Phantom

Phantom is an enemy that was planned to appear in Resident Evil 4, it was present in its "Stylish" stage of development. When this version became Devil May Cry, Phantom was kept as an enemy, however his design was slightly changed to accommodate to the new story; instead of having blood flowing around his body, lava instead was used.

Further notes

 * In Devil May Cry, Phantom bleeds lava when he is hit during gameplay and when he dies in a cutscene, however, in the opening of Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, Phantom is seen bleeding blood instead of lava, which could be a reference to his initial development.
 * In Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2, two other games also directed by Hideki Kamiya, the summon "Phantasmaraneae" has the exact same design as Phantom, some of its attack animations are also based on Phantom's.
