Shadow Stealth
While in dim light or darkness, the horror can take the Hide action as a bonus action.
Shadow Stride
As a bonus action, the horror can step into a shadow within 5 feet of it and magically appear in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of a second shadow that is up to 60 feet away. Both shadows must be cast by a Small or larger creature or object.

While in sunlight, the horror has disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
