History

Tails Gets Trolled

Shadow was originally a "freak experiment" created by Eggman to battle Sonic. He fights Sonic during his quest to collect the Chaos Emeralds. At the end of their battle, Sonic spares Shadow, giving him a Chaos Emerald in hopes that it will help him find peace. Years later, Shadow reunites with Sonic and explains that without the Emerald, he would have died. The two become close friends after this incident.

Presumably, sometime in between being spared by Sonic, Shadow joins the Trolls and becomes affiliated with Kario. He eventually leaves after seeing how disgusting trolls truly are, and spends most of his time with Sonic and friends.

Shadow is first seen with Sonic when Tails comes to them after being trolled. When Sonic agrees to help Tails stop the trolls with kindness, he speaks out and claims that peace will not work. Shadow is proven right when the two return unsuccessful. As an angry Sonic leaves to have sex with his girlfriend, Shadow agrees to help Tails learn how to defeat a troll. He, Tails, and Knuckles then leave to confront the pair that trolled Tails.

The group meets up with Butter Tits and The Dick Taker. After a brief exchange of insults, Shadow moves to physically attack the two and murders them, stating that "they cant troll you if there dead". The trio then proceed to bury the two trolls before turning in for the night.

The next day, Shadow is confronted by Pori, who warns him that the trolls are onto him. The two point weapons at each other before their standoff is interrupted by Mario and Pori escapes. Mario explains that he is looking for the one who trolled Toad. Shadow convinces Mario that he is not the one who trolled Toad, and Mario leaves. Shortly afterwards, Sonic confronts Shadow over killing the trolls who trolled Tails. The two get into an brief argument before Pori returns with a pack of trolls. Sonic attempts to reason with them before he falls to his inner darkness, and the two hedgehogs then proceed to kill the group of trolls (except for Pori, who escapes once again).

After the battle Sonic demands to know why the trolls are after them, and Shadow explains what Pori had told him before heading off to sleep once more.

Some time later, Shadow is awoken by Silver, who wants assistance after being trolled by Alex. Shadow agrees to help and calls some friends, leading to the formation of the original Troll Slaiyers.

Troll Slaiying and Plans

The Troll Slaiyers create a plan to stage a fake Justen Beaver concert in order to lure the trolls into one area to kill by blowing up the stadium. After receiving funds and supplies from Coyote as thanks for hunting the Road Runner, Shadow and friends build the fake concert stadium to put their plan into motion.

Things do not go according to plan when the trolls reveal that they have taken Daffy hostage, and that Luigi has been working as a mole to spy on the group. Mario and Luigi do battle, but only for Shadow to interrupt by shooting the hostage (as well as Bugs, who destroys the remote used to blow the stadium up) before Luigi can finish Mario off. Shadow and Alex get into a short battle before reinforcements arrive and the group is forced to retreat. (Silver and Rob leave the group off-screen).

Eventually a badly wounded Vector makes his way to the Troll Slaiyers following the battle between Sonic and the Troll King. Vector tells Shadow about Sonic's demise and warns him that he's next. Mario also reveals that both he and Luigi were merely using the Troll Slaiyers as disposable items in their quest to defeat the trolls themselves. Enraged, Shadow, joined by Bowser, attacks Mario, but they are unable to capture him. As Mario escapes, Shadow swears that he will destroy Mario.

Shadow and his now diminished band of Troll Slaiyers begin to brainstorm ways to defeat Mario. They are joined by Knuckles (who temporarily team kills Teemo using his canan plan). The group makes little progress in finding a way to kill Mario and the trolls. During some training, Shadow grows violent, injuring the Hulk and punching Knuckles in the face. His anger reaches a peak, leading to the hedgehog nuking a town of innocents to let off his anger. Shadow is left shaken over what he has done once Knuckles explains the situation. Knuckles leaves the group soon after.

Later, Shadow returns to the group, who are still trying to create another plan. He explains that he has already thought of one and explains it to Hulk, Bowser, and Vector, who are left speechless upon hearing this genius plan. Shadow then introduces three members of the Kong family (Donkey Kong, Tiny Kong, and Chunky Kong) as well as a random guy. A bounty hunter is also paid to join the group later. In Chapter 15, Teemo rejoins the group after re-spawning and the Troll Slaiyers are reformed once more.

Real Life Origins

Shadow the Hedgehog originally debuted in Sonic Adventure 2 as a rival character to Sonic. He is known as the "Ultimate Lifeform", and was created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik with assistance from the alien Black Doom.

Over the course of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, he soon becomes (somewhat) of an ally to the main cast.

Differences

In all incarnations excluding Sonic Boom, Shadow was created by Ivo Robotnik's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik with the help of Black Doom. In TGT, there are no mentions of Gerald Robotnik or Black Doom. Instead, it is stated that Shadow was a "Freak experiment" by Eggman, with no mentions of his origins or his canon creators. Another difference is the fact that Shadow in TGT, unlike his original counterpart, is a complete psychopath that shows no remorse for anyone or anything. In all official versions, though Shadow can be quite cold, he was always capable of feeling for others (Such was the case for his childhood friend, Maria Robotnik). There are also no mentions of him or Rogue working for G.U.N. (Guardian Units of Nations), let alone G.U.N. or the United Federation existing within TGT.
