Umbra

A slime-like residue that coats the Otherworldly electrical room of the school. It attacks by engulfing people, and psychically assaulting them with images of fear and despair. It has no discernible core, making defeating it difficult. It differs from other shadows, appearing to have been deliberately reconfigures somehow. The remains of one of Waclaw's creations.

No elemental weakness could be discerned. It was never actually beaten by the party, who fled the room and locked it inside. They have not yet returned to finish it, if it is even still there.

Penumbra

A creature resembling a hollow egg-sac, which contained Umbra within it. It was found in the electrical room. A pitiful creature that does not attack, it tried to flee the room into the hall. It is extremely resistant to physical damage. It did not have a visible mask. The remains of one of Waclaw's creations.

Ungeziefer

A enormously powerful and deceptively fast mechanical monstrosity, based on a darkness-boiler above a furnace.
