Shadow Bugs are the small, glowing, violet spheres of which the members of the Subspace Army are made. 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 Hammerspace.

They first appeared in a Smash Bros. DOJO!! update called "This World", which introduced the main plot of the Subspace Emissary. They were shown being dropped down from the Halberd, as well as surrounding a single Primid.
