies is known to have participated
in the Shadow Uprising one-thousand years ago. The Markab and
the Narn have
records of these creatures.
GOVERNMENT
This being is a lower-level Shadow servant.
TECHNOLOGY
As allies of the Shadows, they have
access to Ultratech-level
artifacts, if their masters deem it necessary.
Lurking Inside Me
"We were an intelligence gathering unit, not set up for heavy combat. We'd heard the Minbari were setting up a command-and-control post, so we slipped onto a small moon before they finished the perimiter scans. We set up camp in old ruins of some kind. As far as we knew, it was a dead world.
It came in the night during a storm. We heard nothing, saw nothing. It came right through the walls - like a hot wind. First man died, just meters from me. Never even screamed. We ran. We ran. For a second I thought I lost it. Then I saw it. It was standing in the middle of a ball of lightning. It looked like it had come straight from hell.
It kept me alive, as a snack. It becomes a part of you. Feeding on you. The lucky ones were the men who died on that moon. What it took from me I can never get back. When the rescue team showed up, I weighed 85 pounds... A part of me is still inside that thing. I can feel it..." - Amis, Minbari War verteran
One such "monster" was brought on board Babylon 5 by an ancient scout vessel. It had reprogrammed the ship to head for Z'ha'dum.
