===== Lua Script Implementation =====

The mob uses a custom interact function that swaps positions with the player:
<code lua>
local RPD = require "scripts/lib/commonClasses"
local mob = require"scripts/lib/mob"

return mob.init({
    interact = function(self, chr)
        local ownPos  = self:getPos()
        local newPos  = chr:getPos()

        self:move(newPos)
        self:getSprite():move(ownPos, newPos)

        chr:move(ownPos)
        chr:getSprite():move(newPos, ownPos)
    end
})
</code>

  * <code xml>Shadow_Name</code> - Mob name
