Meaning “the shadows that melt the flesh”, vashta nerada are shadow swarms that slip into the material plane from the void. Vashta nerada are often described as “piranhas of the air”, and can strip the flesh in an instant. They usually live in small groups, living on carrion, but sometimes they gather and prey on the living; not everyone returns from the dark.

- The vashta nerada swarm shifts into the space of a target within 1 square and takes the form of the target's shadow , becoming the same size as the target. Whenever the target moves or shifts, the swarm shifts with it, shifting into the square it moves to. While the swarm is latched onto the target in this way, if the target is killed by an attack made by the swarm, it rises as a free willed vashta nerada suit at the start of the swarm's next turn, standing up where it died . The vashta nerada suit is composed from the target's body, and so it must be slain before the target can be resurrected.
- The vashta nerada swarm appears to be an area of shadow, and gains total concealment when the entire swarm is in an area of dim light or darkness. In addition, a DC 26 perception check is required to notice that the vashta nerada swarm is not an ordinary shadow. If the swarm attacks, the creature it attacks can immediately notice that the swarm is not a shadow.
- +6 Vs. Fortitude; 3d10 + 4 necrotic damage.
- Close burst 1; the vashta nerada swarm makes a basic melee attack against each enemy in the burst.
