Shadow Beast

, also known as Twilit Messengers, Shadow Beings,, and Fell Beasts, are recurring NaN Enemies in.

NaN Shadow Beasts are dark, willowy beings that drop out of NaN Portal (Object)s all across TPHD: and in the TPHD:. Most travel in packs but some can be found alone. NaN Shadow Beasts are TPHD: members that have been corrupted and turned into monsters by TPHD:. NaN Shadow Beasts are strong enough that only a few were needed to overrun and defeat the scores of NaN Hylian Soldiers guarding TPHD:, despite the fact that the latter had advantageous numbers. It is also hinted by TPHD: that they are not only composed of transformed TPHD:, but also have the ability to turn NaN Humans into their kind, meaning that they are not restricted to one species.

If one TPHD: is left standing during a group battle, it will let out a howl that revives the others. Because of this, at least the last two must be defeated at the same time in order to truly defeat a group. Once there are only a few left, most attacks with a wide area of effect can finish them, although some (such as the TPHD: or the TPHD:) will not. Defeating a group of NaN Shadow Beasts allows TPHD: to warp to the point where they were defeated.

Different NaN Shadow Beasts are seen in the cutscene which shows TPHD: taking TPHD: and TPHD:'s history of the TPHD:. These are larger than conventional NaN Shadow Beasts, and bear a different head-dressing; a round silver plate with a special marking on them. However, these monsters are never seen during actual gameplay, so their status and any exclusive powers remain a mystery.

In the TPHD: there are NaN Twilis who have not fully turned into NaN Shadow Beasts. They can be transformed back into NaN Twilis by bringing a TPHD: near them.

NaN Shadow Beasts appear as a SSBB: and TPHD: in.
