Jeiel here once again, for a round of Mamono creations!
Power is a trend in the realm of Oz, especially, to the races with culpable prowess. Those who are drunk with it gain the ability to influence even the normally docile species, and then there are Mamono who are easily corrupted beyond compare. Ready to meet a specie that Emerald City itself is scared of dealing with? Time for a bio on this brazen beaut.
________________
PHANFASM
Family/Type: Chimaera/Demon Beast
Habitat: Mount Phantastico (the Dreadlands, where Demon realms are plentiful)
Disposition: Submissive, simple, devious (when aroused)
Diet: Mana of human men, emotions
A race of phantasmal, chimeric beast endemic to Oz, and one that only Oz can contain. They live in solitude away from the festivities of Ozian species. Due to events in the past, they fear setting foot outside their home, the Dread Mountains. They claim that if they are ever to leave, they would once again, foreshadow doom to all of the land's inhabitants.
The true face of a Phanfasm is unknown. From the chest, waist and feet down, they are genuinely humanoid, except the furred areas around their wrists and the regions above their ankles. Past that, they have the features of multiple Mamonos. Some have Draconic teeth, horns and scales, complete with a reptilianne tail. Others, the neck feathers and crest of Birdme as well as tail feathers. Others still, the unnatural parts of Magic Material types with an antenna-like extension on their rear end. It was theorized every member of the Phanfasm specie is unique in a way one is distinguishable from the other.
Phanfasms wear minimal clothing, sometimes to the point they are almost naked. Then again, they mind this less since they are actually, partly ethereal - their bodies can phased through structures periodically and avoic physical constrictions. They adorn themselves with headgear of animal skulls as if to look fearsome. They carry primeval weapons such as clubs and spears that they wield with such proficiency and grace.
Most of all, they wield the magic of tangibility, known only as Realize - anything that their imagination makes of it, they can manifest into reality (each Phanfasm has their own version of Realize, and as a rule their weapons are the only outlets to which their magic manifests ). Using this power, they built one of the most luxurious phantom cities in Oz, accessible only to them and the ones they favor. In their eyes, the city Phantasma is a protected capital of blinding light, but towards anyone it's but a pile of towering rocks.
With their overwhelming power, comes their susceptibility to wickedness. Many years ago, when the Nome King Ruggedo TeraByss was in position, she tried to enlist as many Mamono allies as possible to put an end to Emerald City. The Phanfasms, who are monsters living in solitude and used their magicks to provide their wants and needs, were among those recruited by the Nome general Gruph. She told them of the pleasure in destroying innocent people, and the joy of ridding Oz of happiness. Right then and there, the magic Realize formed a dark hold over their hearts and turned them evil. They plotted to conquer the Nomes and their allies once the Emerald Throne is ruined. Towards this, they rallied on what was called the darkest time in Oz, the 'Niche of Sorrows'. Emerald City was nearly wrecked beyond repair, and their plan nearly came to reality until they drank water from Veritatem's Forbidden Fountain. Their tainted thoughts suddenly left them and they were filled in shock at what their magic made them do. It was Princess Ozma and Dorothea Squall who sent them back to Mt. Phantastico at the end of the war.
Even as they seemingly returned to normal, the darkness had not left the Phanfasm's hearts. Two factions grew from the singularity: ones who wished to return to their dark path, the Darken, and ones who wanted to return to their quiet lives, the Hikars. A battle erupted amidst the warring sides, and after years, the Hikars won. They suceeded in locking the city Phantasma from the rest of Oz, and enchanting most of their fellow Phanfasms to becoming semi-permeable beings (they themselves are partly intangible to the real world) to refrain from getting involved in Ozian conflict.
Originally, Phanfasms are Mamono who thrived in their peace thanks to their magic, and the lewd ideals of MR had never affected them. But after the episodic corruption of the entire race, they now hold malicious thoughts towards life. They have a deep-seated want for destruction that can only be sated by lust and perversity - and this is where they have turned for the worst.
Every 30 days in the human calendar, the Phanfasms join their Realize magic to induce a massive teleportation spell. They forcibly bring to Dread Mountains, unprotected men and travelers from all corners of Oz to which the city drags them within and prevents them from even leaving. Then, sensing the surge of mana in their own home, they storm towards the trapped individuals like hunger-stricken vultures. One by one, the Phanfasms will force every man down in an unforgiving orgy, ramming their sex organs into their partner as if he were a mere outlet of the Phanfasm's lascivious urges - to which is true. They seek sex because they believe this releases their negative emotions and replaces it with pink thoughts.
True enough, what is supposedly malefic means become perverted desires. The Phanfasm will turn her beady eyes towards a man, and caring not what he does to her, she will continuously suck semen and mana from him in every position or maneuver achievable. In return, he gains the Mamono's 'favor' : he will gain the ability to percieve Phantasma, become semi-intangible like the Phanfasm race, and his thoughts are linked with hers. By then, he will understand the reason behind her relentless copulation and will accept her whole-heartedly.
Married Phanfasms gain a mark on their foreheads to signal their bond with their husbands, which is usually written by none other than the husbands themselves. This mark is actually a pleasure rune imbued with intense DE, and through it the Mamono's mind is saturated in the thought 'I want to have sex with the man I love, and nothing else in this world matters anymore'. Since the man is connected to the Phanfasm mentally, he will resonate with her feelings. He will know immediately when the Phanfasm fawns over him, and even if he tries to say no she will toy with his maculinity or trick him into lewd activity without a second thought.
The Phanfasm's Realize ability will be ten times stronger than before, as she is constantly bathed in her husband's spiritual energy. She will not use this for any matter, however, except to keep their man close. If he has wives outside the city, she will wilfully transport them into Phantasma, and they will be bound by the city for the sake of everyone's 'happiness'. The wives will be soaked in Phantasma's energy, little by little, until they transform into their own Phanfasm, unique and equally drawn to their husband alone.
It is uncertain if Phanfasms retain their destructive ideals once they acquire a husband, but it is single Phanfasms that are feared by Ozians given their tendency to exact just that. The head honcho of all Phanfasms, which has a title of 'Firsanformose' and is a member of the Hikar faction, is currently unknown. There are rumours stating she has still kept the Darken belief alive among the Hikars. Only she has the power to keep them in Mt. Phantastico, and only she has the power to unleash them into Zion once more.

NOTE: The latest Mamono addition here is a potential danger, minna! The Phanfasms are masters of recreational magicks and are Oz' secret bosses! Just think what they can do if they were ever released. Not even Wiccen can take 'em down, so I'd keep my fingers crossed around 'em! As Jeiel Yozama, I can only pray you guys won't make the same mistake...
