Source Twisted beings under the thumb of the usurper king Zant or just warped via Twili magic, one thing remains the same: Shadow Beasts are mindless, wandering engines of destruction. If left alone, Shadow Beasts will wander aimlessly around, however when they detect a sentient creature they will viciously attack it until it is killed and turned into one of them. Usually attacking in packs, one single Shadow Beast can quickly become a major problem if their slaughter gets out of hand, as an army of Shadow Beasts is nearly unstoppable. Source
