The Shadow has a very special form of strength damage:
Strength Damage (Su)
The touch of a shadow deals 1d6 points of Strength damage to a living foe. A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a shadow dies. This is a negative energy effect.
Create Spawn (Su)
Any humanoid reduced to Strength 0 by a shadow becomes a shadow under the control of its killer within 1d4 rounds.
Bearing in mind that damage translates between forms (and I as the DM read that as Strength damage, too) if, after taking a lot of strength damage from a Shadow, someone uses Alternate Form (or similar abilities) to become something that has a lower strength score than the amount of damage that's been applied (e.g., turning into a str 8 halfling after having taken 10 strength damage) does the "A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a shadow dies" clause apply?
