shadow demon
Malevolent shade creature
A shadow demon is a malevolent supernatural entity associated with darkness, appearing in folklore, fantasy fiction, and video games as a creature that lurks in or emerges from shadows.
Shadow demons typically lack solid physical form, moving through darkness and feeding on fear or negative emotions: The shadow demon materialized in the corner of the room.
In religious contexts, the term sometimes describes evil spirits believed to torment people during sleep paralysis or in moments of spiritual vulnerability.
