===Personality and speech===
Antasma's speech is based off old Dracula movies with most words having "v"s in them (which was meant to indicate a Slavic-Hungarian accent) and screaming tics which come from his bat side. In the Japanese version, his speech is written completely in {{wp|katakana}}. He makes careful decisions, since after his imprisonment, such as choosing whose power he needs to help realize his dreams, but can be jumped-on easily when in a false sense of security, such as Bowser attacking him in Dream's Deep and betraying him later on. He has a temper and a strong hate for the Pi'illo's, especially Prince Dreambert. Others show fear towards him besides the Zeekeeper, who sees him as just a pest.

He appears to be generous, allowing Bowser to make the first wish on the Dream Stone, and saying Bowser could have the world when Bowser states that he wants to be the one to rule, but whether this was genuine or to try and manipulate Bowser is debated by fans, as is whether or not Bowser was correct in assuming Antasma was going to betray him.
 
Antasma seems to prefer working with others who are similar to him, as he abandoned his original plan of stealing Princess Peach's power in favor of teaming up with Bowser, noting both that Bowser seemed stronger, and that Bowser was evil, and preferred to team up with Bowser rather than trying to steal Bowser's power.
