Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Whenever anyone, or anything, stands between the light and a surface, you get a shadow. Except for these characters. It may, like a vampire's lack of reflection, indicate the character is not what he appears to be — down to and including that he's a copy of the real thing, or even just an illusion. It may show that someone stole his shadow. It may indicate that, Casting a Shadow, he has animated his into a Living Shadow, and it's elsewhere, or even that he's a Living Shadow himself. But it definitely indicates something uncanny's going on. Does not, of course, include those where the medium or artwork ensures that all characters and objects have no shadows. Don't ask what's supposed to happen if you look at a bright light source with these guys blocking it—nobody knows! A Sub-Trope of The Shadow Knows, more cryptic than the usual ones, where the shape gives a clue what the issue is. (Unusual shadows belong there, along with the inversion where an invisible character casts a shadow; this covers only a total lack.)

In A Night in the Lonesome October, Cheeter the squirrel has no shadow, because his master Owen nailed it to a wall in a druidic ritual when he made Cheeter into his Familiar. After Owen is murdered, Cheeter asks Snuff and Graymalk to extract the nails and re-attach his shadow so he can resume life as an ordinary squirrel. | |

In The Talmud (Yevamot 122a), there's a debate about whether or not demons have shadows. According to one opinion, they do, but their "shadows don't have shadows" (presumably referring to differences between umbra, penumbra and antumbra). | |

In Paranoia Agent episode "Happy Family Planning" 3 people make multiple attempts at suicide through out the episode. At the end they realize that they don't have shadows and that one of their suicide attempts was successful. This is foreshadowed when they watch a man throw himself in front of a train, only to stagger away seemingly unharmed... but without a shadow. | |

Final Fantasy XIV: The Ascians' name literally means "without shadow", and they're supposed to be an example of this trope in their natural form (i.e. when not in borrowed flesh). Whether or not they actually demonstrate the trope during the game has been inconsistent due to issues with the rendering engine; at least one developer has joked that any natural Ascian that seems to be casting a shadow is wearing clothes that are to blame, and any natural Ascian that isn't casting a shadow is wearing nothing body paint. | |

In short film Death of a Shadow, Nathan is a ghost, more or less, who goes around capturing the shadows of people at the moment of their death. He casts no shadow because his shadow was captured from him at the moment of his own death. When the creepy man who collects shadows lets Nathan return to the land of the living, his shadow is returned to him and he casts one again. | |

Dungeons & Dragons Dark Sun setting supplement Monstrous Compendium Appendix II - Terrors Beyond Tyr. The undead monster known as the T'liz casts no shadow. If a DM uses the random undead generation tables, an undead so created can have the weakness of not casting a shadow, which makes it easy to identify in the light. The Thinking Zombie Claktor Bloodfist has this quality, which it presumably received by rolling it on the random undead generation tables. |

In One Piece's Thriller Bark arc, Brook (a living skeleton) casts no shadow. It's not really meant to emphasize his supernatural-ness (although he's supernatural already). Instead, he lacks a shadow because someone with a power to control shadows stole it and used it to reanimate one of his zombie minions. Later on, there are other pirates stuck there who also cast no shadow for the same reason. Having no shadow is a bad thing for all of them because sunlight will vaporize them, requiring them to have to avoid it. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Robin all lose their shadows until Moria's defeat. | |

The focus of the third episode of Civil Protection is on a man who happens not to have a shadow. Mike and Dave theorize on why that might be, going from "he's a vampire!" to "bad light." When they try to trump up a charge to bring him in on, he suddenly has a shadow again. Mike doesn't care, ending up chasing him down the street so he can arrest the guy for jaywalking. | |

In The Dark Eye high-ranking priests of the Nameless God will sacrifice their own shadows (and souls) to their patron. This makes them a little easier to identify than the rank-and-file of the cult, but they tend to be powerful enough by that point to more than make up for it. Mages who mess up while performing certain spells or rituals, or people who managed to attract the wrong kind of extraplanar attention can also lose their shadows and will frequently be mistaken for Nameless cultists, usually with fatal consequences. | |

Halo: This is how you can tell that the opponent you're looking at in Halo: Reach and Halo 4 multiplayer is actually their Hologram armor ability — though it looks right and can even move to a limited degree, the illusion won't have a shadow under it. The other way to find out they're a Hologram is to shoot or bump into them, causing a Hologram Projection Imperfection, but at that point the Hologram's owner has probably started shooting at you already. | |

In IT the titular Eldritch Abomination casts no shadow when it is disguised as Pennywise, as Ben Hanscom notices when IT first appears to him on a frozen river with the sun directly behind it. Why IT casts no shadow is probably because it has no true physical form to cast a shadow from. | |

In the Chronicles of the Kencyrath, a person's shadow is cast by their soul. Therefore, neither Bane (who asked a priest to carry his soul so that it would not be tainted by his actions) nor Terribend (whose soul is in the possession of The Dragon) casts a shadow. | |

In the novella The Wonderful History of Peter Schlemihl (1814) by Adelbert von Chamisso, young and naive Peter Schlemihl happily sells his shadow to a mysterious old man in exchange for a bottomless purse. Only then does he discover that the lack of shadow makes him an outcast from human society. When he meets the strange old man again, the latter refuses to reverse the bargain, but offers to take Peter's soul in exchange for the shadow. | |

One of the major antagonists of How to Survive Camping is the aptly-named 'man with no shadow'. | |

This is one of the identifying signs of the Hollow Mekhet in Vampire: The Requiem, for whom it's a side effect of having part of their soul removed. They also can't be recorded and don't appear in mirrors, because their reflections are off doing other things. | |
