Shadow Demon

A demon of pure shadow that phases in and out of reality, attacking from unexpected angles.

It does not so much move through the room as happen in different parts of it. Shadow Demons exist partially outside this plane — visible as shifting patches of darkness that collect into something with intent. Conventional weapons connect with them inconsistently; magic hits reliably. The absence of a shadow beneath it is the clearest warning you'll get.
