Shadow Fake-Out

Alternate names for this UnTrash are Impossible Shadow, Wrong Shadow, and Misleading Shadow.

Any shadow that is cast in a shape different from the object that casts it. This UnTrash is necessary to play other UnTrashes such as Fear Fake-Out, Separate Shadow, and Suspicions Intensify (rarely), especially in the case of the former. In fact, most occasions of Shadow Fake-Out being played are due to the characters needing to be scared of an incoming threat that looms around the corner only for it to turn out to be something harmless with a similar form from the shadow they saw first. In worse cases, the harmless thing doesn't resemble the shadow it cast at all, being a purer form of Fear Fake-Out just to Flip The Bird at the ones it frightened. Shadow Fake-Outs can also be seen during Series of Misunderstandings and plots to lower a character's distrust of another character over time by tricking them into believing that the treat they see is no real harm and that they're overly suspicious of nothing for no reason.
