Shadow the Penguin (Born Ryan the Penguin) was once normal (how cliche...) but was mutated by the darkest shadows. It all started when he fought in the Great Darktonian Pie War. (His war record as been since erased.) When something or someone knocked him out, it'll never be known for sure, but whatever it was, it took him to a tall, flat mountain top and locked him in a machine. The creature then added some "dark shadowy matter" into the machine, and turned it on, and bright neon-green rays struck Ryan. The villain just laughed and went away, while Ryan was being electrocuted. He did not die, but was now like the shadows, swift and agile. Oh and dark, too. Not knowing where to go, Ryan went to the darkest place in the country, The Darktonian Realm. He was able to reach Darktan's throne roo
