'''Eshowdow''' is a fictional god in the ] campaign setting for the ] fantasy ].

The dark god Eshowdow was born out of a fragment of the consciousness and being of ] when he created the myriad nature spirits of Chult from such pieces of himself. His name came from the Eshowe tribe, who freed the entity they called the Shadow Giant, hoping to destroy the city of Mezro. When the Shadow Giant was repelled from the city by the ], he turned on his summoners, nearly wiping them out. Thus, the victorious Tabaxi named him Eshowdow, "the Shadow of the Eshowe".

Despite his fury at the defeat, and his realization that the elder god was incapable of perceiving him, as Eshowdow was, in essence, Ubtao's shadow, he remained in the shadows, brooding and plotting against the Chultans. To mortals, Eshowdow appeared as a huge, roughly humanoid shadow with taloned hands.

Since then, Eshowdow was killed and his guise taken up by the dark goddess ] in uncertain circumstances.<ref name="ROF">{{cite book |last=Boyd |first=Eric L. |coauthors=Matt Forbeck, and James Jacobs |title=Races of Faerûn |year=2003 |publisher=Wizards of the Coast |id=ISBN 0-7869-2875-1}}</ref>
