-the shadows

A group of monsters who patrol the hospital, seeming to be the embodied self-destructive impulses of the characters. They have the ability to take the form of a mass of black tentacles or a colored outline of the character they're pursuing at the time. They also seem to have some control over the hospital itself, being able to create doors to surreal Black Bug Rooms which may or may not be the Shadows themselves.

  • Big Bads: As of yet, or at least the real one's Co-Dragons.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Percy's Shadow gets into his notes, which are also a representation of the out of character Records. He proceeds to vandalize those with nightmarish graffiti until Percy got the notes back.
  • Break Them by Talking: Their modus operandi.
  • Combat Tentacles
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Sam's Shadow turns out to be fairly nice when dealing with people not Sam, even showing Quin and Ava to where he is. He also explains that each Shadow is a representation of a person's repressed personality traits, which means they can represent positive aspects as well.
  • Hearing Voices: They're the voices.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: They have a tendency to stalk the characters in "black squiggle" form. They don't notice it, but the audience does.
  • Secret Test of Character: Their goal is to make their normal versions accept the personality traits they represent. This is not a bad thing.
  • Voice of the Legion: They speak with their respective character's color, in all lower case, on a black highlight.
