Trivia

• Despite being introduced in first chapter of Undead campaign, they are not available to train until the sixth chapter.
• Though not being able to attack, Shades have several quotes for attacking anyway (see here). It is likely that the Shade was more than an unarmed scout during the development of Warcraft 3.
