The Phantom (ファントム, Fantomu) is an enemy which appears in Suikoden.
Information
These enigmatic foes manifested within the confines of Gregminster Palace, often found in the company of other monsters. Though not exceptionally challenging adversaries, their ability to assault the back row of a party posed a significant threat due to their formidable strength.
Phantoms presented themselves as jet-black warriors, exhibiting an intriguing behavior as they materialized in front of their intended targets with sudden movements, wielding their swords to strike.
The true nature and origins of these entities remain shrouded in mystery, with some speculating that they might be the spirits of the deceased. Despite being cloaked in full armor, their physical substance appears limited, resulting in relatively thin armor.
Notably, Phantoms are known to possess a valuable item known as the Earth Boots, a prized piece of equipment sought after by adventurers.
