 |journalKH3=These shifty shades skulk around, then strike out of the blue. Stay locked on to make sure they don't give you the slip.<br><br>They're immune to normal attacks when they dive beneath the surface, but a splash of Water magic will yank them out of hiding in a hurry!

The '''Shadow''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. Shadows are one of the weakest and most common varieties of Heartless, although they can still pose a threat to those without a [[Keyblade]].

Certain Heartless, such as the [[Darkside]], the [[Dark Follower]], or [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], can summon Shadows. The [[Demon Tower]] and [[Demon Tide]] consist of a swarm of Shadows.

==Design==
A normal Shadow has a vaguely humanoid body structure. It has a round, spherical head with circular, glowing yellow eyes. It also has two long, twisted antennae sprouting out of the top of its head. Each of its hands has three clawed fingers, and its feet are large and lack any discernible digits. With the exception of its eyes, this Heartless's body is completely black (with the exception of the Shadows summoned by the Dark Follower, which are dark purple).

The Shadow's name is a reference to a {{w|shadow}}, highlighting its status as the most basic type of Heartless. The name could also be a reference to the Shadow's ability to flatten itself into a silhouette on the ground, and become a literal shadow.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
While [[Aqua]] is traversing the Realm of Darkness, she encounters the Shadow among a few other Pureblood Heartless.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[File:Sora as a Heartless KH.png|thumb|left|200px|Sora is temporarily a Shadow.]]
The Shadows first appear within [[Sora]]'s [[Dive to the Heart]], but are summarily destroyed by Sora, along with the Darkside, and he awakes from his dream. However, when [[Riku]] opens the door to [[Destiny Islands]]'s heart, the Shadows reappear to devour the children's island. Sora notices the storm caused by their arrival and races to the island, but although he attacks them with his [[Wooden Sword]], he is unable to damage the eldritch monsters until he discovers the [[Kingdom Key|Keyblade]]. Although he is now equipped to fight back the horde, his friends have already fallen into the darkness, and the island's heart has been devoured.

Shadows continue to appear as minor Heartless throughout the worlds, but do not reappear in force until Sora completes the [[Door to Darkness]] at [[Hollow Bastion]] by releasing [[Kairi]]'s heart from his body. Not only does this change him into a [[Shadow Form|Shadow]], but the triumphant Ansem summons a swarm of Shadows to chase Kairi, [[Donald Duck]], and [[Goofy]] from the castle. However, at the Entrance Hall, Kairi notices the Shadow that is Sora and embraces him, sharing her light with him and returning his human form.

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
{{canon
|Shadows appear in the [[Mission Mode]] tutorial when the player learns about collecting Mission Points.
}}

Shadows appear when [[Roxas]] trains with [[Marluxia]] in Twilight Town, who uses them to illustrate why [[Organization XIII]] pursues Emblem Heartless but ignores Purebloods. Much later, when Roxas goes to [[Halloween Town]] on a mission in which he is to meet up with [[Xigbar]], he is surrounded by Shadows before being rescued by his senior. Still later, Roxas fought a more powerful version of the Darkside, the Dark Follower, which summoned a swarm of Shadows in its unsuccessful attempt to repel the Nobody.

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
Several Shadows spawn when Sora and company attempt to leave the card world of [[Monstro]], when [[Jack Skellington]] mentions a "problem" in Halloween Town, and when Sora arrives in [[Agrabah]] to find [[Aladdin]] under attack by Heartless.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
[[File:Goodbye, King Mickey 04 KHII.png|thumb|200px|Shadows are created from the destroyed Kingdom Hearts.]]
When Sora's and Riku's teams enter the [[Hall of Empty Melodies]], swarms of Shadows appear and attack them separately. Riku lends Kairi a [[Destiny's Embrace|Keyblade]], and they each fight back the swarm. However, it is Xigbar who finishes the Heartless off before challenging Sora to battle.

After [[Ansem the Wise]] fires the [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] at [[Xemnas]]'s artificial [[Kingdom Hearts]], the shower of hearts that results attracts a gigantic swarm of Shadows, who attack the castle. [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]] offer to hold off the Shadows so that Sora and his friends can defeat Xemnas, in exchange for the castle itself. The castle and the artificial world it was built on are destroyed in Xemnas's final assault, taking the Shadows with them.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
In the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], the [[Real Organization XIII]] summons a swarm of Shadows along with other enemies to attack the [[Guardians of Light]] when they first arrive in the Graveyard, and later a massive swarm of Shadows encircles the Guardians before being repelled by [[Yen Sid]].

===''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''===
While Sora is searching for the fragments of Kairi's heart in [[Scala ad Caelum]], a Shadow with a pink aura appears guarding one of the fragments.
{{-}}

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Shadows emerge from the ground to attack with a simple but powerful scratch attack. These Heartless are easy to defeat on their own, but their habit of attacking in large swarms can be quite overwhelming. When facing swarms of Shadows, the [[Thunder]] spell is an effective means of finishing off these foes quickly. The Keyblade is sufficient enough to take down a Shadow when it challenges Sora on its own, however.

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
Shadows tend to be the weakest of any enemy group, and if things prove too crowded can be defeated first. Their cards generally have a low value, making them easy to defeat, or to farm card breaks for Riku's [[Dark Mode]]. In order to guarantee one's attack to land on a Shadow and prevent them from melting into the ground, one shoud perform a CardBreak to leave them vulnerable.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Shadows function much the same as they do in ''Kingdom Hearts'', and can easily be defeated with basic ground combos. Their attacks are slow and predictable with easily noticeable movements that give time to guard or dodge. They can be picked off to regain small amounts of HP while fighting other stronger enemies.

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
While Shadows are weak and pose little threat, they are best ignored as they are rarely required for the completion of a mission and drop no [[Heart Points]]. However, if they need to be fought then there should be little problem confronting them with a simple ground combo or two, or a cast of magic such as [[Thunder]] for dealing with groups. Watch for when they twitch, as that signals their attack where they will lunge forward with their claws.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Shadows function much the same as their previous incarnations, however here they can be forced out of the ground with the usage of [[Water]] magic, and they topple to the ground if ran into. They can be easily defeated within a single combo, making them useful for building up the situation gauge and recovering the HP they drop, especially in the [[Demon Tower]] fight where the cast-offs will drop extra HP when defeated.

A Shadow with a pink aura and especially high health is fought in [[Scala ad Caelum]], and defeating it is necessary to advance. After portions of its health are depleted, it will teleport around the area to distract Sora with other enemies. Defeating this Shadow will grant Sora a fragment of Kairi's heart and move him onto the next area, regardless of how many other enemies remain.
