The Shadow (Surface Biome)

Not to be confused with the painting, The Shadow, or the underworld biome, The Shadow (Biome). Above: a Hardmode player discovers the Shadow.

The Shadow is a surface Hardmode biome that generates inbetween the dungeon and the ocean when the Wall of Flesh is defeated. When the wall of flesh is defeated, along with the one that spawns the Hallow/Confection and Crimson/Corruption, the message "The ancient cultists' land has been unleashed..." will appear, and the Shadow will generate. The Shadow spreads extremely slowly, and after Plantera is defeated, it stops spreading.
