Skulks are lost souls, cursed to wander forever in The Shadowfell. Though they typically pass by unnoticed by most, they will appear grey and devoid of most humanoid features if seen. Skulks retain no information or memory of their former life and have been called "mindless", "useless", and sometimes "the walking dead". However, many skulks have escaped the Shadowfell and sought purpose on other planes of existence.
