Not to be confused with Phantom (Animal).
Phantoms are the major antagonists of Animal Jam and Animal Jam Classic. They terrorize Jamaa and all of its inhabitants. They are created by malevolent emotions coming from Jamaa.

Lore[]
Phantoms terrorize Jamaa and all of its inhabitants to sustain the Phantom Dimension. The Phantom King wants all Phantoms to invade Jamaa, with the ultimate goal of merging Jamaa with the Phantom Dimension and destroying Jamaa.
The Phantoms developed the Phantom Portal which allows travel between the Phantom Dimension and Jamaa. With this development, Phantoms have caused Phantom Rifts around Jamaa, stolen Alpha Relics and caused havoc around Jamaa. They are at war with Jammers and Alphas within Jamaa. Phantoms produce electricity that harms Jammers, however, with the help of Paintseeds, Phantoms can be defeated.
