A monster that emits non-persistent darkness in an area, just like how various monsters shed light in an area.

Various monsters have been suggested for this effect:

  • Black lights are one that already exists; this would invert its current light radius of 1 into darkness.
  • A shadow dragon.
  • A darkness elemental, which in addition to shedding a radius of darkness, also permanently darkens squares it moves throught by removing the lit state.
