Shades may be assigned as a [[Slayer]] task by [[Vannaka]]. In addition to 'Shades' themselves, [[Loar Shade]]s, [[Phrin Shade]]s, [[Riyl Shade]], [[Asyn shade]]s, and [[Fiyr Shade]]s, which can be found in [[Mort'ton]] or the nearby [[Shade Catacombs]] can also be slain to fulfil the task. To access the shade catacombs, players must have completed the [[Shades of Mort'ton]] quest.

As these other shades give regular combat and slayer experience, they are recommended for completing slayer tasks. Note: To access the shade catacombs, players must have completed the [[Shades of Mort'ton]] quest.
Additional damage can be done to shades through the use of [[Salve amulet (e)|Salve amulets]] or the [[Gadderhammer]] weapon.

When a player buried [[bones]], they had a possibility of angering an aggressive '''Shade''' appearing and attacking them. Shades were transparent in appearance and looked somewhat like a [[ghosts|ghost]]. As with similar guardian random events, the combat level of a shade varied according to the combat level of the player unfortunate enough to run into one. When slain, the shade usually dropped nothing, but sometimes it would drop an assortment of bones, and on rare occasions, [[Shade Robes|shade robes]]. Originally, shades were able to close or open a door without standing beside it, which was unique among all [[Free-to-play|free]] monsters, but this feature was removed.
