Dark Things are enemies in the Twin Shot Series, as well as in Nitrome Must Die.

Appearance
Dark Things appear as small black coloured creatures, with a pair of small arms and legs, along with two white eyes. Dark Things appear very small, no more than 60% the height of the Angels.

Twin Shot Series
Dark Things are the villains of the Twin Shot Series. All Dark Things are encountered armed or using a creature, or trying to defend themself. The basic Dark Thing, armed with nothing, is very agile, being able to move much faster than the Player, and usually alongside other unarmed Dark Things. Unarmed Dark Things jump around a lot, many times being difficult to hit and hard to avoid.

Dark Things will harm the player if they come in contact with them, the Dark Thing suffering no damage from making contact. Unarmed Dark Things cannot pick up weapons, as none exist, only using this simple attack for fighting the player. Unarmed Dark Things, however, can enter Clouds in Twin Shot 2, which were not present in the original Twin Shot.

Nitrome Must Die
Dark Things appear in Nitrome Must Die as enemies. Dark Things wearing helmets appear in two levels, both being the same, and the Purple Pig of the Rider Dark thing appears in one level in level set 81-90, rode by an Executive. Usual, unnamed Dark Things appear in a few level of Nitrome Must Die, the  frist level they appear in being a level with several small platforms and many Dark Things, similar to a level from Twin Shot. Dark Things behave as they did in the Twin Shot Series, being one of the few enemies in Nitrome Must Die to retain there behavior from the game they originated from.

Dark Things appear in groups, and are very agile, but not as agile as in the Twin Shot Series. They will follow a pattern in the levels they appear in, moving to one direction, reversing direction or dropping down, then repeating the entire process. Because of this, the player can lie in wait for the Dark Thing to come, making there attacks always to surely hit. Dark Things, like in the Twin Shot Series, have low health. They will also be harmed when falling on Spikes.
