Shade
From NEStalgia
An end-game level boss wandering the entire world with the exception of Ennar. It mimics one of six bosses found elsewhere in the game: Rehgor, Procrastor, Phoenix, Cyclops, Midgard, and the Crypt Knight. All six forms are storm element, meaning spells like Shock and Sizzle will not be very effective. The Shade is on a spawn timer: one hour after being killed, or five minutes after a party attacks it and looses.
All six forms are much more difficult than the boss they are based off of, with extra or different spells/skills available for use along with increased stats.

Shade Etiquette
- Don't engage the Shade unless you can actually defeat it (typically a group of three level 30+ characters).
- If you aren't engaging the Shade, it's helpful to call out its location in world say (i.e., "Shade near Bedoe.").
- If you engage and kill the Shade, call out when you killed it in world say (i.e., "Shade down at XX:05"). This means that the Shade was killed at five after the hour. The reason for using "XX" is to account for players who are in a different time zone. After all, 7:05 PM in the western United States is wholly different than, say, 7:05 PM in eastern Spain. This practice allows other players to know when they can start searching for the Shade in parties of their own.
