A shadow beast. Source Twisted beings under the thumb of the usurper king Zant or just warped via Twili magic, one thing remains the same: shadow beasts are mindless, wandering engines of destruction. If left alone, shadow beasts will wander aimlessly around, however when they detect a sentient creature they will viciously attack it until it is killed and turned into one of them. Usually attacking in packs, one single shadow beast can quickly become a major problem if their slaughter gets out of hand, as an army of shadow beasts is nearly unstoppable. A shadow guard. Source Variant: Shadow Guard A shadow guard is a Twilight Guard that has been turned into a shadow beast, and often serves as Zant's personal guard.
