The Shadow Knows	comment	Deception is a common tool of the trade, used by both villains and sometimes heroes. Shapeshifting and Invisibility are two common ways to disguise one's true nature or intentions. But no form of disguise is completely, 100% foolproof. If you know what to look for, you can find the truth out. And sometimes, the truth is right behind you. Everything in the light casts a shadow... And that's the nature of this trope. As a warning to the viewer (or even other characters), a character casts a shadow that hints at their true form or nature. A common variation with characters who can make fake copies or clones of themselves or another person/object will have the illusory copies cast no shadow at all to signify that they aren't actually real. Conversely, sometimes invisible stuff still casts a shadow. This can be Hand Waved when the "invisibility" is actually an illusion rather than actual "not stopping light". Compare Living Shadow, which occasionally overlaps this trope; and The Mirror Shows Your True Self which is the same with reflections. Sub-Trope of Glamour Failure, Super-Trope of Casts No Shadow. This trope is named after the catchphrase of The Shadow.

The Shadow Knows / int_10ddd3d5	comment	In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Midna can be seen still on Wolf!Link's back in his shadow, even when she's not there. Also in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, when Link uses the Invisibility Cloak, his shadow is still visible. And then there's the Aganihm lookalike that appeared as a miniboss in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. Three of him appeared at once, but when you lit the torches in the middle of the room only one cast a shadow, and guess which the only vulnerable one was? The attacks from the fakes still hurt though... Perhaps played with in the final boss of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The enemy appears only as a shadow, which imitates all the things you'd expect Link to be scared of (several weak enemies, Agahnim, Ganon, and eventually this weird eyeball spiky wrecking thingy)

The page prominently features the magical girl Heartful Punch in the foreground, while the shadow of a different girl holding a spear can be seen against the background. This girl turns out to be Heartful Punch's mother, the former magical girl Moonlight Spear, whom this chapter reveals was killed in a monster attack years ago and transferred her power as a magical girl to her daughter.

When he's revealed as Mastermind, we even get an author's note telling you to go back and look at the shadow in one scene (admit it - you didn't notice either.) It was brilliant at the time, though it loses something by this point due to Late-Arrival Spoiler: it's hard to be an X-Men fan and have missed learning Mastermind's real name, which he went by for the first time in this story pre-reveal.

The Shadow Knows / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman's cape and cowl are frequently visible in Bruce Wayne's shadow—the idea being that, unlike, say, Superman and Spider-Man, the true identity is the superhero, not the civilian. Speaking of Batman, this trope is used in the Elseworlds one-shot The Batman of Arkham, where Bruce Wayne ran Arkham Asylum to cure the insane criminals he turns in as Batman during the early 1900's. Jonathan Crane appears as a secondary antagonist, and while he never becomes the Scarecrow, his shadow is shaped like one. A dual example occurs early in the Batman/Hulk crossover story, in which the reader sees both Bruce's shadows from outside a window while the two are conversing. Take a guess what they look like.

Using this principle, Moria can invert it with his Shadow Revolution technique, where he warps the shadow so that it's the physical body that must now conform with the shadow. It is theorized that this is also the reason why people who had their shadow stolen disintegrates in sunlight - as they cast no shadow when shone by a natural light, then they can't exist.

The Shadow Knows / int_d7c4626a	comment	The Sandman (1989) gives this quality to all of the Endless, one way or another: Desire smells almost subliminally of summer peaches, and casts two shadows: one black and sharp-edged, the other translucent and forever wavering, like heat haze. While Despair has no odour, her shadow smells musky, and pungent, like the skin of a snake. Destiny smells of dust, and the libraries of night. He leaves no footprints. He Casts No Shadow. Delirium's appearance is the most variable of all the Endless, who, at best, are ideas cloaked in the semblance of flesh. Her shadow's shape and outline has no relationship to that of any body she wears, and is tangible, like old velvet. Dream casts a human shadow, when it occurs to him to do so.

Needless to say, it freaks other people out and a lot of corporate R&D departments would like to get their hands on them. Especially since reality warping in their proximity agitates the shadow and the Followed themselves can dampen the damage.
