Bellum is an evil being that drains other beings of their life energy, being the one responsible for the draining effects of the Ghost Ship and the Temple of the Ocean King. He can only be defeated with the Phantom Sword. In addition to having an appetite for life force, Bellum created the Phantoms using his power, making them as invulnerable as himself to weapons except the Phantom Sword. Bellum is also the Latin word for war, possibly meaning he is the god of war. Bellum's motives are never touched upon, other than sating its hunger for souls and destruction. His eyes bear a striking resemblance to those of Majora's Mask and Vaati. Oshus states that Bellum is the one that created the Phantoms that prowl the Temple of the Ocean King as well as many other evil creatures.
