Zheitua is the main enemy faction in Operation Indigo.
Description[]
They serve as the show's primary antagonist faction.
They are literal shadows, so they do not need weaponry. Nonetheless they can still choose to use weapons if they want to. As supernatural beings, they also do not need armor or transport, as they are incredibly resilient and have the ability to fly and disappear.
The leader of the Zheitua is Uzveld Dlevzu, the ruler of Deliwu. Because of their past being so far unexplored, it is unknown how long they have been the ruler.
When they are shot at with the M2033 Zheitua, they emit indigo smoke particles. When they "die", they disappear in a puff of indigo smoke.
In Supply Run, presences are revealed to be a more dangerous version of the normal Zheitua.
In Hard to Forget, the presences are revealed to be harmless once forgotten.
In the Insufferable Incidents in the Inclined Institution segment Dress Best Not Caught, they are shown to be unable to enter a non-living host.
