HP wise at least creatures have exactly average for their hit die, even if they only have one hit die. The number is listed in their bestiary entries.

For a Shadow creature you find the number and divide it by five. If you somehow summoned the goblin there instead of having 6 HP, it'd have 1 HP (as you nearly always round fractions down).

The creature makes a will save when interacting with the shadow creature, or the shadow creature interacts with it.

Partial means that if this roll is successful the target only takes 1/5 the usual damage because they realize it's not real.

It's the rules laid out in Shadow Conjuration, pretty much.

It makes sound and such because it's partially real. It's basically Schrodinger's Summon. It appears as perfectly real until it or you do something to interact with it and you realize that something's off about it.
Ok, so does that mean I can make orcus at like level 10 and all that he has limited is his hit points?

What are the limitation to the stuff that shadow magic can mimmick?
