Phantoon is a boss that appears in the Wrecked Ship on Zebes in Super Metroid, and is one of the four main bosses that must be defeated to gain access to Tourian. Unlike the other bosses, which must be found after much exploration of their respective areas, Phantoon must be defeated before Samus can explore the rest of the Wrecked Ship. For much of the fight, Phantoon will either be invisible or intangible; it may only be damaged when it becomes completely solid and visible. It attacks using blue plasma balls, often sending them out in a spiral pattern, a circle, in a row, or individually.

Other M

Phantoon appears as the final boss of Metroid: Other M at the Control Bridge. It has grown considerably since its Super Metroid appearance, and is one of the largest bosses Samus has fought to date.

Battle

Phantoon smashes the reinforced glass of the Control Bridge with its massive tentacles, eliminating gravity control and oxygen supply fairly early, although Samus remains safe with the Gravity Feature. It will start summoning extensions of itself, Rage Hands to try to grab and attack Samus. It will also create vortexes that will pull Samus in, and detonate when she reaches the center, and fires swarms of plasma tears that home in on Samus, unlike their Super Metroid counterparts.

When weakened enough, Phantoon's eye will fall to the ground, and becomes vulnerable to a Lethal Strike. If not performed, Phantoon will simply get back up and continue to fight until its health is completely depleted.
