Shadosaur

== Profile ==
Shadosaur is essentially the “Devil” figure of a carnival 
funhouse/house of horrors, a huge mechanical half cut-out/half living 
shadow figure with abilities one’s not sure how much is stagecraft and 
how much is legit supernatural.
They and their attraction are 
taken around by various shady amusement-park-themed characters, though 
their agenda is mainly to put on a show rather than whatever shady 
business the owner might be up to.
Their minions are mainly weird 
animatronics and puppets, and the terrain in their domain is basically 
like a carnival-themed version of the sort of trippy stuff one might see
 in an old-school games console trying to push its graphics to the 
limits, like the Sega Batman and Robin game or that one Cotton game for 
the Sega CD or anything Jon Burton of Traveller’s Tales worked on.
== Abilities ==
Unknown, namely because they're so elaborate in their methods that nobody has any clue what inherent abilities they have that allows them to work the way they do, though the little evidence we do have hints at least at some ability to control and solidify light and shadow. 
They can essentially manipulate the environment in whatever the way the setpiece they have created requires, but it requires prep-time and they're not the best at manipulating things that've gone outside their elaborately constructed shows. But if you do get caught in them, it's a helluva ride you might not be able to get off...
== Characterization ==
Relatively hard to gather given he never actually speaks. Though, their... consternation when interrupted from their preparations combined with the general elaborate-ness of his preparations does show a deep and abiding love, and their distaste for modifying them under the orders of whomever they are working under shows they consider themselves more an entertainer than hired muscle.
That would especially explain while they are graceful when defeated in combat, but infuriated when somebody (especially a former employer) seems to be trying to steal their gimmick...
== Additional Info. ==
If you want to get a good idea of the sort of Demoscene-nightmare aesthetic excess going on in Shadosaur’s funhouse, check out the Batman and Robin Sega Genesis game for a good demonstration 
== Author Commentary ==
I drew this weirdo first, gave 'em their backstory second. Hence why this is less direct in its pastiche than a lot of the other GBU stuff!
