About

Doom Squid Shadow or Doom Power "Morph" Shadow refers to a series of memes, fan art and fan-made content depicting the character Shadow the Hedgehog after using Doom Morph, a Doom Power from the video game Sonic x Shadow Generations that allows him to morph into a squid-like creature. The power was revealed in late August 2024 and became the subject of fan content over the following days.

Origin

On August 20th, 2024, a trailer for Sonic x Shadow Generations was released on the Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube[1] channel and X[2] page, garnering over 448,000 views on the former and 31,000 likes on the latter in a day (shown below). The trailer showcases Shadow's "Doom Powers," including "Doom Morph," which allows him to fully transform into a black, squid-like creature.

Shadow's Doom Morph form was compared to a squid shortly after the release of the trailer. For example, on that day, X[3] user @FrackDeals posted a screenshot from the trailer, writing, "Shadow the Hedgehog can turn into a freaking DOOM SQUID this is the best day of my life 😭🖤❤️," garnering over 3,100 likes in a day (shown below).
