1. Shadow Prime, Father of the Abattoir: Black, no mon
2. Ekadrina Seanmazy: Black, a taiji
3. Gidula: Black, a comet natural
4. Dawshoo Yishohrann: Black on white, diagonal
5. Oschous Dee Karnataka: Scarlet, a black horse
6. Epris Gunjinshow: Green, a yellow lily
7. Manlius Metataxis: Sky Blue, a white dove
8. Pendragon Jones: Silver, a yellow mum

10. Big Jacques: White, a prussian blue trident
11. Domino Tight: Umber, a lyre

13. Geshler Padaborn: Sky blue over hunter's green
14. Little Jacques: Red swallowtail
15. Khembold Darling: Light blue, a yellow daffodil; Gidula's comet quartered
16. Eglay Portion: Tan, a rose natural; Gidula's comet quartered

Quartering another Shadow's mon means that one is subordinate to the other.
