Shade

Revision as of 19:50, 26 May 2022 by Aphelion (talk | contribs)

The Shade is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest III.

Characteristics

Shades originally appeared as a white and grey shadow with light blue eyes, but was depicted as solid black with orange eye light in the Super Famicom remake of the third game. When it reappeared in the eighth game, it kept the dark color, but changed its eyes for a shade of blue similar to its original sprite's; this has been the look the creature has kept ever since.
