Template:Heartless

The Shadow (シャドウ Shadou?) is a Pureblood Heartless that is found in all Kingdom Hearts games.

Shadows are the weakest and most common of all Heartless, and are found almost everywhere. Shadows are created when the darkness in an ordinary person's heart is unleashed. Other Pureblood Heartless, like Darkside, can produce or summon Shadows. Despite their weak appearance, they are a threat to normal people, who usually have no way of defending themselves. Even Sora had no means of damaging them until he attained the Keyblade.
