Phantom Limb

**Debut** | TBA

**Phantom Limb** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Fantomskibolian Medium from the planet Odustatiodustatiodduhaduha.

## Appearance

Phantom Limb is an arachnid-like humanoid alien with coarse dark yellow alien and thick fur-like hair growing out of the back of his very long neck, around his shoulders, over his abdomen, and across the tops of his four insectoid legs which end with sharp points and blacken the further down that they go. He has an awkwardly shaped head with large human-like ears emerging from the top corners, a black stripe stretching over his forehead that features a singular multicolored eye, going from purple, to red, to a lighter red inwards, and a large fleshy pink protrusion that extends from the center of his face, appearing as two human-like arms bound together and functioning as his nose, with two nostrils of different sizes, the left one larger than the other, on the end. He has tentacled arms that end with pincer-like claws featuring squid-like suckers. He wears a black triangular vest with red and tan stripes, and two pairs of shorts over his legs, his left front leg and right back leg ending with red stripes, and his right front leg and left back leg ending with tan stripes. His profile image displays his right arm retracted into his shoulder, demonstrating his amputation survivability.

Phantom Limb wears the Simplicitrix on the back of his left back leg.

## Powers

* Phantom Limb can cause any amputated body part and limb in his radius to reanimate into an invisible apparition of itself, capable of interacting with the mortal world despite being imperceptible to the human eye, which he can telekinetically manipulate through esoteric means, using his ghost limbs to strike and clobber opponents without them even being able to see where they come from. Without his telekinetic control over them, his ghost limbs can crawl around as if they have a mind of their own, capable of endlessly tracking whoever they were severed from.
* Phantom Limb can survive limb amputation through retracting their stumps back inside his torso and spawning claw-shaped growths over them to reduce and stifle any blood loss, even capable of doing so with all six of his limbs having been sliced clean off, before naturally growing them back every time that his species naturally molt their skin every half a month. However, as his body part reanimation applies to himself too, he can telekinetically control the ghosts of his severed limbs to regain usage out of them.
* Phantom Limb can sense and detect nearby paranormal phenomenon, including the presence of spirits, whether deceased individuals or species such as Ectonurites, represented through his hairs standing on end whether they enter his radius.
* Phantom Limb has enhanced strength, durability, speed, reflexes, stamina, mobility, dexterity, and senses, most notably hearing and smell.
* Phantom Limb has prehensile arm tentacles and sharp legs.

## Weaknesses

* Phantom Limb's ghost limbs can be pinned and restrained through those capable of being intangible, matching the ghostly spectrum which they exist on and allowing them to fight back against them.
* Phantom Limb must maintain his control over his ghost limbs, as doing so will cause them to autonomously act on their own and pursue after the body they were severed from with murderous intent.
* Phantom Limb's limb regrowth is extremely inconvenient as it takes a minimum of two whole weeks for him to regenerate them back, much longer than any standard duration a transformation may be used without pause.

## Etymology

* Phantom Limb refers to refers to a sensation experienced by someone who has had a limb amputated, feeling as if the limb is still there, referencing his powers in which he can literally create phantom limbs.
* Phantom Limb's species name is a play on the Serbian translation of "phantom pain," as in when phantom limbs cause painful sensations despite coming from a body part not there anymore, referencing his ability to fight and cause harm using his ghost limbs.
* Phantom Limb's planet name is a play on the Serbian translation of "give up the ghost," a phrase when a machine has stopped working.
