Not to be confused with Shadow the Hedgehog.

The shadow[1] (影だ[2] Kageda?) is an enemy in that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was a creature that Mephiles the Dark could summon.

The shadows were similar in appearance to Mephiles' crystalline form, except their heads were triangular with a single purple eye on their face, and had two hands with claw-like fingers.

Sonic 06 Mephiles Shadows

A horde of shadows in Mephiles' first boss battle, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), shadows fly around the arena, surrounding Shadow (or E-123 Omega during the second phase of the boss fight). During the first boss battle, individual shadows are harmless alone, but once their group is large enough, they will launch themselves at Shadow and cling on to him. They can be avoided and destroyed easily by using the Spin Kick. The greater the number of shadows holding on, the stronger their glow will resonate. This glow represents their power, and once it fills up completely they will all explode at once, causing massive damage to Shadow. This can be evaded by performing a Chaos Attack as the explosion happens. In the second boss fight, they will launch themselves at Shadow from the ceiling.

Sonic Forces: Speed Battle[]

In Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, Mephiles' shadows are present as part of his arsenal for Swarming Darkness and Stalking Shade power-ups.

Powers and abilities[]

Shadows could merge together to become Mephiles's monstrous form.[3]
