Neoshadow

The Neoshadow is a Heartless from all Kingdom Hearts games. It first appeared in the secret ending Kingdom Hearts, where Roxas is shown fighting off a swarm of Neoshadows in front of the Memories Skyscraper. They are not fightable in the first prints of Kingdom Hearts, but several of them do appear in the last room of End of the World in  Hearts: Final Mix]]. The Neoshadow later makes regular appearances in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II, appearing in Castle Oblivion during Chain of Memories and nearly all worlds in Kingdom Hearts II. The Neoshadow is more human-like in its body structure. It is stronger and faster than its lesser counterpart, and it is more strategic in combat. In Final Mix, the Neoshadows are among the most difficult common enemy, working together as a team to defeat Sora. In Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II, they are less rare and dangerous but are still more difficult to defeat than regular Shadows. Interestingly, Neoshadows die differently when they are killed than Shadows do. When Sora kills a regular Shadow, it vanishes into thin air and releases the heart it contains. However, when Sora kills a Neoshadow, it turns into a dark liquid and disappears after a moment, but it doesn't release a heart. They seem to be the heartless counterpart of a Dusk nobody.

A Neoshadow is one step up from a Shadow and one step down from a Gigant Shadow.

There have been scans showing a larger version of the Neoshadow that will be appearing in Halloween Town in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
