The Official Story

THE PHANTOMS
(Hostile Alien Species, Final Fantasy:
The Spirits Within, 2001)

The Phantoms are ghosts of an aggressive, extraterrestrial race in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. They are initially thought to be a race of alien invaders arriving on Earth via a meteorite known as the Leonid Meteor.

Dr. Sid’s research discovers the mass number of the Phantom populace remains constant; a Phantom will reappear when killed. This is the result of the Phantom planet’s Gaia, the Proto-Phantom.

Appearance

Invisible to the naked eye, Phantoms can only be seen through the use of specialized bio-etheric equipment. The body of a Phantom can be charged by an external source, such as the flare-gun used by Aki, momentarily rendering it visible.

Originally solid, their ghost-like bodies can pass through solid matter and if this matter is a living being, the Phantom will extract the being’s soul and consume it.

Behavior

The Phantoms are hostile, actively pursuing any living organism. Some intentionally emerge from the ground, walls or suddenly make themselves appear from thin air, like a typical ghost. Not all Phantoms remain invisible all the time.

Although they hunt the living, they prey on ‘souls’, their vary touch dissolving a living person’s soul via entire consumption or leaving the spirit to dissipate. They use their ‘tentacles’ to remove a person’s spirit, but sometimes use their body to come in contact with the prey without the need to ‘pull’ it out. Even after receiving considerable damage (such as from an explosion), Phantoms only disappear to re-emerge soon after when Proto-Phantom rebirths them.

Types

Phantom Particles

Aggressive particles possibly originating from pieces of larger Phantoms, they can bury themselves into a host spirit and gradually consume it from within. The particles can be located, contained and destroyed thanks to technology developed by the Bio-Etherics institute run by Dr. Sid. In the case of Aki Ross, who has the particles contained, she sees visions of the Phantoms’ homeworld that help her realize their nature.

Phantoms

Standing at around three meters in height, these Phantoms are the type most commonly encountered. They possess a bio-organic, tentacle-like weapons on their arms that they wield like whips to ensnare or impale a victim.

Flying-Phantoms

Large flying serpent-like predators, these phantoms possess tentacle-like appendages which they use to impale or entrap group-based victims and draw the prey to their mouths.

Meta-Phantoms

Originally these Phantoms were created as bio-engineered tanks, but over time they grew wild and became part of the Phantom planet’s ecosystem. Like the average Phantom, the Meta-Phantom possesses tentacle-like appendages over its body and a turret-like appendage on its back. It is difficult to kill with non-artillery weaponry.

Proto-Phantom

The Proto-Phantom is the what remained of the Phantom Planet’s Gaia, thus all Phantoms killed off eventually return to the Proto-Phantom to be reborn. The Proto-Phantom originally resided within the Leonid Meteor.
