Shade is an unlockable familiar in The Binding of Isaac, added in the Afterbirth+ DLC.

Spawns a familiar that mimics Isaac's movement with a 0.66 second delay and deals 5 damage per tick (75 per second).

After the familiar deals over 666 damage, it gets absorbed by Isaac and turns into friendly dark Chargers, similar to those spawned by My Shadow.

This enables Isaac to do contact damage at the same rate Shade used to.
