'''Shades''' are monsters that reside in the fourth level of the [[Stronghold of Security]]: [[Sepulcher of Death]] and in the [[Catacombs of Kourend]]. The shades in the Stronghold of Security are found next to the ladder leading to the current floor alongside a [[Zombie (Sepulcher of Death)|Zombie]], while the ones in the Catacombs of Kourend are found in the northernmost area of Reeking Cove, south from the [[steel dragon]]s. It is worth noting that combat experience gained while fighting the shades in the Stronghold of Security is drastically reduced; the player will gain 1 experience for 10 damage dealt.
 
 
As shades are [[undead]], they are affected by the [[Salve amulet]] and [[Crumble Undead]]. They are also extremely weak to the [[Gadderhammer]], although a [[dragon scimitar]] deals more damage on average.
 
 
They are generally regarded as a terrible way to complete the "Shades" [[slayer task]] due to their high damage and high hitpoints (the better choice being [[Loar Shades]] in [[Mort'ton]]), with the only notable drops being shade robe pieces, which have little practicality.
 
 
Shades in the Stronghold of Security can be [[safespot]]ted using a skeleton found on the eastern side in the middle northern part of the room. They also have reduced xp rates amounting to 4xp per slayer kill
 
 
==History==
 
Before the [[random event]] update in [[2014]], the shade used to appear randomly when burying [[bones]]. On appearance, it would say "Leave this place!". As with similar guardian random events, the shade's [[combat level]] and stats scaled with the player's combat level, as well as only being attackable by the targeted player.
 
 
The shade was somewhat rare, as [[pay-to-play]] players rarely buried bones in high enough quantities to activate this random event. Also, [[Prayer]] had two other random events that could occur while training it: [[Zombie (Sepulcher of Death)|Zombie]] and [[Leo the Gravedigger]]. Shades would not appear if training Prayer via the [[Ectofuntus]] or a [[Gilded altar|POH altar]].
