Vesper Shadowbeast

ALL References WIP

OFFICIAL NAME: Vesper, (Former) Guardian and Servant of the Twilight Princess, Midna

ALIAS(ES): Vesper, Shadowbeast, Twili

RACE: Cursed Twili

SUB-RACE: Twilight Wolfos

CURSE: Appearing in his normal form in dim lighting and in the shadows, he his forced into his Shadowbeast form upon entering sources of bright light, including sunlight. In this form, his animal instincts wrest some of his control from him, but he is still in there, his sentience and personality still peaking through the fierce, feral exterior of the Twilight Wolfos.

Twili
"The Twili descended from a tribe of sorcerers known only as the Interlopers, who attempted to seize control of the Sacred Realm after the creation of the Triforce. However, their efforts failed, and they were seized by the three Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore. With the aid of the Light Spirits, the Interlopers were banished to a land known as the Twilight Realm. Over a long period of time, because of the vastly different environment within the Twilight Realm, the interlopers evolved from their original forms to a unique, black and white, gentle-looking race, namely the Twili. Eventually, they abandoned their plans to rule the Sacred Realm and Hyrule and became peacefully adapted to their new lifestyle in the Twilight Realm. Ganondorf, who was going to face execution, regained his strength from the anguish and hatred of the Twili (despite supposedly losing such feelings after their banishment) upon his execution.

At one point in their history, Ganondorf was banished to the Twilight Realm. and he met a young servant of the Twili Royal Family and nominee for King, Zant. Zant, believing Ganondorf to be a god, was granted exceptional magical powers and used these to usurp the throne of Midna, who was chosen as Twilight Ruler over him, and declared himself king. Firmly in command, he transformed Midna into an imp-like creature and his fellow Twili into Shadow Beasts, and, planning to engulf the entire land in Twilight, launched an invasion of the peaceful land of Hyrule.

Eventually, Link, the hero, and Midna, the former Princess of Twilight whom Zant betrayed, restore the Mirror of Twilight and enter the Twilight Realm. They restore the Twili to their original forms and defeat Zant, who vows to return as long as his master, Ganondorf, lives. Link and Midna defeat Ganondorf, and Midna is returned to her original state. As she travels back to the Twilight Realm, she destroys the Mirror of Twilight, sealing the only entrance between Hyrule and her homeland forever."

Twilight Wolfos
"Twilight Wolfos are a race of wolf-like Shadow Beasts that serve the Twilight Princess, Midna in Hyrule Warriors & Hyrule Warriors Legends. They resemble a cross between a Wolfos, Wolf Link, and a Shadow Beast and apparently originate from the Twilight Realm. They are used by Midna as part of her default Shackle moveset as both a riding mount and summons during certain combos. They can enter and exist the battlefield through Twilight Portals Midna creates. They also appear during one of Twili Midna's combo attacks as part of her Mirror moveset though they are much larger. A single Twilight Wolfos appears in Midna's battle intro and victory cutscenes as well as Twili Midna's victory cutscene.

Dark Midna has her own Dark shadowy variant. In Hyrule Warriors Legends, these Dark Twilight Wolfos are manifestations of out of control Dark Twilight magic like Dark Twili Midna and Dark Zant."
