'''Phantom''', referred to by his song's title as '''[[Phantom of the Bwahpera]]''', and also known by the anagram '''Tom Phan''', is the end boss of [[Spooky Trails]] in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. He is a levitating, heavyset [[Rabbid]] ghost with an {{wp|American Enlightenment|Enlightenment}}-style attire and a [[Boo]]-like underside that occasionally turns transparent, revealing a {{wp|phonograph}} inside. His name is also a pun on the {{wp|Phantom of the Opera (1976 musical)|Phantom of the Opera}}. He tends to be quite boastful about what he is, calling himself a "national treasure," as proven by his battle quotes. The Phantom also has a tendency to talk in sing-song, and speaks with a thick French accent. | '''Phantom''', referred to by his song's title as '''[[Phantom of the Bwahpera]]''', and also known by the anagram '''Tom Phan''', is the end boss of [[Spooky Trails]] in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''.

However, his song starts with several uses of the "Bwaah" sound, but with a deeper voice. He also makes these sounds throughout the battle itself. | ||

When he is still a regular Rabbid, he is mischievous, curious, and playful like his fellow Rabbids, while always causing trouble without thinking about the consequences. After the Rabbid was fused and became the Phantom, he's extremely vain, wicked, arrogant, overconfident, and egotistical; way more than [[Rabbid Peach]]. He constantly regards himself as being superior to Mario and his friends and believes that he will destroy them even when he is quite weak and vulnerable. Even during the heat of battle, Phantom still remains concerned about his appearance, often stating "How does my nose look?" During his second ballad, he questions why Mario and his friends aren't kneeling before because he is "the star" and later states that they are not worth his time. He also has a flair for dramatization, and a passion for opera. | When he is still a regular Rabbid, he is mischievous, curious, and playful like his fellow Rabbids, while always causing trouble without thinking about the consequences.

Throughout the entirety of both his ballads, The Phantom is very hypocritical as he openly insults and mercilessly harasses Mario out of cold-blood, mocking his "plump-shaped" weight, mustache, relationship with Princess Peach, and lack of speaking in most games. In one of his lyrics, he states that Mario has done him "a thousand wrongs ever since Donkey Kong", meaning that his hatred for Mario stems from his very first appearance in video games. The Phantom is also very covetous of ''[[Princess Peach]]'', as revealed in his song that he wants to have Peach for himself and "touch her heart" | ||
When defeated and before being de-fused, the Phantom will let out a sobbing tantrum, with the thought and reality of being defeated by the very person he took pleasure in harassing so much. | When defeated and before being de-fused, the Phantom will let out a sobbing tantrum, with the thought and reality of being defeated by the very person he took pleasure in harassing so much. | ||
