Phantom Beast

Phantom Beasts (幻獣) are a race of incorporeal beings from the Disaster Abyss World Evezeino.

Origin
Similar to Spirits, which are embodiments of legends and folklore, phantom beasts are embodiments of craving. The desire for dominance, love, appetite, order, and approval. These natural desires gather in the Disaster Abyss of Craving, where they mix and muddle together into an aberrant black craving.

Behavior
They possess people and make them act upon unreasonable cravings, causing many races to die out. Only the Phantom Demons survived by adapting to the phantom beasts. Generally speaking, there are two ways to resist these cravings. One, the host cannot be controlled due to their strong willpower; or two, the host's craving surpasses the phantom beast's.

Incarnation
Phantom beasts are incorporeal from birth, they cannot be seen by the average Magic Eyes and cannot be destroyed either. They take the form of invisible, amorphous mud. However, there are two methods by which they can gain a physical body:

Through the Phoenix of Gestation and the craving of childbirth, it is possible to connect a woman's womb with the Disaster Abyss of Craving, causing her children to be born as an incarnated phantom beast.

Alternatively, they can devour their host's source to gain their body. Approximately 60% of phantom beasts, mainly low-class ones, gained bodies this way.

Diet
Phantom beasts like to attack and eat Hayfolians, which are considered Prey Spirit Cups (餌食霊杯) due to their extremely low cravings. Once they have tasted a prey spirit cup, they will continue to hunt down for more.
