| abstract | - The Shadow Creatures (in Japanese: 影 Kage, lit. "shadow") are shadowy and ghostly entities who appeared in both the videogame Ico, as enemies to be defeated, and its prequel Shadow of the Colossus, as spiritual entities representing something more. Their inherent connection between the two games is not obvious, but is still present. In Shadow of the Colossus they represent lesser foes, shadowed by the idols and their related colossi. In Ico, they are vicious enemies bent on taking back Yorda for their Queen at the Castle. While their true nature is hidden, they play an important role in understanding both games.
