My personal take on a Stardroid version of Shadow :)

Details and Notes Below cut:

Here's the full design page I had here don't mind my silly little notes :)

My interp of Shadow is that part of his personal alien biology is that he's poisonous and venomous already as is. Shadow Blade is a lethal weapon because it is coated with an extraterrestrial numbing/paralyzing toxin.

MOST of the Stardroids are kinda.... animal-esque... so I went with snakes for Shadow. I KNOW Snake Man is right there, but in my mind's eye, Snake is the equivalent of a Ball Python while Shadow is like a Black Mamba.

I HC that Kuiper Droids and Stardroids are the same species of alien being, but Stardroids are simply Exalted or Ascended, in a sense. Including physical transformations and all. When Shadow Man becomes fully Stardroid, others refer to him with his new given name, "Eris". (named specifically after the Dwarf Planet in our solar system.... which was also named after the greek goddess)

My idea behind Shadow embracing his "alien" side and aiming to become a Stardroid is that he does this in order to save someone dear to him, in the far future.
