Shadow is a main protagonist from the Sonic series. He is the final creation of the late Gerald Robotnik aboard the Space Colony Ark and considered to be the "Ultimate Lifeform". He was created also using traces of alien DNA from the Black Arms aliens but overall the reason was to hopefully have the DNA helpful in curing an illness plaguing Gerald's grandaughter, Maria. Not long after, he was captured by government G.U.N agents leading to the station being overrun and himself in stasis for being labeled a threat. He would later be released and help carry out a plan against humanity but would come to a realization along the way involving his close bond with Maria, viewing positively about humanity from then on. While helping prevent a doomsday scenario he sacrificed himself but was said to have only suffered amnesia as a result. He'd have moments regaining parts of his memories of his life while also aiding Sonic and friends occasionally. Shadow is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog. He has red eyes, a patch of white fur on his chest, a black nose, a tan muzzle, and small, triangular ears with tan canals. He also has six quills on his head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, two spines on his back, and a short, pointy tail. He has red stripes on each of his head quills, around the edges of his eyes, and on his arms and legs. Shadow wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and Air Shoes which, like his gloves, have black cuffs and red tongues. Shadow also wears Inhibitor Rings, one on each of his wrists and ankles. For abilities, he bears all the same abilities of Sonic himself being able to move at high speed, use homing attack and even Chaos Control and a super form utilizing Chaos Emeralds. The only difference to Sonic innterms of power is his inhibitor rings he wears are limiters to his real power.
