Lord Pyrethum

Lord Pyrethum is a phobiast, a type of spiritfolk that thrives on the fear of others, first speaking in The Gods Are Gone Part 3, and officially appearing at the end of The Gods Are Gone Part 4. It later reappeared as a member of Xin's attack on Xinkala during BIG WAR Part 33. 
Lord Pyrethum, as a powerful Phobiast who early on in its life came across a particularly imaginative mortal whose fear gave it a terrifyingly powerful form. It changed form for the first time afterwards, when the Nine Shrines Adventure Agency attacked it during their attempt to become the Lily and Valor Clan Champions, turning into the form of Ashe. Whose fear caused the phobiast to turn into Ashe is still up to debate. 
During its reappearance in the BIG WAR arc in episode 146, it at first was in the form of the terrifying powerful form the Nine Shrines Adventure Agency stumbled upon when they saw it the first time. 
During the fight it changed form multiple times. The first time it did so in the fight, was when he turned into Xin as Markus' fear, representing his general disliking of him amongst other things. Another time into Ashe, just like in his last encounter, as Gregor's fear, under the fact that Gregor's greatest fear at the time was hurting Ashe. The final form it took was a unique green Ban version of Ashe, representing Ashe's greatest fear of her becoming hollow and empty, both to Xin's words and to her succumbing to her powers.
