Overview

Shadow the Hedgehog (シャドウ・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Shadō za Hejjihoggu), also known as the Ultimate Life Form (究極生命体, Kyūkyoku Seimeitai), is a dark hero of the Sonic series, he first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2.

Appearance

He has a similar appearance to Sonic, with the following differences: his fur color is primary black with red lines and a white tuft of fur on his chest, his six quills curve upwards (and two curve downwards), and his shoes are mainly white with some red, in contrast to Sonic's red shoes with some white.

However, the reason for their similar appearances is still unknown.

Abilities

He is skilled with firearms and special vehicles, and has a basic fighting ability far superior to Sonic.

With his hover shoes he does not run like Sonic, he glides like an ice skater, and in addition to high-speed movement, he can also hover and, in some works, produce small jet streams as a weapon. The golden rings he wears on both wrists and ankles are Inhibitor Rings that control his powers, and were originally set up in the Sonic X anime, but were re-incorporated in Sonic '06 (as well as the Archie Sonic comics).
