Variants

Shadows are powerful phantoms in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are found in Kero Sewers, and usually fight in groups of two to four, sometimes accompanied by Rat Funks.

In a fight, a Shadow will pound a party member with its forelimbs, or shoot a physical energy blast. Additionally, these phantoms know the special attack Endobubble, inducing the Fear status ailment in one party member. A Shadow's yellow eyes flash red when they are attacking. Since they are undead, Shadows can be instantaneously destroyed with Pure Water.

A stronger variant known as Doppel is found in Smithy's dimension.
