For the undead monster, see Shadow.

The Shadow Plane is a Transitive Plane. It is a plane in between darkness and light, always in a state of dusk.

In Planescape the Shadow Plane was only a Demiplane, speculated by some as being a sort of Quasielemental plane between Positive+Energy+Plane and Negative+Energy+Plane.

When D&D 3rd edition was released the Shadow Plane was transformed into a full-fledged Transitive Plane that connected different cosmologies with one another.

Denizens of the Plane of Shadow include:
