Phantom

### Origins

Millions of years ago before Phantoms existed their ancestors who were as large as mountains and flew across the world always avoiding the daylight. They terrorized everything that was in their path including an ancient civilization of people who had been in the Overworld ever since life began. They banished these huge beasts to another dimension called the "Aether".

### New Evolution

The unique environment of the Aether made time pass faster for them than the beings on the Overworld. While evolving almost 500x faster than the normal this also caused them to be smaller like the mega-fauna back on the Overworld would soon become millions of years later. This decrease in size was due to the lack of the food they were used to like icebergs and space-dust.

### New Way of Life

Being used to their new home-world they almost forgot about their ancestor's original realm of the Overworld. Having keen interest in it they developed the ability of astral projection which allowed them to send their mind into this realm such as a version of "Spectator Mode" but without the phasing through blocks. After refining this ability they were able to construct a body there which the people there could see but only in their mind. This was most effective when they were sleeping and best when they were having nightmares. Doing this they scared early humans and animals which gave them a feeling they hadn't had since their time in the Overworld terrorizing the inhabitants there. They found this method of using their fear a much easier method of gaining energy, so they stuck with it.

### The Nether's First Invasion of The Overworld

After scaring the early cavemen they found a dimension to suck fear out of, The Nether. This plan didn't work as well as they thought since most of the beings there had only 1 thought or no thoughts at all except the advanced race known as the Piglins. They had built fortresses and bastions while also living in peace with the dangerous foes there. Furthermore, they had constructed advanced types of cloning machines called the "Monster Spawners" as called by the people of today who still couldn't figure out its technology. Seeing the only being that had the capacity for even having complex emotions they haunted them, but the Piglins caught wind of their plan and captured the leader's soul inside a piece of sand. Finding out that these pigs were able to capture their souls and destroy them without even being near their real bodies they hid in fear. For once the Phantoms who had always became fear incarnate had been frightened.

The Piglins who hadn't wanted the have otherworldly beings run away contacted them by creating a crude made Aether Portal out of glowstone, obsidian, and ghast tears. They negotiated with the Phantoms and led them in on their plan of conquering the Overworld. Their reason was to make the ancient civilization who banished them long ago to pay, they used to be human-sized and super-intelligent boars who even lived around the time the Ancients came to life. According to them, the Ancients feared their intelligence and broke their treaty and sent them to the Nether while also decreasing their intelligence beyond compare. The Phantoms agreed since they were both banished by the same group of people.

Using Nether Portals they invaded the Overworld together while but lost and all of them were "dumbified" and sent back to their dimensions. The Phantoms later discovered the End but the humans had found it before them and used their astral bodies to repair their elytras which were made out of baby dragon wings. This gave them a new emotion which was the new feeling of disgust towards humans. They all vowed in their heads to only scare people without ever remembering their past conflicts.
