[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 3469735, member: 21215"] I guess that's where I'm coming from. When I saw them, I knew exactly what faction would be willing to use them, how to integrate them in the world, and started identifying how I would have to interpret their immunity in the SR goofiness that is 3rd edition. Oooh, floating tentacles...always a good choice. But the implication in Sagiro's Story Hour, IF you intend to use a similar creation schema, is that the enemy are actually corrupting living people INTO Null Shadows, which is why they retain a humanoid shape, but are aberrant in their nature (no real individualized features, no recognizable internal anatomy, etc). Walking Bags of Mostly Evil, to paraphrase a Star Trek The Next Generation line. In that way, I see them at least as aberrant as any Aboleth genetic experiment slave while retaining the joy of thumbs. Though I could be convinced that they are Monstrous Humanoids, but that just doesn't seem "wrong" enough (if you will) to describe them. :) [/QUOTE]
