Okay, so when I heard the term "Shadow Follower", the following idea is the one that came into my head...and I think it would have worked very well with Treachery and Deceit. Oh well.
Anyway, a "Harasser" is like a follower, but it’s a shadow card-and it’s transferred to a companion! Instead of Aid-, it has Hinder-, which functions just like its Free Peoples counterpart. Harassers will provide penalties to the Free Peoples, representing things like Grima’s influence on Theoden.
•Grima, Poisonous Serpent
Harasser
Vitality: -1
Resistance: -1
Hinder-Discard a card from hand.
To play, spot Saruman. Bearer cannot be an exhausted companion.
Skirmish: If bearer is a valiant man, transfer Grima to your support area to add a threat.
•Grima’s Guards
Harasser
Hinder-Discard a card from hand.
At the start of the assignment phase, you may spot three threats and another harasser to prevent bearer from being assigned to a skirmish until the start of the regroup phase.
Saruman’s Sway
Condition • Support Area
Each time you transfer a harasser to a companion, you may remove to add a threat. |

I like the whole idea, although ’hindrance’ sounds kind of bland. I dunno. Also, the Hinder cost should be higher, especially on Grima, who decks vitality. |

GREAT idea! "Spy" or "Traitor" doesn’t cut it for me, because this would be including things like Gollum, Grishnakh, Southron assassins, maybe even Ferny. |

I think you can get rid of the second "remove" in the text, and also should be "each time" instead of "when". Otherwise I think it’s good.

Neat.

Might want to specify harassers and perhaps raise the cost to .. Good otherwise.
