Editing Shadow Walker

  |character=[[Mayor]], during the flashback sequence

'''Shadow Walkers''' are common [[Shadow]] enemies in ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' and ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]''. Shadow Walkers are the second-most abundant enemy in the game, second only to [[Baki]]. They are present in every level.

In addition to pre-existing in most levels, Shadow Walkers can also spawn infinitely from [[Shadow|Shadow Goo]] puddles of large enough volume. Shadow Goo puddles can spawn one Shadow Walker at a time. Another will not spawn from the same puddle unless the first Shadow Walker from the puddle is killed. Shadow Walkers will stop spawning if their source puddle is scrubbed away by the [[Creator]].

Shadow Walkers have three health points and can yield up to a total of three silver [[Rapo-Coins]]. The only exception to this is in the levels in which the effects of the [[Kaorin Bush|Kaorin Berries]] are active. Due to the [[Hero]]'s size increase in these levels, Shadow Walkers are killed in a single hit and thus only drop one coin. In ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)'', Shadow Walkers only have one health point and drop no coins upon defeat.

In ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', Shadow Walkers are tall beings composed entirely of Shadow. They are almost completely black, constantly emanate pieces of Shadow, and have more fluid movements compared to other non-Shadow enemies. They are anthropomorphic, standing upright and having two arms and legs. Except for two solid white eyes, they lack any defining facial features. Like many other Shadow enemies, Shadow Walkers dissolve into thin air when defeated.

In ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]'', Shadow Walkers are tall beings composed entirely of Shadow. They are almost completely black, with the only other color on their bodies being the whites of their eyes and mouth. They are anthropomorphic, standing upright and having two arms and legs. The shooter variant of the Walkers hold a completely black dart gun in their hand and use it to shoot at the Hero.

In ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', Shadow Walkers continuously walk along platforms or sections of land in which they are present. If they come across a ledge or a sudden rise they will pause for a moment before turning around and walking the other way. Unlike [[Baki]] and other enemies, Shadow Walkers will never willingly walk or fall off a platform. If they walk near or into the [[Hero]], Shadow Walkers will go through their "attacking" animation before inflicting damage on them. If hit, either directly by the Hero or indirectly using a weapon, Shadow Walkers will halt and play their "idle" animation for a short period of time before resuming movement.

In ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]'', there are two variants of Shadow Walkers. The "Jumper" variant of the Shadow Walkers will tend to only jump around in a predetermined space. They don't target the [[Hero]], and they don't react to any other enemies. The "Shooter" variant of the Shadow Walkers will stay in one place on the map, shooting blow darts at the Hero from a distance. When the Hero lands behind the Walker, it will disappear, leaving only its eyes and mouth visible. In this state, it is immune to attacks.

According to the [[Mayor]], long before the events of ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', [[Wilfre]] began to question why it was forbidden for [[Raposa]] to draw in the [[Book of Life]]. With this, he snuck into [[Creation Hall]] at night and stole the [[Book of Life]], bringing it back to his house. There, he drew inside the pages, but the creations he drew came out twisted and black, creating a batch of Shadow Walkers. After his scheme was discovered by the Mayor, Wilfre fled the [[Rapoville|village]]. It is implied that Shadow Walkers, and Shadow in general, spread around the world with his influence.

* Shadow Walkers must first go through their "attacking" motion before they are able to damage the [[Hero]].

** This is not applicable in situations where the Hero attempts to run through the enemy.

* In [[Drawn to Life]], Shadow Walkers rarely spawn outside of tainted Shadow areas.
