The '''Shadow''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. Although the Shadow is one of the weaker, more common types of Heartless, it is still a threat to those without the [[Keyblade]]. It is found in each world in every game, excluding the worlds of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''; [[Atlantica]] in ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''; and [[The World That Never Was]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', this Heartless appeared only in the [[Realm of Darkness]] during the [[Secret Episode]] of the game. Certain Heartless, such as the [[Darkside]], the [[Dark Follower]], or [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], can also summon Shadows. | |||

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. | 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.

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. | 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.

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. | Shadows appear when [[Roxas]] trains with [[Marluxia]] in Twilight Town, who uses them to illustrate why [[Organization XIII]] pursues Emblem Heartless but ignores Purebloods.

When Sora's and Riku's teams enter the [[Hall of Empty Melodies]], swarms of Shadows appear and attack them separately.

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. | 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.

=== | ===Strategy=== | ||
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 in ''Kingdom Hearts'', 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. | |||
Sora can block Shadows' scratch attacks with [[Guard]], but he does not gain any [[Tech Points]] for doing so successfully. | |||
