The Shadowstalker is a 6-limbed terror that kills for cash. If it is summoned, it first bargains the price for it to kill, then will carry out it's duty until finished - it will never stop. (Cliche!) It has a central body with 6 limbs coming off it, and a porcelien mask for a head. (Think Bleach's Hollows). It can stand up on it's hind legs, and attacks upright.

It prefers to attack from behind, and avoids all brightly-lit areas. It may encounter the PCs in a underground dungeon, or be used as an assasination tool for a NPC the PCs are escorting.

Needs more fluff (including more precise physical description), average hitpoints, caster level for spell like abilities (unless assumed equal to hitdice?).
Other than that it could be good...

Extra Stuff;

Takes 4 times more damage from spells with the Light descriptor
Caster Level = HD

Description;

Long, thick central body, with 6 thin legs branching off it, each into a what looks like a human hand at the end. But, unlike a human's it has claws where the fingernails should be. It's body is matte black, and it hails form the Plane of Shadow. It's mask shows a laughing face, and if you are close enough to see the bottomless back pits where the eyes should be, and the pointed circle of black teeth where the mouth should be, chances are that you are lying bloody on the floor.

As the tithe for whomever the summoner wishes to kill, it can range from gold to magical items, or sometimes it is rumoured even to take blood as it's tithe.
