So I had no idea where to post this so I don't know if it's the right place.

My game will include summoning of creatures called Shadow Beasts. That's the name people call them in the game, but in reality nobody knows what they really are or where they come from. They started appearing out of nowhere during a war and everybody freaked out. That is until some inhabitants of this world realized they could communicate with them and control them to an extent. The Shadow Beasts still have freewill, but for some reason chose to obey the humans they can talk with. The human that can talk with them are called Guardians and each Gardian can only summon and control one Shadow Beast.

Now I could go in depth about what those creatures truly are, but since it would be massive spoiler...I won't, lol. Anyway, I need at least 4 of them. 3 for 3 of my main characters, and one for an antagonist. The way they look is related to the characters backstory. I wanted some feedback on their design and abilities... and names....I'm really bad at names. I only have one Shadow Beast completed so far, but I'll add the other ones to this thread once they are completed.

How Shadow Beasts work:
They can only be summoned once per battle, they can only stay summoned for a limited amount of turn (still need to be determined), multiple Shadow Beasts can be summoned at the same time if there is more than one Gardian in the party, all Shadow Beast are weak to Iron weapons.


This is the Shadow Beats of the main character. Since the main character's back story involve some tragic event regarding deer hunting I choose that look for him. I wanted Sahdzyn to look intimidating, so I went the Wendigo route for the design. Without to color it's hard to tell, but his body is made of a mixte of gooey black substance and black fog. For his name I mixed the names Sadhbh and Oisin (from Irish mythology) together and change the typo a little bit.
Passive ability: Grant an attack and speed bonus to all party members but lower their defense for as long as he remain summoned.
Skills: Mostly a damage dealer, with abilities that cause Bleed and/or Fear (I still have to make the skills). Is Immune to Fear and Confusion.
Personality: Cunning, sweet talker despite his agressive look, is obsessed with making his gardian stronger.

It's name comes from Ailuros which is the greek name for the Goddess Bastet. For story purpose this one needed to be cute, look like a pet kids would like, but style fit with the style of the other Shadow Beasts. Haylu is the Shadow Beast of one of the main character, a swordsman. (I still need to find a good name for that character...)
Passive ability: Heal all bad status effect of the whole party when summoned. The whole party get immune to debuffs as long as Haylu is in battle. Haylu always attacks first each turn.
Skills: Mostly a healer and a buffer, as only one attack special skill. ( Not too sure about it's skills to be honest. Haylu may have too much skills similar with the third shadow beast I haven't posted yet. I'll need to think about it more.)
Personality: Naive, childlike, mischievous, is obsessed with making it's Gardian Happy.

That's it for now, like I said I'll add the others when they are done. Don't be afraid to be honest I can take it. If you have questions just ask.
