**_Sunlight Weakness_**. While in sunlight, the shadow has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.

## Actions

**_Strength Drain_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

_Hit_: 9 (2d6 + 2) necrotic damage, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 1d4. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, a new shadow rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.
