Doodad Shadows

I was placing lilypads yesterday for one of caqt maps and something didn't look right. I checked Blizzard's 3rd undead map from RoC and noticed lilypads there have a shadow. Since regular doodads don't have it, I figured those lilypads must have been made destructibles, right? Wrong. I tried moving one of those lilies around and the shadow remained where it was (check the attached picture). Conclusion: those shadows must have been made part of the territory. That's not a trigger thingy, because it's shown in editor, nor is it made with cliffs, terrain variation or regions. I literary turned WE upside down, but I didn't find a single tool that would enable me to make my own shadows. So, did anyone figure it out before or am I breaking ice here?
