## Story

### Life in the Shadows

There are cases where the shadow of a dragon or a person moves arbitrarily. This is a signal that Shadow Dragon is moving.

It can move during the day when the sun is up, but it doesn't show itself very well. The lighter the shadow, the slower the movement speed and the smaller the size. Tiny Shadow Dragons are barely visible.

## Evolution

### Egg

It is surrounded by an unknown aura, so it doesn't think it can breathe it in. Be careful not to be stained by the dark spirit coming out of the egg. Because it needs to periodically absorb the power of darkness, it rolls around following the power of darkness.

### Hatch

It is hard to believe that it was born from an abandoned dragon's egg with the spirit of darkness, and its appearance is very cute. With this appearance, it has possessed many Tamers. Even good Tamers can be possessed regardless of whether they fall or suffer minor injuries. The tip of its faint tail looks like a ghost. It has only front feet without hind feet, and has a habit of floating around.

### Hatchling

Its wings grew larger, and the dark energy surrounding its body grows stronger. The bigger it is, the deeper its grudge will be, and it will attack living beings relentlessly. If you are possessed by a Shadow Dragon hatchling, it will cause harm to the point of serious injury.

### Adult

A Shadow Dragon can control the shadows of various objects in addition to its own shadow. Sometimes it hides itself in the shadows, but it also attacks opponents by creating an alter ego in the shadows. In order to avoid a fight with a dragon, it uses the shadows to run away. Before the sun rises, it quickly finds darkness and hides itself. The body that resembles a shadow actually has a distinct form when touched.

It looks like it has three eyes, with a blue jewel the same color as its eyes. An adult Shadow Dragon's dark aura is very powerful, so be careful. If you get caught by an adult Shadow Dragon, you need to be careful because it sets traps that can put your life in danger.

## Trivia

* Shadow Dragon was originally obtained from an egg that has been sitting in the shelter for at least an hour. However, this was later changed to be thirty minutes, as the rate at which eggs were far beyond the developers original estimates, resulting in very few Shadow Dragons being generated. But despite the decreased timer, players still had difficulty, and side account abuse became so rampant that the developers later had to impose requirements on newer accounts that had to be met to access trades.
* During the time where Shadow Dragons were still exceedingly rare, one particular Shadow Dragon changed owners three times, having been thrown in the Shelter twice. This was such an odd occurrence that developers had to reassure players that dragons did not, in fact, change into Shadow Dragons on their own while in the shelter.
