The Phantom is a Hardmode enemy that spawns on the surface during the night. It phases through tiles and flies above the player, waiting for them to make their move. When the player starts moving by either falling, flying, or jumping, it will become provoked. When provoked, its eyes glow purple, emits purple particles, makes a sudden sound, and then will start swooping towards the player in attempt to deal contact damage. If it becomes daytime, the Phantom will despawn, vanishing in black cloud particles.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Phantom: "A typical cave bat, transformed into pure darkness by ancient magicks. When night falls, they take to the skies to feed on those unfortunate enough to still be awake."
