Fighting a Shadow: Difference between revisions

*** Actually it's her actual physical form, cursed into an implike shape. Trying to take her on is a slightly more literal interpretation of fighting the shadow, though, because she hides out in Link's shadow in the light world (when he's in the form of a wolf she even appears on his shadow's back even though there's no imp on his actual back to cast a shadow) because light is harmful to her, and in the Twilight Realm because she's ashamed to be seen by her people looking like an adorable little imp.

* The Reapers from ''[[Mass Effect]]'' seem to use this trope combined with [[People Puppets]] to fight targets planetside. This trope is played straight only really in the second game, however, as killing the supercharged Collector drones doesn't damage Harbinger at all. {{spoiler|With the Saren Husk, however...}}

** That's because {{spoiler|Harbinger is using a proxy - the Collector General - ostensibly to avoid what happened to Sovereign.}}

* If you kill the god Pluto in ''[[Phantasie]] II'', he comments on how that didn't accomplish much and he just has to get a new body. You do have his attention now, though. The same goes for killing other Gods like Zeus which oddly enough doesn't permanently annoy them outside of the initial battle.
