* Usually shadows are used to influence or control the player in someway. [[Knappnålshuvudet]] is a good example of a shadow-heavy LARP, where shadows in the form of ''guardian angels'' were used.
* A variant of shadows called Phantom players was used in [[The Monitor Celestra]]. The phantoms stayed invisible unless they initiated player contact by touching a player during the game.
* Another variant of Shadow was used at [[Simbelmyne|Simbelmynë]], where non-diegetic (and, hence, invisible) shadows could whisper suggestions, clues or "inner monologues" (as if the characters were having those inner monologue themselves), initiate "dialogues" when the players were in a "dream state" and even physically steer or touch them, which they the players would take as their subconscious thoughts and actions or their "base natures" winning out over their "honor".
