The Banshen make "deals" with souls: protection in exchange for soul energy. Souls go to the shadow realm where they will be safe from Cain and Hollowed. Banshen also often make a second offer with a soul: a soul can become a "shadow spirit".
These fox-like creatures help find other lost souls or guard living souls, though this will put themselves at risk if they run into a Hollowed. Cain are less of a risk to them, as they can often fight and kill off Cain. Shadow spirits also act like eyes and ears to a Banshen, allowing them to cover a larger territory and find living souls near death. Shadow spirits can range from the size of a fox to wolf, based on the soul's preference and the age or power of the soul. Characteristics they all share are large ears and eyes, 3 claws, and markings that resemble the night sky or galaxy.
