Shadow (character)
Template:Character-infobox Shadow the Hedgehog is a prominent anti-hero and the rival of Sonic the Hedgehog in the Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games like Wario from the Mario series. He was created to be the ultimate life-form by Dr. Eggman's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. Shadow does whatever is necessary to achieve his goals, and because of this he has fought both alongside and against Sonic the Hedgehog. Shadow's primary abilities are his supersonic speed and ability to use Chaos Emeralds to manipulate time and space.
