** Malus ''can'' shoot you, ''[[Fridge Logic|somehow]]'', '''through his armor,''' but only when you're around his feet, and only sometimes after you try something pointless like shooting his ankle (as the arrows will just bounce off). There will also be the occasssional run where he'll put up one ''hell'' of a fight for his life to throw you off.
* [[Best Boss Ever]]: Phalanx, pictured in the main page image, is practically the fan favorite. Other highlights include [[Blade Run|Gaius]], [[Big Badass Bird of Prey|Avion]], and [[Cool Horse|Phaedra]].
** And [[Final Boss|Malus]].
* [[Goddamned Boss]]: Considering that there are sixteen wildly variable boss battles to choose from, it's inevitable that some of them will end up as this. Occasionally, a Colossus is not tricky to defeat but it is a [[Marathon Boss]] and takes a long time to complete the strategy (Cenobia is a big offender here). The most notable ones, though, are:
** Pelagia. One of the trickier [[Puzzle Boss]] battles, since getting it to expose its weak point requires a complicated bit of planning and experiment. This is also while said boss is shooting balls of lightning at you every now and then, and you're swimming awkwardly through the water with it. Doesn't really help that it's [[Nightmare Fuel]]/[[Paranoia Fuel]] either.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: The game gives you only the barest hints of story and leaves the vast majority up to the player.
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: In September 2010, Team ICO announced that they ''would'' be remaking Shadow, along with [[Ico]], for [[
** [[Video Game Movies Suck]], right? Well, usually they do - until [[Chronicle|Josh Trank]] was announced to direct.
* [[Came for The X Stayed For The Y]]: Came for the colossus battles, while the plot, music, and [[Scenery Porn]] just made those battles even more amazing.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: It's tempting to say "Any time you take down a Colossus," but taking down the ones that require real skill (particularly those that require horse riding skills, like Dirge or Phalanx) are the real crowners.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Pretty much every song in the game, but in particular the one [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69io0J2wOBQ first heard when climbing Valus.]
** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqVIJFvUraw Avion's theme] is ''gorgeous''.
