Shi are enemies found in Mausoleum who have the appearance of a ghostly woman wearing a long dress. Shi will float erratically towards Isaac while periodically summoning needle projectiles aligned along one of Isaac's cardinal directions. These needles will follow his movements for a moment, before winding back and quickly darting forwards until it flies off screen. Occasionally, If Isaac gets too close to a Shi, she may stop chasing Isaac to raise her arms up and reveal her clawed hands before making an aggressive swipe towards him.
Each Shi will only summon one needle at a time, and produce a new needle after each one is launched. When a Shi is killed, their corresponding needles will disappear.
