Yeah, Shade and Spirit are pet colours that I don't think were ever officially released, so only Patrick has them. I've heard rumours that one or two other users have the potion or whatever they were, though. I'm not really sure of the whole deal, I just know those two have been around on Res for longer than I have.
How did you find him though? I forget his name exactly, but I haven't seen him on Pat's profile in ages.
Here's the Spirit Zennie:

His name was Flare, but Patrick kind of left him to die a long time back.
There are no longer any immitation revival potions left in the game, since no other shade pets have appeared, I would assume that those were either claimed back or deleted.

I remember his name being some sort of Japanese like name that started with a T. I can probably dig it up. I believe my Rift account was named after him. I still wonder why Patrick never released that concept. It's a really cool one.

It's probably just extremely hard for artists to get it done quickly, especially with all the new pets. I'm guessing it's still being worked on.

It's more than that. These pets have been around for more than two years (my guess, pretty sure they've been around longer than I have on Res, which was late 09), long before Trance, many of the CS pets aside from Retired, Kir, and all that fun stuff.

I... don't think so. I think Pat just decided to tease us then drop the project (maybe the teasing wasn't intentional, but I think he did drop it). I really don't know. I really wish SOMEONE would tell us once and for all what the deal with them is.

Maybe I should put a suggestion in the forums?

His name was originally Flare, he died.
Patrick then brought him back with a different name since Flare was taken.
After which, he vanished again.

It wasn't to tease us since they also attempted a Shade Iluvu and Spirit Kayoki.
I think they just never got down to adding it into the game and stuff.
Perhaps they realised that it wasn't practical or didn't fit into the res theme well.

Or maybe the 'strange' message we got when we scanned will transform our creatu into spirit or shade creatures! D:! LE GASP!!!!

Sorry I couldn't resist XD Highly unlikely but I like to speculate sometimes.

Don't think they would be released,
I've had a few people commission me for Shade Pet Edits,
then they just overlay them on their profile and it looks like
they have a shade pet |D

The concept of shade and spirit pets are greatly debated amongst the staff and old users. My take is that it was an idea by Patrick - or possibly a test pet - that was either rejected or forgotten.
The lineart had to be greatly changed for the spirit and shade pets to be adapted - and who would want to do the same for over forty pets? Perhaps Patrick decided that it was too tiring for the artists, or that it was too similar and 'unnatural' to fit into Rescreatu's  "normal" color schemes? You don't see 'baby' colored pets running around like Neopets, or Bleeding Heart Mirabilis flying around.
Maybe Patrick was unable to get the codes right, or that it was a far too complicated process. Part of me hopes that he will bring back the whole idea.
