A family of shadows that all have a special ability: being able to control ones weaker than themselves. (Also royal shadows are goopy shadows like Bendy or Nightmare!Sans while normal shadowlings are more fire-like)

Monarchy

The oldest shadow in the family is the king unless the oldest retires

Any royal shadows can control any shadow that disagrees with them, resulting in almost no disagreements.

The laws are often changed a lot based on the current king, the only thing that stays the same is that all shadows must obey the royal family.

Only Shadowlings are allowed in The Shadow Dimension, any intruders are either killed or turned into shadows.

The oldest Shadowling in the royal family is the king/queen. Commonly king/queens are challenged by their siblings or offspring and killed.

Criminals are usually killed before they do anything due to the royal family's ability to read minds of other shadows.

Many Shadowlings do not like the absolute rule that the royal family has but the ones who try to do anything are killed

A large group of highly trained Shadowlings are the army, although in serious wars and battles the current king may control normal Shadowlings to attack.

There isn't really a space in The Shadow Dimension

The Shadowling royal line has been around as long as the Shadowlings themselves.

They do not have a flag.
