Shadow Monsters

This article is about a/an list of monsters in Ressha Sentai ToQger.

The Shadow Monsters (シャドー怪人, Shadō Kaijin) are steampunk-like monsters that appear to be themed after inanimate objects which serve under the Shadow Line, leading the Kuros into battle against the ToQgers. Their job is to take over regions of Japan to expand the Shadow Line's borders, collecting negative emotions and suffering, and stealing Imagination energy to help bring their head boss, the Darkness Emperor, to Earth so they can take over.

Notes

All the Shadow Monsters are aiming to build a Dark Station, with the name of the station being a portmanteau between their motif and a location in Japan.
The ability to grow directly after their first destruction is similar to the two lives system the Ayakashi from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger imploy, with their destruction on their second death being their final life..
