The Shadow Entity encountered by [[Heath]] and [[Noah Fulmer]] is aware of [[The Crushing Fist]], and has made a deal of sorts with [[Heath]] (the terms of which are currently unknown) to help various people working to fight the end of their universes. Other Shadow Entities have also been encountered by [[Jonathan Cortin]] dwelling within [[The Black]], these have displayed very hostile intentions through sadistic psychic torture, along with violent dismemberment of anyone caught in the open when [[The Black]] arrives, via proxy physical forms ([[Animal Shadow]]s).
The Shadow Entities are feared by [[Dream StealersStealer]]s. It is likely many varieties of Shadow Entity exist, each with widely varied traits and intentions. The Shadow Entities are connected to [[The Black]], [[The Ink]] and the [[Shadow Sphere]]s.
Traits:
Non-corporeal entity that exists on a non-physical plane, although connected to physical entities or [[Animal Shadow]]s. Apparently 'carnivorous', in that they consume or eat sentient minds or consciousnesses. While the Shadow Entity encountered by [[Heath]] presented an apparently hominid 'front', the overall organism is considerably larger and more complex, but shielded from being accurately described by its very nature. The Shadow Entities encountered by [[Jonathan Cortin]] are described as being colossal, with endless snake-like shadow bodies.
