Neon phantoms are mincing humanoids with thin, blue skin that reveals the luminescent skeleton within. (Consequently, they can never Surprise foes, and can always be perceived from a full quarter-mile away.)  Their high-pitched voices really grate on the nerves.

Neon phantoms feed on electricity.  Each combat round, a neon phantom drains 2d6 charges from all weapons, gadgets, power cells, batteries, etc. in a 50' radius, all the while generating a cacophony of crackling static.  Furthermore, neon phantoms wreak havoc with tech-based light sources, and can override them to create blisteringly bright, kaleidoscopically disorienting, and / or oppressively dark effects which result in To Hit penalties of -3 for all caught within.

All artifacts found in a neon phantom's hoard will be completely depleted of energy, no matter the power source.
