Phantoon, unlike conventional ghosts, feeds off electrical energy<ref name="Super Metroid Guide">"PHANTOON/The ship, even though it's wrecked, is still producing power. However, none of that power is being directed where it should be. Something is diverting power just after the source. That something is Phantoon." ''Super Metroid'' Player's Guide, Pg. 9</ref><ref name="Super Metroid Guide 2">"C) GET THE MAP DATA/Phantoon is sucking up all the power that the ship's energy-producing crystals can make. Therefore, none of the systems are operational. This includes the [[Map Computer]]. Hook up with the Computer after Phantoon gives up the ghost." ''Super Metroid'' Player's Guide, Pg. 84</ref> without directly connecting to any wires or equipment, such as the [[Wrecked Ship]] and [[Bottle Ship]]. The specter also taps into Mother Brain's "vicious brainwaves,"<ref name="Super Metroid Manual"/> meaning that Mother Brain may have some control over it, or Phantoon feeds off of her negative energy as well. Nevertheless, based on its portrayal among the bosses in the [[Golden Statue]], Phantoon is a high ranked [[Space Pirate]]. | |||

Shortly after Samus enters | Shortly after Samus enters the boss room of the Wrecked Ship, several blue flames will begin to ignite, floating in the center of the room. They'll form a circle and start rotating around before closing in on each other. As they fade away, Phantoon begins to materialize into existence. | ||
