Phantom (Kingdom Hearts)

The Phantom is a minor villain in the videogame Kingdom Hearts. It is an Emblem Heartless that attacked the Clock Tower, as well as serving as one of the optional bosses in the game.

Appearance
The Phantom is an Emblem Heartless that appeared as a long, tattered, black cloak with long sleeves that gradiates into a light aqua color from the waist down. It has a long, pointed hood and it does not seem to have a face or body of any kind. Only its own clawed, five-fingered hands are visible, but even they seem to be wrapped in the cloak. The apparent source of its power is an orb that contains its heart in the lower section of the cloak. This orb glows in a different color—red, blue, yellow, and white—depending on the type of attack it is currently vulnerable to. The orb can also disappear entirely for short periods of time. The Heartless emblem is displayed on its back.

In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the Phantom is largely unchanged, though its cloak is now predominantly white with black sleeves decorated by a flame-like pattern.

The Phantom's name is a reference to its eerie, ghost-like appearance.

History
The Phantom emerged from the Final Keyhole after it was opened by the Princesses of Heart. It decided to go straight towards Neverland, where it decides to possessed the Clock Tower for unknown reasons. Tinker Bell discovered the Phantom there, and flew back to the Cabin of Captain Hook's ship, where she manages to find Sora, his friends, and Peter Pan there. She tells them about a strange creature that she saw near the Clock Tower, and she leads them back to the Tower. As they were flying to the Clock Tower to search for this creature, the Phantom appeared out of nowhere and attacked them. However, after a long and violent battle, The Phantom is defeated by Sora and his friends.
