Voltaic Phantom

The Voltaic Phantom is a Typhon in Prey (2017) and Prey: Mooncrash.

Overview
The Voltaic Phantom is a much stronger and more dangerous version of a normal Phantom. It can shoot electrical bolts at its targets and can electrocute anything that comes close to it, also disabling all non-standard weapons that Morgan is using (the Silenced Pistol, Wrench, and Shotgun are not affected). The Phantom can also super-charge nearby Mimics, making them much tougher. The first Voltaic Phantom is encountered in the Psychotronics Live Exam chamber. Interestingly, they are the only phantom type that cannot warp (move very quickly in short bursts); they only move by walking.

They can be scanned for Electrostatic Burst I, II, III, Electrostatic Resistance, Electrostatic Absorption.

MORGAN'S NOTES/PETER'S NOTES

Never created in the lab - until now. Weaver's abilities must be adapting. Electromagnetic fields disrupt everything around it. Electrocutes anything dumb enough to get close. Like the thermal, keep as far away as possible. Looks like it can super-charge Mimics too.

Design
Voltaic Phantoms for the most part look identical to a normal Phantom, except they have the addition of crystals sticking out of their backs that emit electricity.

Strategy
The player should be wary about Voltaic Phantoms around explosive canisters as their passive electricity generation will cause the canisters to explode. The Voltaic version is also immune to Disruptor Stun Gun. Also be mindful of conductive surfaces like water or metal when a voltaic phantoms are in contact with them.
