Forest Biome - Shadow

Overview
A darker variation of the forest, the creatures here can be brutal but are a bit calmer than the creatures in other shadow biome variants. Due to their passive nature, Filtering Trees do not live here. Instead, Predatory Trees thrive. This biome is where the evolution of certain shells or armor on the back of a creature came to be, since the trees cannot aim upwards while trying to eat.

All creatures that live here have a tendency to live in packs. Those that don’t usually have a very powerful shell or are very stupid, in which case it is unknown why the stupid creatures are even there. They live together so they can defend against Predatory Trees, large predators, and other packs. Packs often raid one another for food, even if they are the same species.

Guardians live here, though they are not as passive as ones in other biomes. They often eat trees instead.

Temperature
Unlike the Light Forest, creatures in the Shadow Forest are unwilling to give up their borders for Ice or Fire biomes to extend their borders. Often, during times like this, fire or ice creatures can be found attacking the forests in an attempt to extend their borders.

Behavioral
During the Day of Calm, the Shadow Forest loses its status as "shadowed" and becomes just a normal forest biome. This can also happen if a rare light creature walks into the biome.

Variants
The Shadow Forest has a calmer variant called the Light Forest.

Forests can be found in Fire, Ice, and rarely in Stone biomes. The trees are specialized for their habitats.
