Dark . . .

so the most icon part of Phan is the clawed cane holding the little glass orb, and yknow what?

in korean/chinese myth dragons are often holding a flaming pearl said to hold all their knowledge and power, and in korean myth its said it gives the dragons the power of omnipotence and creation. And these pearls are sometimes called Wish granting pearls. And what does this man do?

grant wishes with his fancy cane close at hand.

FURTHERMORE!

this mans got a spellbook and the drawings inside remind me of those alchemist graphs, and alchemy itself is linked with the ouroboros! A dragon of cycles! Life and death, creation and destruction. And what's phantom the song about? The predatory nature of the music industry, making new talent and gobbling them up then moving on to the new 'rising star'

And i know that Phan is supposed to be your archetypical smooth talking demon BUT! Consider this! Demons are often depicted as fallen angels, and here's a fun fact. The word Seraph, can often mean burning or serpent, which is why some non biblical text calls them dragons

SO IN CONCLUSION

THIS FUCKING THING IS A DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
