Shadow

Shadow is a minor entity in DOORS, appearing when a player enters a new room in The Hotel. It is one of the rarest entities that can be encountered in The Hotel.
== Appearance==
Shadow appears as an all-black, lanky humanoid figure with long arms and legs.
== Behavior==
When opening a door Shadow will appear in for a split second before disappearing with a rough sound and causing the lights to flicker. This has roughly a 1/2000 (0.05%) chance of happening.
===Notes=== 
*Besides the short jumpscare, a player cannot interact with Shadow in any way.
*Shadow's appearance in video footage can be seen here.
*Shadow can appear in any new room excluding Doors 99 and The Electrical Room.
*Rush can trigger Shadow by opening the next door.
*Shadow can appear during and right after Seek's Chase.
== Bugs==
*Shadow appearing in a dark room causes the room to stay lit up after the flickering lights. Despite the light being on the room is still considered dark (e.g. Screech can spawn, Guiding Light lighting up doors). This can also affect the Greenhouse.
**This could be because the lights are usually meant to stay on after the flickering is done.
*Shadow has a chance of appearing as a white gradient square instead of it's usual appearance due to an issue with loading the decal.
== Trivia== 
*"Shadow" is a nickname given by the community as no official name has been given. 
**This makes Shadow one of the four entities to not have an official name, with the others being Red Light, Guiding Light and Curious Light.
**Wowzers has confirmed that Shadow does not have a real name.Q: "Also will you ever tell us Window and Shadow's official names?" A: "they dont have official names but windows is referred to sally" – Ghostly_Wowzers
*Shadow's old design was originally attached to the ceiling. This was removed due to the fear of it resembling a person being hung, which is against Roblox's Terms of Service.
**Despite this, Shadow's old design is still used in the Tower Heroes Event.
*Shadow's can spawn along with other entities.
*Shadow's audio is a fire crackling sound but distorted and slowed down.
**The full version of this sound was present during the Tower Heroes Event.
*Shadow's sound will always have a different pitch tone, just like Ambush.
*Shadow's decal is titled "creepy_dude".
*It was confirmed by Ghostly_Wowzers that Shadow will never get an achievement in-game.Q: "Will Window/Shadow/Guiding Light get their own achievements in the next update since they are the only entities that don’t have any?" A: "no they wont have their own achievements" – Ghostly_Wowzers
*Wowzers has stated that Shadow will remain an easter egg for the time being."window and shadow will probably just serve as easter eggs for now" – Ghostly_Wowzers
*Wowzers has previously stated that Shadow will likely have a future use."shadow will probably have a future use so for now i'll keep it in the list of entities" – Ghostly_Wowzers
*Shadow bears a striking resemblance to The Lookman, though this is likely coincidental.
