He considers himself the Ultimate, but is afraid of the darkness within him. While his and Sonic’s goals are often the same, Shadow is much more brutal and radical in achieving them, which gives him a rather dark reputation and makes most characters either fear or hate him.Īlthough Shadow often talks about himself in a respectful tone, considering himself the strongest and fastest, he has a very troubled past for which he largely blames himself. Shadow will achieve his goal by any means necessary.

Shadow is willing to destroy the world just for a friend.

Shadow rarely works with anyone, yet he is one of the most loyal friends of all the characters in the Sonic universe. He is silent and single-minded, always doing whatever it takes to achieve his goal. Like Sonic, Shadow despises lies and senseless cruelty and will go to great lengths to prevent injustice, but Shadow is dark, vengeful and often cruel. The antipode of Sonic, having the same speed and abilities, however, Shadow is completely different in behavior and has a much different outlook on life.
