Shadow Demons are a type of demons known for their shadowy forms and their ability to phase-shift.
History[]
Main Article: Parker Caine
In "Out of Scythe", a Shadow Demon attacked a satyr named Leon and stole his shard of the Scythe of Tartarus, and later went after a Taweret named Sela. The Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones lured it to their house and attempted to destroy it, but it thwarted them and escaped after losing the reformed scythe to a woman named Jada Shields. This Shadow Demon turned out to be Parker Caine, Maggie Vera's boyfriend.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Active Powers
- Shadow Form: The power to turn one's body into a mass of shadows. A Shadow Demon's shadowy form grants them several additional abilities.
- Phase-Shifting: All Shadow Demons are said to possess this ability; though their entry in the Book of Shadows describes the power as phase-shifting and specifies that it involves "Rearranging the atoms of any object or person they touch." While in shadow form, Shadow Demons are able to remain solid or become intangible at will, passing through solid objects. They can also phase other solid objects and beings, making them intangible as well.
- Supernatural Stealth: Their shadow form obscures their identities when activated and also cancels out the noise of their movements so that they remain undetectable.
- Light Negation: While in shadow form, these demons seem able to negate the light in an area, such as candlelights. This ability seems to work on spells as well since Parker was able to temporarily stop the Candlelight Enchantment as he walked by several candles.
- Electromagnetic Interference: Shadow Demons also have the ability to interfere with electromagnetic energies, which allows them to cause power outages and blackouts. Besides causing blackouts, Parker was also shown using it to disable alarm and surveillance systems.
- Supernatural Strength: Shadow Demons have enhanced physical strength sufficient to hurl an adult man across a room. Parker was able to crush the Amulet of Archangels with his hand.
- Passive Powers
- Immunity: These beings are immune to the effects of pixie dust. However, under the effect of his mother's treatments to suppress his demon half, Parker temporarily became vulnerable to pixie dust.
- Resistance: They can't be harm by any magical or physical attacks and their only weakness is the Light of Theia.
Weaknesses[]
- Light of Theia: This is the only way to vanquish a Shadow Demon.

Trivia[]
- In the original series, the Shadow Demon was a unique demon that served as a messenger first between the Triad and Cole Turner and then between the Source of All Evil and his servant, Sykes. It's also one of the few demons whose final fate was never shown, since after its last appearance no one mentions it or is showed its vanquishing.
- Strangely enough, the half-demon Parker Caine was a demon of this type, but his demon parent Alastor was not. One possible explanation is that Alastor had ancestors of this type, and Parker inherited this typology from them. However, it is also possible that, like witches, demons might have individual powers that do not all stem from their bloodlines, and thus, like witches, Parker may be categorized by his shadow-related powers, similarly to how "empaths" and "time witches" are called such because of their respective powers.
