Shadow Bug: Difference between revisions

'''Shadow Bug'''s are the small, glowing, violet spheres that the members of the [[Subspace Army]] are made of. They are apparently embodiments of a primordial substance. Shadow Bugs were created by extracting a mysterious substance from [[Mr. Game & Watch]], leading [[Tabuu]] to have him captured to become the source of the Subspace Army's soldiers. It's hypothesized that Shadow Bugs create the props  that Mr. Game & Watch uses in all his attacks, unlike other characters who seem to pull objects from [[Wikipedia:Hammerspace|Hammerspace]].  

They first appeared in a Super Smash bros. Dojo update called "This World", which introduced the main plot of the Subspace Emissary. They were being dropped down from the Halberd and seen being surrounded by a single [[Primid]]

Shadow Bugs are capable of copying a character's trophy and assuming his/her appearance, but are also capable of altering certain qualities such as size, as seen in the fight with the giant Diddy Kong. A copy of a character created by Shadow Bugs will have a purple tinge, be surrounded by a smoky shadow aura, and posess glowing yellow eyes. Bowser himself had a platoon of Shadow Bugs which he ordered to serve as a clone of himself, both to act as a decoy and a second-in-command.
