'''The Phantom''', also known by the anagram '''Tom Phan''', is a levitating, heavyset hybrid of a [[Rabbid]] and a [[Boo]] who appears in the ''[[Mario + Rabbids (series)|Mario + Rabbids]]'' series. He has an {{wp|American Enlightenment|Enlightenment}}-style attire and a Boo-like underside that occasionally turns transparent, revealing a {{wp|phonograph}} inside. His name is derived from ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera (novel)|The Phantom of the Opera}}'', as evidenced by the title of his first song, "[[The Phantom of the Bwahpera]]." He tends to be quite boastful about what he is, calling himself a "national treasure," as proven by his battle quotes. The Phantom also has a tendency to talk in opera sing-song, and speaks with a thick French accent. His voice is provided by Augustin Chemelle.<ref>[https://www.operamusica.com/artist/augustin-chemelle/video/39477 Augustin Chemelle on his Opera Music's profile page] (August 3, 2017).</ref> | |||

He is created when [[Bowser Jr.]] puts his bandana over his mouth and scares [[Spawny]] causing him to shoot a beam from the [[SupaMerge]] Headset combining a Rabbid, a Boo balloon, and a phonograph. As per his name and theme, he sings [[The Phantom of the Bwahpera|a song]] to Mario and company before engaging in battle. The song is heard as part of the game's second trailer.<ref name="Phantom">Ubisoft (August 1, 2017).

Retrieved August 2, 2017.</ref> He is the only Rabbid in game to communicate using normal sentences, instead of various grunts and screams. However, his song starts with several uses of the "Bwaah" sound, but with a deeper voice. He also makes these sounds throughout the battle itself. The Phantom is shown to be extremely vain, as evidenced by his obsession over his spotlights. | ||
In battle, the Phantom is initially immune to all attacks. To be able to damage him, Mario and co. must destroy the light fixtures beside him, disabling the spotlights focused on him; the Phantom becomes vulnerable once all active light fixtures are smashed. Each phase of the battle has one more light fixture to smash than the last, as well as giving the boss new Rabbid minions at the end of his first turn; [[Valkyrie]]s, [[Buckler]]s, and [[Peek-a-Boo (enemy)|Peek-a-Boo]]s. His main attack is an operatic shriek that acts like a Rocket weapon; it hits everyone within a radius for 40 [[Heart Point|HP]] and can inflict the [[Push]] effect. He can also activate a ghostly shield around him; the first hero to move within range becomes [[Stone|petrified]], unable to take further action for their turn. | In battle, the Phantom is initially immune to all attacks.
