Phantom Beast

Phantom Beasts (幻獣) are powerful Witch-like creatures that appear in Hand in Hand: Magia Divide.

Overview
In Hand in Hand, replace witches - they are powerful Witch-like creatures that appear throughout the story (after the second act) - Chouno is the reason for them existing, using her powers to “help” the ‘puella remnants’. They’re created from the leftover despair released after a magical girl uses her Doppel, which then possesses the closest person and/or thing.
 * Once killed, they disperse into rays of dark energy that float off into the atmosphere (and become new beasts all over again), unless all the energy is gone with the beast.
 * They’re themed after different mythical creatures and Yōkai.
