Thermal Phantom

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

Overview
The Thermal Phantom is a much stronger and more dangerous version of a normal Phantom. The thermal version can shoot fire balls at their targets and can also temporally charge Mimics with thermal energy, setting them aflame.

They can be scanned for Superthermal I, II, III, Thermal Resistance, Thermal Absorption.

Description
EXCERPT FROM PSYCHOTRONICS DATABASE: It is unclear at this time what prompts a Weaver to invest additional resources in the creation of these more powerful phantoms. However, testing has revealed these phantom specimens are much more durable and more dangerous than their weaker cousins.
 * Common Name: Thermal Phantom
 * Scientific Name: Typhon anthrophantasmus psychothermal

ADDENDUM:

As its name implies, this phantom manipulates thermal radiation. Infrared analysis showed it was able to radiate lethal levels of infrared energy as a defensive measure when threatened. Its most dangerous ability however, is the spontaneous eruption of superheated plasma from a distance. Range is uncertain due to the small scale of the enclosures.

MORGAN'S NOTES/PETER'S NOTES

Running up to this thing is a bad idea. You'll burn. Appears to have an interaction with the Mimics - can temporarily charge them with the same thermal radiation. Flaming Mimics. Great.

Design
Thermal Phantoms for the most part look identical to a normal Phantom, except are smoldering and engulfed in flames.

Strategy
General tactics used against normal Phantom, work against the thermal version too. The thermal phantom burns GLOO off. Thermal versions can also set oil spills on fire, so be wary.
