The Death Eye, also known as the PHANTOM, is an enemy from Final Fantasy. It is a fixed encounter the party must face before they can access the lower levels of the Chaos Shrine. It can also appear as a random encounter on the final floor of the Chaos Shrine in version where encounters are enabled on that floor.

Battle[]
Due to its low HP, the Death Eye is typically not a threat. However, it can break resistances via Dispel, then follow up with several status and instant death attacks. Using Diaga or Firaga is recommended to dispose of it quickly.

Behind the scenes[]
PHANTOM's original Famicom sprite.
Much like the EYE, in the game's original Japanese release the PHANTOM, then named デスビホルダー (Desubihorudā?, lit. Death Beholder), so resembled the Beholders from Dungeons & Dragons that Nintendo redesigned the shared sprite between the two monsters before bringing the game to the US.
Etymology[]
A phantom is a ghost, a physical manifestation of the soul or spirit of a deceased person.
