Ninjas are extremely dangerous creatures that work for the God of Shadows, Itzal. These creatures steal our children. It does not matter where they are or how protected you think they might be; ninjas will find them and capture them. Ninjas bring children back to Itzal for sacrifice. They are very hard to catch because they are half-shadow, half-human. However, they may be killed while they are in their human form. They are very strong and loyal to their master. They enjoy participating in the sacrificial rituals. Ninjas have the ability to turn themselves and other objects or people into shadows. They do this by touching the object or person while in human form and transforming them both at the same time. If you see a shadow that does not seem to fit in the area, please try not to be the hero and run with your children.
