I'd say Dark Shadow is it's own type. I think this because, as this other fandom user over ^ this one noted, it's like a soldier, it will take orders but has a mind of it's own. We haven't even seen another quirk have a 'minion' with it's own mind (aside from Earth Flow but I'm talking about having that factor as the main ability, I'm also excluding Brainwashing because that's very different). I'd say it's the same as having a shadow, if that shadow could have it's own mind. It's stuck to you, and you can't get rid of it, you are one in the same, it's just there.
