Shinigami (死神, Shinigami, lit. god(s) of death or death god(s)) are a type of Japanese death god. They are sometimes referred to by their literal translation god(s) of death, or by the Western equivalent grim reaper(s).
In the Death Note series, they are a race of extra-dimensional beings who survive by killing humans to extend their own lives. Shinigami are not responsible for every death that occurs; people will eventually die regardless of whether or not the Shinigami pay attention to them, but a Shinigami can end their lives sooner than intended to extend their own lifespan.
Although some Shinigami do not appear to have limbs capable of holding objects (such as hands, feet, etc.), all Shinigami are able to hold and write in order to use their respective notebooks.

Shinigami are also capable of flight and use wings as a mode of transportation, especially in the Human World. When their wings are not in use, they retract.
The Shinigami each have a unique personality and level of intelligence. Each Shinigami has his or her own written language, with some opting for letters and others for pictures. Takeshi Obata assumes that all Shinigami can understand each others' languages. Some Shinigami can also speak, read and write in Earthly languages.
Although Shinigami have jobs, they do not have a required amount of work to do. Their main job is to find humans they can take life from and write their name in their Death Note. Some Shinigami tend to forget to write names down, causing them to die. Shinigami can also save other humans they care about if that person is about to die; however, the purpose of a Shinigami is to end life, not to give it. Any Shinigami who goes against this will be killed. For the most part, Shinigami live a very vague and meaningless existence. As mentioned by Ryuk, the only reason Shinigami even prolong their own lives by taking the lives of humans is because even they are afraid of death. If a Shinigami continues to fill their Death Note with names, they will live forever, under normal circumstances. It is unknown if shinigami age in any way, though Armonia Justin Beyondormason has been seen to replace parts of his body with mechanical parts over time.

Shinigami may be male or female. They cannot and are not permitted to have sexual relations with humans, nor can they have sexual intercourse with one another. They are also unable to reproduce. Despite this, Shinigami may still carry emotions pertaining to others, be it human or shinigami. In addition, humans cannot easily tell which Shinigami are male and which Shinigami are female, although Shinigami inherently know each other's gender.
Shinigami can materialize and de-materialize their bodies at will and are capable of walking through walls and other objects. The only humans that will see this phenomenon are the ones who have touched a Death Note (i.e. only contact with a Death Note will allow you to see a Shinigami). Physical attacks are useless against a Shinigami. Even if one allows you to shoot/stab them, their wounds heal almost instantaneously and they leave no apparent effects.
In the past, Shinigami once needed sustenance, but due to the Shinigami realm having no consistent source of nourishment, their organs began to evolve making them no longer require it.

In addition, they do not require rest and will not die from a lack of sleep. Ryuk once says that Shinigami view sleeping as evidence of laziness.
The main thing all Shinigami have in common is the Death Note. This supernatural notebook allows them to end the lives of humans before their times, adding the human's remaining lifespans to their own. In this manner, a Shinigami can extend their lives indefinitely. To assist in this, their eyes allow them to see the names and remaining lifespans of humans by seeing the faces of their victims, even if their names are not officially registered.
All Shinigami must possess at least one Death Note, a necessity to extend their lives. Should they manage to come across a second, it should—at least in principle—be returned to the Shinigami King. When a Death Note is dropped in the Human World, humans who pick up the notebook may use that Death Note to kill others. If a notebook ever reaches the human world and is picked up by a human, the Shinigami must accompany the human until they die or the Death Note is willingly given back. Shinigami can explain the purpose of the Death Note to the human, but this is done at their discretion.

They are able to give Shinigami Eyes to humans they posses per a deal, in exchange for half of that human's remaining lifespan. The halved lifespan the human loses are given to the Shinigami that they are making the trade with. Shinigami give this ability to the human by placing their open hand above the human's head.
The King of Death rules the realm, and controls the distribution of each and every Death Note given to all Shinigami. Apart from this, it is unknown what, if any, other tasks he performs. Shinigami have rankings, with the King holding the highest rank. These rankings do not seem to affect the Shinigami's day-to-day activities very much. They also have an unknown number of laws that they follow. It is unknown who creates these laws, as well as who enforces them. If a Shinigami breaks a law, the Shinigami will face one of nine levels of punishment. The severity is lowest at Level Eight and highest at Level One, and a Shinigami will die if anything above Level Three is applied to them. Another level more severe than the rest, called the Extreme Level also exists. Shinigami may not kill a human in any manner outside of using a Death Note, and doing so merits the Extreme Level of punishment.
Shinigami are ranked from highest to lowest, with the lowest being the more superior. It appears that higher stats contribute to a Shinigami's rank. The Shinigami King holds an unknown rank; a rank above all the others.

While the system consists of numbers and all Shinigami have a different number, in the pilot series, there appears to be a different ranking system, as one Shinigami says that because Ryuk is always losing his Death Note, he is still a C-Rank Shinigami, suggesting that there is some alternative ranking system in which multiple Shinigami can be of the same rank.
Despite ranks being mentioned, it appears that ranks have no overall effect on anything in the Shinigami Realm. However, higher-ranking Shinigami tend to be closer to the King of Death.
The Shinigami Realm is a barren, dry, and desolate land that is similar to the Purgatory. The realm includes different landscapes and does not have human-like buildings. Shinigami tend to congregate in areas with bone and/or stone structures. There is at least one mountain or cave structure where Ryuk lives alone which is shown in the one-shot special of the anime.

The realm also includes deserts with various holes. The holes, which are shaped like concentric orbs, are littered about the surface. The artifacts have openings which let them see anywhere in the human world from a birds-eye view. These strange objects are what allow Shinigami to take human lives without traveling to Earth. The date that the holes were created is not known.
