Shadowpaw, also known as The Feline Phantom, is the initial villain-turned-anti-hero of the thirteenth Whisker Haven movie, Legend Of The Feline Phantom. He was originally foretold to be The Feline Phantom, a spirit of whom would wreck havoc among the pets Friday The 13th of whom appears during the pet's musical performance. He initially plans to cast Whisker Haven into eternal chaos, but has a change of heart after developing feelings for Dreamy. He is voiced by Alessandro Juliani.
Appearance
He very much resembles a kitten version of L from the anime Death Note. He is extremely skinny and ghostly in appearance with white fur, messy, scraggily black hair, and sunken-in black eyes with dark circles surrounding them, giving him a very skeletal-appearance in a very ghastly manner. He has a black nose and pawpads and wears a black cape, shoes, and top hat as The Feline Phantom. He is never seen smiling until the end of the film after The Palace Pets accept him.
Personality
Initially, his personality is very intimidating, threatening, cold, bitter, jealous, cruel, and cold-hearted, kidnapping Ms. Featherbon without any mercy and sabatoging the pets. However, the reasoning behind this is discovered as he was not shown love by even his parents due to being considered "ugly" and cast out by the world, leaving him to live underground, alone, frustrated, and bitter. However, after developing feelings towards Dreamy, he becomes warm towards her and far kinder. However, when she is threatened to be taken by Lightning, he becomes jealous and attacks Lightning, revealing an envious, obsessive, possesive side to his personality, as he claims that he wants Dreamy to have no other friends and have her all to himself. However, in the end he lets her go, and retreats to the tunnels. The Palace Pets see how he wasn't truly evil and offer him a second chance to live among the pets, but he rejects the offering as he believed he wouldn't fit in the world above anymore and retreats, never to be seen again.
