The Shadow is a Covenant troop transport vehicle, similar to the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier|Warthog]]. It is heavily armored and very slow. However, it possesses a powerful defensive plasma turret above the cabin, which can rotate 360 degrees to provide covering fire. The vehicle itself can be easily outmaneuvered by smaller vehicles such as the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] or [[Ghost]].

The vehicle itself is almost always manned by a [[Sangheili]] driver and a gunner. Shadows encountered so far have been observed transporting one unmanned Ghost and therefore had a crew complement of only two. Infantry transport versions are typically able to carry approximately eight passengers, though the exact number varies depending on their species. Because the transport bay is exposed, the passengers can lend their own firepower to the Shadow's defense.
