Template:Umbral Fetch
Umbral Fetch was a pet cosmetic skin in a pre-order pack.[1]
Hardly more than a swatch of Void-stuff animated by a bit of precious Essence, the Umbral Fetch is arguably nothing more than a struggling shade aspiring to life on the Material Plane. When an Umbral Fetch is seen, it usually attempts to take the shape of a common animal like a cat, a rabbit, or an oversized spider, but the fetch can only hold a cohesive shape for a short period of time before falling back into a formless cloud.
Since the Material Plane and the Void have no common borders, an Umbral Fetch can only travel to the mortal realm by “hitching a ride” on an entity being pulled there by a summoning ritual or dark magic spell. They can also be pulled across the veil in the magical eddies trailing in the wake of a Harbinger, or in the crossing of an archdemon, demon, or Greater Shedim. They linger on the Material Plane for as long as possible by consuming scraps of fervor and strong emotion.
Some Shedim keep these little aberrations as pets, as do aspirant Void and Shadow Mages. A few have been trained to do simple tasks, but the ephemeral spirits are more often taken on for their aesthetic.[1]
