Sombra

Sombra (Japanese: 影神 Kage-shin lit. Shadow God) is a titan in Landscratch. It is the mechanical counterpart to Luz, and guardian of the Machina and Chimera.

Appearance
Sombra is a dark gray and red dragon styled after a Greek Hydra. It is bulky and has very few limbs, unlike Luz. It sports bright red headpieces and toes, and black back and chest plates. Sombra surrounds the Machina's part of the continent with a translucent red energy shield.

Story
After the events of Mother 3, the Dark Dragon split into two separate beings in response to the number of needles pulled by Lucas and the Masked Man. In the new world created by their divided wills, Sombra represents mechanical life, spawned by the three needles the Masked Man pulled. The two titans fought a tremendous battle after awakening, their squabbling carving out a new continent out of the endless sea. In the battle, one of Luz's heads was chewed off by Luz, and it was shown to be regrown during the events of Landscratch. The two titans eventually go dormant to restore their energy. This becomes the "creation of the world" story for the people in-game.

At the time of the game, Sombra is dormant until Claus reawakens it and controls it in an attempt to destroy Luz. However, Luz reawakens during the third act, when Beefy is released from his prison by Lucas. He uses the Javeleh to force Luz to cut off all of Sombra's heads at once. Claus is killed during this process, using his last moments to use Sombra's large body as a shield to allow the Machina to escape. After Sombra is destroyed, four of its heads can be found around the continent in each of the cardinal directions. The fifth head is presumably in the endless sea.
