**Dr. Frederick** (commonly known as **the Shadow Cat**) is an antagonist in the Enchanted Pup franchise. He is the evil and dark ruler of Shadowland. For years, he is been at war with Soleado, a magical planet ruled by Dominic Doberman, his longstanding rival. In an attempt to spark a deadly war between the rival kingdoms, Frederick poisons Doberman's firstborn, Felix with a potion that threatens to end his life unless he's given an antidote. To prevent this from occurring, Frederick sends his own shadow and demonic shadowy monsters to do away with his rivals in hopes of not only taking over Soleado but having his shadows consume the entire universe and turn it into a universe populated with monstrous shadows.

## Background

Frederick is the only son of King Raven, the eldest ruler of Shadowland. The shadows of the realm taught him how to control his powers. During his childhood, Raven went to war against Soleado in a desperate attempt to consume the planet with shadows and then dominate the rest of the universe. Unfortunately, for him, he dies during the battle. Following his demise, Frederick is crowned king and makes it his life mission to exact vengeance against Doberman for killing his father and ruining his chances to consume the world with shadows.

### Personality

Dr. Frederick is a manipulative voodoo witch doctor, representing a shadow that blocks out light and implies the existence of some lurking darkness or source of evil. Frederick's motives for taking over the world and populating it with shadows is driven by a desire for power and authority over others, specifically the other planets in the galaxy. Doberman describes Frederick as smooth-talking, charismatic and seductive, initially appearing as an ally to visitors before consuming their souls and turning their bodies into shadows. Frederick is powerful when giving orders to his shadowy minions and when harnessing the power of his cane. As the ruler of the shadow world, Frederick devises plans to torture Dominic, but only out of mischievous fun. He saves his more dangerous plans for when he has a desire to take over the world. Frederick is the physical embodiment of all the misfortune and evil in the world, so, his plans to have Pupnick and Felix killed is his way of bringing misfortune to Doberman and the people of Soleado.

Frederick doesn't rely on his powers to assist him with his plans. He is highly intelligent and a master organizer. When Pupnick and the gang were traveling to Iowa to find the antidote, capable of curing Felix, Frederick spied on the gang by using his crystal ball. Whenever the gang was close to finding the antidote, he would unleash his minions to do away with them. When they fail to carry off his orders, he takes matters in his own hands. Frederick prefers to have his minions to do his dirty work because with the power of his crystal ball, he wants to see as his enemies meet their ultimate demises, showing how sadistic Frederick is.

While being generally composed and calm, Frederick is quick to rage and quick to recover. For when he saw from his crystal ball that Pupnick and his friends have acquired the antidote, his shadow tells him that he'll take care of Pupnick only for Frederick to calmly say "No." The shadow tries to get Frederick to reconsider only for Frederick to scream "No" again. The shadow follows the order and Frederick calms himself down and decides to take matters into his own hands.

### Physical appearance

Dr. Frederick is a black cat who is shown to be in his early-30s, but he due to his status as a physical manifestation of a shadow, he has lived for thousands of years. He wears a black jacket with a red shirt and black pants. He wears a top hat with a skull and crossbones on it.

### Powers and abilities

Dr. Frederick is one of the most powerful villains in the Elkwood universe. For his whole life, Frederick has been taught dark voodoo. He was given a spellbook and took the time to read and try out every spell on Soleado. Frederick thrives on the shadows that surrounds his kingdom as it gives him, his supernatural abilities to conjure anything that he wants or perform his evil spells. Frederick can turn human beings into living shadows by consuming their souls and turning their bodies into shadows that is given scheming and dark personalities. Absorbing a person's soul strengthens Frederick and his magical abilities. Inside Fredrick's domain is a cauldron and in that room resides various chemicals that Frederick used to create his fatal poison that Felix inadvertently ingested. Frederick can turn people's own shadows into sentient beings as he was able to give his shadow, a personality of its own and an indomitable will. With the power of his glass cane, Frederick can shapeshift into other creatures. For when he was confronting Hansel and Alex at the top of a building, he transformed into a dragon. Whenever Frederick enters a world or a room, he always extinguishes all light in the room because his powers won't work unless it is completely dark, however unlike his minions who will instantly fade once they step into the light, the light doesn't harm Frederick in any way but tries to avoid it as it will cause him to lose his powers and will take them 24 hours for them to completely recharge.

## Appearances

### In the Morning to the Evening

Centuries after the events of the Soleadian war, Frederick has finally concocted a scheme to torture Dominic and plunge the world into eternal darkness. In his domain, he creates a poison that he pours into Felix's drink. Once he drank the water, the effects of the poison starts to toll on Felix as he become incredibly ill and is in danger of dying in three days. Frederick believed that this would spark a war between the two rival planets but instead Dominic believes that an antidote will heal Felix. It's located in the state of Iowa in an abandoned building. Upon seeing this from his crystal ball, his shadow asks Frederick does he need him to handle him but Frederick dismisses him, believing that Pupnick won't reach the abandoned buildings without getting past the obstacles, he'll have set up.

When Pupnick and the gang approached a bridge, Frederick waved his cane around the crystal ball of the bridge, destroying it in the process and filling the ocean with carnivorous sea monsters. Hansel tries creating a bridge out of ice but the sea monsters break through it. Pupnick decided to create a flying ship made from sunlight which repels the sea monsters as it turns out they can't stand the sunlight. Frederick is impressed by Pupnick's use of powerful magic but remembers that it won't be enough to save him from another danger. While Pupnick and the gang settle down in a forest for dinner, Frederick summons the Shadow Animals and orders to have Pupnick killed by dragging his crush, Rosie to their doom. Fortunately, Pupnick destroys the shadow demons and saves Rosie from certain doom. Frederick sees this from his crystal ball and is shocked at how Pupnick defeated his minions. His shadow calms him down by reminding him that it's not over yet, they have to get past the abandoned building. Frederick is aware of that but then comes up with an idea, a plan that will help him destroy Soleado and eliminate his rivals.

After retrieving the antidote, Pupnick and his friends return to Soleado where they discover that the kingdom is been taken over by Frederick and his shadowy army. Dominic and Felix are in danger as the royal palace was lifted off of the ground and is dangling over river in Shadowland. When the palace falls into the Shadowland river, it'll permanently turn Dominic and Felix into living shadows. Pupnick has Hansel and his family get the kingdom citizens to safety while he battles Frederick at the Soleadian palace. The two battle each other with weapons created with their respective powers. Unfortunately, Frederick gets the upper hand and prepares to execute Pupnick with his blade. However, Pupnick then remembers what his father told them about Frederick's weakness being the sphere. The sphere of his cane. Pupnick destroys Frederick's cane and doing that causes the shadow, the planet and Frederick to be swept away and into another galaxy not before Frederick vows vengeance against Pupnick for ruining his plans.

Following Frederick's defeat, Felix is revived and Pupnick finds a permeant home in EverRealm after his father abandons his pride and allows his son to live his life while at the same time, reconciling with him.
