Shadow nihil

The Shadow nihil is fought during the Fate of the Gods quest alongside the smoke nihil, the ice nihil and the blood nihil.

The shadow nihil is a member of the nihil race, created by Zaros during his testing of genetic manipulation. By its examine, the shadow nihil was likely created by weaving the essence of a demon.

The shadow nihil, like the other nihil in the arena, will run across the halls and into holes in the wall, causing damage to any players that stand in its way. It will always run north, and will continue to do this, appearing from a different hole each time, until the player attacks it and draws its attention, at which point it will solely focus on using ranged attacks. The shadow nihil has a very high defence, so players are recommended to bring weapons that are at least level 70. Like the other nihils, the shadow nihil has a special attack, which will give a "hiss" warning before its use. When activated, the spot that the player is standing on will deal 500 damage every tick, in a similar fashion to Nex during her shadow phase. This attack does not follow the player, so it can be avoided by simply moving away from the spot when the nihil hisses.

After the quest, the nihils may be fought for their drops. They will be aggressive unless the Shard of Zaros is equipped.
