Dungeon 117 Cover

So, I've got the issue in storage... and I was flipping though issues to get an idea for a side quest for my Rise of the Runelords group and saw the cover. I've never run anything from it. A quick cursory look through doesn't reveal any info on it.

So... what are these nasty looking things? They look AWESOME, intelligent, evil and look to be great threats.

Are they shadows? Aberrant black puddings, molds, oozes?
Doppelgangers gone wild?

If you know, can help my wee DM brain?
Thanks!

***fixed url - thanks to Are for pointing it out.

Fixed the link for you :)

Unfortunately I don't have the issue in question, so I can't help with the actual question. I think the index page for the issues some times mentioned what the cover image was of.

Thanks, Are. I'll check that out. My quick google-fu search came up nil.

James Ryman just keeps getting better and better. Dungeon's favorite paladin takes on the shadows of Istivin in this tour de force from a rising superstar.

However, the Istivin adventures don't have any new monsters that resemble the picture so it may be shadows. Shadows that look like evil, undead black puddings...

I would also like to point out that the Istivin, City of Shadows adventures by Greg A. Vaughan were amazing. My group and I had a blast with them including an encounter they still talk about today.


The shadowy creatures on the issue cover of 117 are wraiths or greater wraiths.
