Concept art of Tai Lung and the Lang Shadow Army by Nicolas Marlet and Raymond Zibach
The Lang Shadow Army is an army originally composed of wolves, but were later joined by two ox bandits and the remnants of Great Gorilla's gang. They originally served Tai Lung, but after he was imprisoned, they went into hiding. However, once they heard that Tai Lung escaped, they returned to him and did as he commanded.
History
In Kung Fu Panda: The Game
Master Shifu fighting one of the army's wolf archers
The Lang Shadow Army was originally led by Tai Lung, but they went into hiding when Tai Lung was imprisoned. However, they went back to their leader after he escaped.
They guarded the captured Furious Five after Tai Lung defeated them, but Master Shifu fought his way through the battalion there and freed his students.
Later, Po, having gotten lost returning to the Jade Palace, stumbled upon a small group of them led by the Wu Sisters and later still battled with the group guarding Tai Lung's Training Grounds, after an encounter with Tai Lung himself. Following Tai Lung's lead, the Lang Shadow Army spearheaded the attack on the Valley of Peace, bombarding the village from the river and terrorizing the citizens. As Po and Master Monkey battled the army, Shifu delayed Tai Lung and a group of wolves in the Jade Palace. As Po fought with Tai Lung, many of Tai Lung's soldiers stepped in to help him, but even with their aid, Tai Lung couldn't beat the Dragon Warrior. The army retreated after Tai Lung's defeat.
It is currently unknown what the remaining soldiers are doing now that they're without a leader.
Personality
The wolves of the Lang Shadow Army were often a variety of sneaky, deadly, silent, and loud.
Fighting Style
Many of the army's members were skilled in using hook swords, staffs, and bows. Some were also able to vanish in a puff of smoke (these were slasher wolves) and appear a short distance away. But despite how fairly skilled and dangerous fighters they were, none were quite a match for Po, Shifu, or the Furious Five.
Types
- Wolf Soldier — These appear in Kung Fu Panda: The Game and are one of the main ranks that take up most of the force in the Shadow Lang army.
- Wolf Archers — Regular wolf soldiers, but armed with bows and arrows.
- Wolf Slashers — These ninja wolves appeared in the first Kung Fu Panda game. They seem to be a secondary to Tai Lung, but appear in a lot in levels. They are a playable character option in multiplayer.
- Wolf "Samurai" — These wolves are much stronger and bigger, but slower than the wolf soldier types. They tend to attack in pairs and serve as the elite force of the Lang Shadow Army.
