Phantom (ファントム, Fantomu?) is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. Appearing as both a hostile creature and a summoned monster, it is always a ghostly undead creature.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy VI[]
Phantom is an esper acquired in the Magitek Research Facility. When summoned, it uses Ghostly Veil to grant Invisible to the entire party, making it a powerful tool against physically-oriented enemies. Phantom also gradually teaches Gravity, Vanish, and Berserk to its wielder, and grants a +10% boost to MP gain upon leveling up.
Final Fantasy VII Remake[]
The Phantom is an enemy encountered in the Sector 5 Slums as part of the "Missing Children" odd job, as well as in the Shinra Combat Simulator. The Phantom can be a tricky opponent as it will regularly vanish from sight, only to reappear right next to the player and attack with its claws.

Phantoms are a genus of uncommon undead fiends. While the genus debuted in Final Fantasy X, there is no common Phantom in X and the genus would go unnamed until its Sphere Break coin appeared in Final Fantasy X-2.
