*Even though Samus fights Phantoon in a vacuum in ''Metroid: Other M'', sound effects are still played regularly, although sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
*Phantoon emits the roar of the Tyranosaurus from the 1957 Universal film ''The Land Unknown''. This same cry can also be heard during the battles against [[Crocomire]] and [[Kraid]], with Kraid reusing the roar in ''Metroid: Zero Mission''.
*Phantoon's appearance in ''Other M'' is much more organic than its ''Super Metroid'' appearance.
*It is unknown why Phantoon's appearance differs so drastically between games.
:*It may be that its size is directly proportionate to how much energy its absorbed from the ship it leeches off of. The Wrecked Ship would obviously only provide so much, but the Bottle Ship is gigantic, fully operational, and teeming with energy.
:*It might grow larger as it physically matures.
:*It may also have simply been an artistic change.
*Phantoon's upper body pulsates visibly and audibly like a heart. It may be where it "processes" the energy it absorbs.
*Concept art from ''Metroid: Other M ''depicts Phantoon as the head atop a vaporous humanoid body, with two larger [[Rage Hand]]s as its hands. It also depicts Phantoon in its ''Super Metroid'' appearance despite it having a different design.

*''Metroid: Other M'' has made Phantoon one of the largest bosses Samus has encountered.
*Phantoon's incarnation in ''Metroid: Other M'' is one of the largest bosses Samus has encountered.
*Phantoon's physical structure is heavily similar to [[Powamp]]s from [[Maridia]]. However, no connection exists between them.
*Phantoon bears a resemblance to a boss of the ''Legend of Zelda'' game, ''[http://www.zeldawiki.org/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Phantom_Hourglass Phantom Hourglass]'': [http://www.zeldawiki.org/Bellum Bellum]. Most notably, both creatures have an eye surrounded by teeth.
