The subject of this page has been affected by a recent Game update and the way it functions in-game has changed.
A type of Spirit that takes on the form of a deceased person or animal. They are normally completely invisible, and can only be seen in a few ways:
When moving near them, audible voices can be heard, and sometimes text dialogue will appear. Even though they are both considered Spirits, Shades and Ghosts are two separate forms with different behaviors. Ghosts are aware that they are dead, and currently do not pose an immediate threat to the living. They are considerably more conversational than Shades, and have been known to deliver lengthy stories about world events and their own lives.
