The Shadguard is one of the many subspecies of Broodguard that dwell in the Emberlight Depths. They have scales of a dark grey or black hue, and typically have purple or yellow stripes going down their arms and legs. Their most notable feature is their tail, which is rather long, and can easily be used to bind prey or as a whip.

Unlike other Broodguard subspecies, they not only refrain from hunting in packs, but are always dominant, refusing to submit except in extreme circumstances. When hunting for men they will chase after and try and fight them at every opportunity. Should they fail to win a fight, they will flee and try again another time after training themselves.

When they finally obtain a husband, they will take him back to their lair and begin training him to act as a servant to them, rewarding him with the chance to mate with her, and "punishing" him by using their tail or claws to milk out his spirit energy. Despite having their husband serve them, Shadguard's are surprisingly affectionate once he submits, making sure that he has everything he wants and needs and going out of their way to make him as comfortable as possible while he serves.
