Phantomtail

Template:Enemy The Phantomtail is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It serves as a boss in Neverland.

Story

The Phantomtail is summoned to Neverland by Captain Hook's greed. Roxas defeats the Heartless, but its defeat is discovered by Pete, who resolves to summon an even more powerful Heartless in its place.

Design

The Phantomtail is a large, draconic Heartless with pink skin. Its legs and shoulders are black. This Heartless is thinly built and has large, peculiarly-shaped feet; each foot has a black claw on its front and another on its back. The tip of the Phantomtail's long tail is hooked, as are the tips of its wings. Short, forward-facing horns appear atop this Heartless's head above each of its yellow eyes, and the Heartless emblem appears on its chest.

The Phantomtail's name references its eerie, ghostlike appearance, as well as its tail.

Battle

Strategy

At the start of his battle against the Phantomtail, Roxas should immediately Lock-On to the boss and jump up to its level to start dishing out attacks. It is essential that Lock-On be maintained over the course of this fight, as the Phantomtail warps each time it is hit. In addition to physical attacks and Limit Breaks, Roxas can use the Thunder spell to deal heavy damage to this Heartless from a distance.
