When a shadow giant hits with a melee attack, the target must succeed at a save or become Drained 1 and take a -1 status penalty to Perception checks involving sight as long as they remain drained. On a critical failure, this condition doesn't heal naturally and can be removed only with magic.

Shadow Chain

2 actions

Shadows extend the giant's chain as they make a spiked chain Strike, increasing their reach to 60 feet for that Strike. If this hits, the target must succeed at a save or be teleported to an empty space within the shadow giant's normal reach.

The shadow giant gains the effect of the spell for 1 minute or until it is exposed to direct sunlight, whichever comes first.
