Shadow Kargaroks are twilight-corrupted Kargaroks from [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They are black-gray, and red, have jagged tails, and have funnel-shaped heads that resemble twilight portals. They are first encountered during Wolf Link and Midna's trip across the roof of Hyrule Castle to see Princess Zelda, notably before ordinary Kargaroks are encountered in the game. Some fly too far away to notice Link, but others fly closer or are perched nearby. When a Shadow Kargarok notices Link, it will fly in front of him, occasionally attacking. They can be defeated by two of Wolf Link's bites. The only time normal Link can encounter them is at the Palace of Twilight.

A specific large Shadow Kargarok is used at Lake Hylia by a Shadow Bulblin, who calls it down to use it as a mount. Once the Shadow Bulblin is defeated, Midna wrangles and tames the Shadow Kargarok, allowing Link to use it to travel up Zora's River. It is later used for Plumm's minigame after it turns back into a normal Kargarok.
