The Shadow was the most dangerous creature from the Inkworld that was made up of many mystical creatures, such as trolls, fairies, and other creatures.

History[]

Fenoglio created The Shadow as Capricorn's pet hound in Inkheart. It was said that Capricorn used trolls to make it, and then killed those trolls. It was made of up of fire and ashes and had two sharp eyes but no face. Meggie Folchart was forced to read it out by Capricorn. Due to Fenoglio's modifying of the written words of the book, the Shadow was forced to remember all the lives of those it had killed and betrayed Capricorn by destroying him instead, soon followed by destroying himself.[1] The shadow was destroyed by, Meggie, as Fenogilo’s modification of the words had described the grief and agony of what the shadow consists of.

A sort of different version of the Shadow came along, summoned by Orpheus, someone with the ability to read characters out of books. It originally was summoned to follow Orpheus's commands, scare soldiers and ruin Mo and Dustfinger. It was, again, killed after holding Brianna captive and frightening many of our heroes.[2]
