Shadow Kranky

This page not only contains lore, but it involves in-game secrets! Unless you want to be spoiled on secret characters, do not read this article.

This character has over 20 relationships. That's a lot. You have been warned.

### Aliases

Off the Hook, Pirate Crab, Captain Kranky

### Gender

Male

**Shadow Kranky** is one of the Shadowdwellers. He's known for his pirate-like appearance and his unique blue color, unlike his real-world counterpart, who is red in color. To unlock him as a playable character, you'll need to have beaten Story Mode and have defeated The Evil Eye. Then, head to the Darkened Shore. There, you'll find Shadow Kranky. Talk to him to initiate a battle against him. Defeat him to receive his figurine.

## History/Lore

Originally, he lived a peaceful life in The Shadow World, until The Shadow Master came along, that is. When he found Shadow Kranky's den, he was quick to inject the crab with Shadolium. The Shadolium grew powerful enough to cut off one of his claws, so it had to be replaced with the next best thing.

## Relationships

### The Shadow Master

Rather than serve under the control of the Shadow Master, he and his three sons have been trying to dominate the world in their own way. So far, however, they haven't had any ideas.

### Shadow Blueface

Shadow Kranky is on Shadow Blueface's side of the argument. He isn't afraid to butt heads with The Shadow Master.

### Shadow Nebula

Shadow Nebula cannot be seen by Shadow Kranky from his home deep under the sea.

### Shadow Void

Shadow Kranky claims he lost his left claw in a fight, not just because of Shadolium being in his blood. Shadow Void shudders at the thought this can actually happen.

### Shadow RaptoX

Shadow RaptoX wants the blue crab to tutor him. He claims that he'd "love to know what skills he uses in combat".

### Shadow Vessel

Unamused by Shadow Vessel's "lies", he believes that "he must be awful low on the hierarchy, then."

### Shadow Tipper and Tyke

The two claim they learned how to resist the elements from Shadow Kranky. In particular, they're become more fire-resistant.

### Shadow Billy

Shadow Billy is one of the few who Shadow Kranky doesn't like being around. He says "the power of the rock is mightier than the flame's."

### Shadow Umbra

Shadow Kranky has his own theory on why Shadow Umbra is here. He thinks he could be a Shadow Guardian from another timeline, brought here to stop an accident from happening. No one knows what this accident may have been, though.

### Shadow Chomper

Their relationship is unknown. Because one says one thing while the other says the complete opposite, it's hard to tell which one is being truthful, if any.

### Shadow FrostByte

Shadow FrostByte wants to be friends with Shadow Kranky. However, The Shadow Master doesn't seem to like that idea...

### Shadow Purper

Shadow Purper is one of Shadow Kranky's closer friends. They often get together and party.

### Shadow Ghastly

Shadow Kranky can't stand seeing the scar on Shadow Ghastly's eye. In fact, he'd much rather not even think about it.

### Shadow Something and Shadow Norm Al

The two seem to be considered "threats" by Shadow Kranky. He's trying to protect his three sons.

### Shadow Orey-O

Shadow Kranky wishes to have Orey-O rebel, not in the same way as Shadow Blueface, but like he did. Then, they'll gladly accept him as the new Spooky-Element Shadow Guardian, replacing Shadow Precious.

### Shadow Fishbreath, Shadow Fishbubble, and Shadow Princebubble

Shadow Kranky refuses to use them in combat due to his fear that "the fear factor will decrease".

### Shadow Blair

Strangely, he seems to be weak to the water magic used by Shadow Blair. This comes as even more of a shock when it's learned he lives in a deep-sea area. What could be the cause of this?

### Shadow Stellar

His fire magic is super-effective on Shadow Stellar. As a result, Shadow Stellar tends to shy away from Shadow Kranky.

### Shadow Donut Dude

He loves croissants that are made by Shadow Donut Dude. He claims they're "just as good as donuts, if not better".

### Shadow DJ Electro

Shadow DJ Electro is a fellow Shadow Guardian in the Electric field. He's known to be quite powerful when paired with Shadow Kranky (think electrical fires).
