SPECIAL ABILITIES:

Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): In any area darker than bright illumination, an umbral spy can use the Stealth skill even when being observed.

Shadow Bond (Su): As a standard action, the umbral spy can attempt to bind with the shadow of a Small size or larger corporeal creature. In order to do so, the creature must be within an area of normal or bright light and the umbra spy must in the adjacent square to the creature, opposite from the source of light. The targeted creature then makes a Will save, DC 14. If the creature fails, the umbral spy is now bound to the creature's shadow. It is no longer considered a separate creature. It follows the target creature wherever it goes, senses anything target creature senses, and understands anything said within earshot, provided that the umbral spy, not the targeted creature, knows the language. This saving throw DC is Charisma based and includes the Ability Focus feat. The target creature never realizes it has been targeted, even if it makes its saving throw

The target creature gets a new saving throw every 24 hours to make the umbral spy leave his shadow, although the umbral spy can leave on its own as a free action, materializing in an adjacent square, opposite of a light source. While an umbral spy is attached to a creature's shadow, it cannot be detected without a thorough examination via True Seeing or a similar effect. Since True Seeing does not see through clothing, the umbral spy is often safely hidden from a casual examination with True Seeing.

An umbral spy cannot attack, be attacked or otherwise be targeted separately from the targeted creature in a physical manner while bonded. The umbral spy is considered incoporeal and in the same square as the targeted creature.

Thought Link (Su): An umbral spy can trasmit any of its memories telepathically to any creature that has an Intelligence of 3 or more within 10 feet that has the bone left over from its creation. It cannot use this ability while bonded with its Shadow Bond ability.
