Template:Games Template:Heartless The Shadow 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.

Trivia

  • In Kingdom Hearts, Sora turns into a Shadow after using the Keyblade of People's Hearts to release Kairi's heart at the cost of his own. When in this form, Sora can only move and jump.
  • In the regular Chain of Memories, Atlantica is the only world with Heartless, but without Shadows. In Re: Chain of Memories, Shadows are available in Atlantica only if a Bottomless Darkness map card is used.
  • Shadows may possibly be based upon the similarly named enemy from Super Mario RPG, also developed by Square.
  • In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, The Dark Follower spawns purple shadows instead of regular black ones. This might mean that there are different kinds of shadows based on color, instead of just size.
  • Although they are a very weak species of Heartless, they appear to be too much for Donald and Goofy in Kingdom Hearts after Sora gives up his heart to save Kairi, and to complete the Final Keyhole. This is seeing as they seem unsure once five or six are summoned by Xehanort's Heartless, as well as being able to hold down Sora in the Hall of Empty Melodies in Kingdom Hearts II.
