In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', Twilit Messengers are not formally named at all in-game, simply being generically referred to by various phrases such as "shadow beings," "shadow beasts," and "black brutes." However, the official website calls them Shadow Beasts. They are created from Twili that have been transformed by Zant, though a line from [[Barnes]] indicates they may also be able to convert [[spirit]]s into more of them. They were used by Zant to storm [[Hyrule Castle]] and overwhelm its [[Hylian Soldier|soldiers]], forcing [[Princess Zelda]] to surrender to Zant and allow him to cover all of [[Hyrule]] in [[twilight]]. They also scout Hyrule in search of [[Midna]]. The first Twilit Messenger to directly appear pulls [[Link]] into the twilight-covered [[Faron Woods]]. It is then briefly incapacitated after Link's [[Triforce]] mark glows, but after Link turns into [[Wolf Link]] and passes out, the creature drags him to Hyrule Castle's [[lockup]].

Twilit Messengers can appear automatically on the field when in twilight and drop from red-marked [[portal]]s when outside it. Whenever fighting a Twilit Messenger or group of them, the area is surrounded by walls of twilight magic. They can be attacked in various ways and take a moderate amount of hits to fell. If only one of a group remains standing, it shrieks to revive the others. In order to get around this, he must defeat multiple at once, such as through a [[Spin Attack]] or through Midna's capture field ability as a wolf. When an encounter has been completed, they turn into twilight squares and form a cyan-marked portal in the sky. Link does not fight a Twilit Messenger until receiving the [[Ordon Sword]] and [[Ordon Shield]], where one ambushes him in his wolf form at [[Ordon Spring]]. A group battle occurs shortly thereafter in Faron Woods and specifically requires Midna's field attack to complete, acting as a tutorial for it. They continue appearing throughout the game, generally to create shortcuts through the portals upon defeat.

In the [[Palace of Twilight]], Twilit Messengers appear as normal enemies, with all but the first encounter unlinked to each other and without portals. Twili in the process of transforming can be seen outside and saved by placing the [[sol]]s back in place. Once Zant is defeated, no more Twilit Messengers appear.
