Several races and monsters get total concealment as long as they are in shadows. Does that work against Darkvision? I'm inclined to say yes, but I'd like to know before I run a shadow dragon or something.

Shadow Blend has a whole bunch of different versions, so it depends on which one is being used. If it's a version that still requires the hiding character to have concealment, then Darkvision will spot them just fine; if it's a version that doesn't require having anything to hide behind (such as the Shadowdancer's), then Darkvision won't help.

Edit: using the Shadow Dragon as an example, it's the Shadow Blend ability itself that gives them concealment, and not the darkness the dragon's in. Darkvision would not help against that.
