Shadow Realm
Black Cats and Cursed Ravens greet your first Dragon Apple; Cursed Owls, Cursed Crows, Shadow Wolves and Shadow Demons live further in. The rarest Shadow Realm animal is the Nightmare – a horned black horse. A plain Black Cat at about 500 Sx/s is already worth more than a Huge Phoenix roll from the previous zone.

What Shadow Realm looks like
Dark violet fog and dead trees.
Reaching Shadow Realm is a big jump: the very first animal you usually catch here, the Black Cat ($500Sx/s), already earns about 2500x a plain Phoenix, the best animal of Mythical Paradise.

Tips for Shadow Realm
- The Glow Shroom (Tier 13) is the bait that makes Shadow Realm catches consistent.
- Hunting the Nightmare: land on the far edge of Shadow Realm with your best food and save lucky throws for it. If you are already past Shadow Realm, turn throw strength down with the gear icon.
- Move on once your throws reach Harvest Fields (3,900 – 4,900 power) – even its commonest animal beats almost everything here.
