Shadow is a Deep North creature in Valheim with 750 health. The numbers above are the ones the game never shows you: how fast it moves against your own speed, how much damage inside one window it takes to stagger it, whether smoke and fire do anything to it, and the spawn rule behind the biome — an interval, a chance and a cap per zone.

Shadow FAQ
How do you kill Shadow in Valheim?
No effect: Chop, Fire, Blunt, Frost, Slash, Pierce, Poison, Spirit, Pickaxe, Lightning, Non Player. Health is 750, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.
What does Shadow drop in Valheim?
It drops -. Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.
Where does Shadow spawn in Valheim?
In Deep North the game rolls for one every 300 seconds with a 10% chance, up to 5 alive in a zone at once. Valheim worlds are seed-generated, so there is no fixed location: the rule is what is fixed, not the place.
Can you outrun Shadow in Valheim?
Not by running. Shadow runs at 7 and so do you, so a straight line never opens a gap: you need terrain, water or a door rather than a sprint.
Can Shadow be staggered?
Yes. Landing 40% of its maximum health inside one window staggers it, which is the opening a parry is for — parry damage counts towards that figure, so the two combine.
