The Shadows are a group of characters in the Splatoon manga that have the opposite personality of their original.
General Description
Shadows have the same abilities as their originals, with the same gear and same weapon, but with exact opposite personalities. They are mostly grayscale in color, but they have a yellow lightning mark on their foreheads and a yellow gradient in their eyes. They are created in the Battle Tower by the energy that comes from their originals participating in Turf Wars, while they watch.
Shadow Team Blue
The Shadow Team Blue is made up of Shadow Goggles, Shadow Specs, Shadow Headphones, and Shadow Bobble Hat.

S. Goggles is smart while Goggles is an idiot. S. Goggles is also very confident and acts as the leader of the Shadows. S. Specs (and clones) is a complete idiot while Specs is smart, S. Headphones is mean while Headphones is nice, and S. Bobble Hat is always mad (but still has a smile) while Bobble Hat is always happy.
