About
Living Shadow is the summoned asset of Dark Knight. When summoned and in combat with a targeted enemy, Living Shadow will perform Abyssal Drain, Shadowstride, Shadowbringer (or Flood of Shadow when under level 90), Edge of Shadow, Bloodspiller, and Disesteem (or Carve and Spit when under level 100).
Technical aspects
Technical aspects
Living Shadow has several technical details that need to be considered when creating a replacement.
Living Shadow is classified as a terrestrial creature.
Living Shadow is not affected by /petsize commands.
Living Shadow has 1 to 1 scaling. Any creature placed on it will be their true size.
Living Shadow shares a skeleton, fascial skeleton, animations, VFX, SFX, and many other assets with midlanders. This will require special modding considerations and possible unique penumbra collections. This factor makes Living Shadow up there with Carbuncle and Chocobo in its complexity.
A creature replacement is broken down into two categories, Core Components and Ability Components.

When thinking about what kind of creature you want to use for a replacement, think about some details about the creature.
If it's a terrestrial creatures, does it have a movement animation? Some terrestrial creatures, like Menphina with Dalamud, are stationary and thus do not have movement animations necessary for a terrestrial creature to appear to be walking or running. This is usually not an issue for floating/flying creatures that can get away with using their idle for movement.
Does it have any attack animations? Mounts do not usually have attack animation unless they are a variant or used in combat somewhere in the game. This can make creating a replacement far too difficult to execute well, which may result in me turning down the commission request.
Does the creature have particular attacks that you already know of that you can see replacing particular abilities that the summon has?
Cost Estimate
Cost Estimate
Creature replacement mods are an advanced asset replacement that can be difficult to calculate a price for. Their price is considered separate from the job that summons them too. Estimate to be quoted $5 for each core component and $5 for each Ability Component.
For a full Living Shadow replacement expect to be quoted around $140
