🧙 Shadow Shaman

The Shadow Shaman is a magical monster in Stardew Valley, part of the Shadow People. They appear in the lower levels of the Mines and occasionally in the dangerous version of the Mines. Unlike the Shadow Brute, Shadow Shamans use ranged magic attacks and can heal nearby monsters, making them a high-priority target in combat.

Shadow Shamans are dangerous not because of their raw damage but because their healing ability can prolong fights, especially in large groups of monsters.
