Shadow Demons are horrific monstrosities that rule the darkness. They source their power from dark areas on station with the sole directive of using their special abilities to murder crew members. However, these demons are highly vulnerable to light, if they spend too much time out of darkness they will very quickly die.
Playing Shadow Demon
Shadow Demons spawn in during the Shadow Demon major Midround event. "Demon" needs to be enabled in Game Preferences in order to get a chance to play the Shadow Demon.
Your New Sleep Paralysis Demon
Shadow Demons are frail but lethal ambush predators, striking quickly from the darkness to drag away lone crewmembers. Shadow Demons do considerable damage with each strike, and deactivate or destroy whatever light producing objects their target has on them, and can use Shadow Crawl to quickly reposition after a kill or during a chase.
Light is its worst enemy, however, and leaving the darkness for only a few seconds is fatal. Being in Shadow Crawl will halve the damage dealt by light. Darkness, on the other hand, will rapidly heal the Shadow Demon, so fighting on dark turf is preferable.

Fighting Shadow Demons
Fighting Shadow Demons might be tricky as they can phase into darkness instantly and flee. Remember that they are glass cannons. So they cant take too many hits.
Keeping to dark areas to hunt their prey. Having one or more light sources while hunting it is probably a good idea. Lone crew members in the dark are an easy snack for the Shadow Demon so never go alone.
Making traps with light sources is a good way to quickly finnish them off as they cant use Shadow Crawl to escape. Remember that the Shadow Demon is capable of dissabling lights with their Shadow Grapple and also grab crew.
When the Shadow Demons dies it will drop a Heart Of Darkness that, when used, will grant it's user the Shadow Grapple ability.
