Will Shadowy Husks be a new enemy in Genshin Impact 2.5?

Something dangerous may be lurking in the shadows.

Genshin Impact 2.5 is approaching fast, and a pretty hefty amount of new things are waiting on the horizon, according to leaks for the update. While there's plenty to look forward to, such as Yae Miko and a new Raiden Shogun boss fight, one exciting piece of information in particular mentions a potential new threat belonging to the Abyss Order—Shadowy Husks are speculated to be a new enemy set to appear in Genshin Impact 2.5.

Note: The following information is purely speculation based on leaked information about Genshin Impact's 2.5 update.

Shadowy Husks

Well respected Genshin Impact leaker, @Ubatcha1, has revealed bits of information indicating that Shadowy Husks will be making an entrance in Genshin Impact 2.5 as a new menace to the inhabitants of Teyvat. According to leaks, they'll be found in the wilds around Narukami Island, along with appearing inside of the Spiral Abyss on its deepest floors. This information still has yet to be confirmed by MiHoYo, but enough data exists within the 2.5 beta to give players an idea of what these imposing figures can do.

Shadowy Husks are dark, humanoid creatures that appear to come in three variants, each using a different weapon and element—the Pyro flag bearing Standard Bearer, the Hydro lance wielding Line Breaker, and the Cryo sharpshooting Defender. Based on further information provided, these new enemies will even be capable of creating shields and healing each other, meaning that players' skills will certainly be put to the test when facing these Abyssal threats.

Another reliable source for Genshin Impact leaks, @projectcelestia, has stated that defeating Shadowy Husks will reward players with a new type of Weapon Ascension Material. If the data collected from the 2.5 Beta is accurate, Gloomy, Dark, and Deathly Statuettes can be obtained and used to upgrade the Kirin Bow weapon. Shadowy Husks will be an interesting new enemy with some fun yet challenging mechanics from everything we've seen so far.

This information is speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt, as MiHoYo's final product may differ from the information found so far.
