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 Stealer]]s. While many varieties of Shadow Entity exist, each with widely varied traits and intentions, they have been described as being utter servants of hunger [[The Hunger]] by the [[Brownshirt]]s, and merely individual representations of that hungerit. The Shadow Entities are connected to [[The Black]], (their plane of existence) and [[The Ink]] and , a darkness generated by the [[Shadow Sphere]]s, which themselves are a projection of the plane of existence of [[The Hunger]].
Traits:
Non-corporeal entity that exists on a non-physical plane, although connected to physical entities or in the form of [[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. The [[Brownshirt]]s have described the Shadow Entities as independent representations of hunger [[The Hunger]] itself, but entirely servile to it.
