Riyl shadow are monsters that can be encountered in Temple Trekking while travelling along the easy route, which attempt to break into the houses of the three unafflicted people in Mort'ton. On occasion they have been known to leave their catacombs to attack trekkers and ramblers in the town above their dark burial place.
