This page is for Fright Knight, the ghost. For the episode, see Fright Night.

Fright Knight is an ancient and powerful ghost, self-described as the spirit of Halloween and both the Ghost King's minion and second-in-command.

History[]

Season 1[]

In the episode "Fright Night" Fright Knight, described as 'The Spirit of Halloween,' was released as a result of Danny attempting to borrow his sword for a haunted-house decorating Halloween contest.

He chases after him and takes over Amity Park with his sword, the Soul Shredder, which causes people to disappear to a dimension where they experience their greatest fears (which include Mr. Lancer in a dimension where he is forced to constantly scratch a chalkboard while doing calculus equations, and Tucker on a deserted island in his boxers with no technology).

His sword is also one of the few things that dwell in the Ghost Zone that has a corporeal form, as Danny was able to grasp it in his human state, though it seems to lose this quality upon entering the real world. Fright Knight also rides around on a bat-winged Pegasus ghost known as Nightmare.

Danny, however, managed to trap him inside a pumpkin by placing his sword inside and saying the poem to seal him within it.

Season 2[]

He returned in "Reign Storm", where it is revealed that he was a servant of Pariah Dark. He helps his master take over Amity Park, but at the end, turns into one of the many ghosts who turn against the king. He also apparently made a deal with Vlad Plasmius, though it is unknown what that deal is.

It is most likely that he works for Vlad now. In the end, he appears right behind Vlad to help Danny trap the king. He now follows no one until the next time someone opens the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.

In the beginning of "The Ultimate Enemy", he works for Dark Danny in an alternate future. He attacks Valerie after the Ghost Shield goes down and basically chases her into Fenton Works.

Season 3[]

He made a cameo in "Frightmare" in a dream sequence of Danny's while he was under a sleep spell from Nocturn. Danny manage to defeat the Fright Knight using his cryokinesis.

Fright Knight's final appearance is in the series finale, "Phantom Planet". He is one of the many ghosts who help Danny and Skulker turn the entire planet intangible, so that an asteroid can safely pass through it.

Graphic novel[]

Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time[]

TBA

Appearance[]

He has extremely long purple hair and green eyes. His body was unseen due to his attire, which consisted of black full-body armor with a black helmet that obscured his face and a mohawk of spikes on top, along with gray shoulder guards and a white skull at the center of his waist. He also wore a purple cape like his hair, a hood of fire, gray flaming gauntlets, and flaming boots. He is often seen wielding the Soul Shredder, a sword which glowed a ghostly green.

Personality[]

A ruthless knight, Fright Knight lives to strike fear into the hearts of anyone he's against. If that doesn't work, he prefers to fight his way, using his skills to proclaim his superiority.

It seems he either teams up or works for anyone whom might be of potential benefit to him. This ranges from Pariah Dark, a ghost capable of subduing others with his power, to Plasmius, who suggests making a deal between the two of them.

Also, in the future, he served under Dark Danny. As, he conjured both the Ghost Zone and Earth. As, Valerie put it "Dad, the Fright Knight's here, which means he can't be far behind". Implying that Dark Danny has him warm up his victims first before he joins in.

He also appears to have a flair for dramatics, likes to do poetry, and does nearly everything in a dramatic way, like bellowing his warning to Danny and Vlad in the form of a poem.

Nightmare[]

Nightmare is Fright Knight's horse, a giant bat-winged Alicorn, with sharp fangs and teeth, red eyes, a horn on the top of his head, and a flaming green mane, with a tail and hooves (similar to Fright Knight's own cape).

Nightmare is also presumably male according to the lack of eyelashes and the sound of his neighing. He also has armor around his head and neck with an insignia of a pumpkin with bones going through it (Like the skull and crossbones of a pirate's flag).

As shown in "Fright Night," he and his master are trapped in a pumpkin, but Nightmare has to be released separately.

Powers and abilities[]

Powers[]

Fright Knight is an incredibly powerful ghost, enough to attract the attention of Vlad, who wanted him as his minion. These are the powers he has displayed, though it is unknown if he has more:

  • Intangibilityinvisibility and flight: He can fly by his own powers, sometimes aided by his horse, Nightmare, or by teleporting. His intangibility allows him to phase his hands through the Fenton Ghost Portal and open it, unlike most ghosts.
  • Ghost Ray: He is able to fire pink ghost rays from his eyes. Often used as a primary ability, such as shooting down Danny for taking his famed Soul Shredder. With the Soul Shredder he can fire green color ghost rays.
    • Flaming Crystal Meteor: The Fright Knight can also shape his ghost energy to create/summon and throw purple flaming crystal meteors that are engulfed in purple flames and have incredible destructive power that is extremely powerful, as it explodes and causes damage upon impact. The size of the crystal meteor can vary based on his desire.
  • Supernatural strength: The Fright Knight is able to lift someone off the ground with little effort and throw them through walls with little more than a mere move of his hand, as well as open the doors to the Fenton Portal and break the walls, very easily. He is also able to knock a person or ghost unconscious with one punch and hold ghosts as strong as Vlad Plasmius in an unbreakable grip with one hand.
  • Supernatural Durability: Fright Knight is considerably durable, as shown during both of his main appearances. Physical attacks have little if any effect on him. Only the greatest physical force, energy beams and explosions can damage him, but they will only stop him for a short while before he returns to the fight, showing no wounds whatsoever. In "Fright Night", Danny threw him at a giant clock, which only disoriented him briefly. In "Reign Storm", he survived the combined attacks of Valerie, Danny, and Vlad without any visible wound or injury, the only result being that he was left stunned for a few moments.
  • Supernatural Stamina: He can fight for seemingly hours on end without having any signs of fatigue.
  • Teleportation: He can do so with both his sword's power and his own, disappearing in an explosion of bats (though he only seems to do this under his own power, rather than the sword). He can teleport himself anywhere. With the sword he is able to teleport in a bolt of lightning.
  • Telekinesis: In "Reign Storm," he was able to summon his sword from a long distance.
  • Nightmare Summoning: The Fright Knight can summon his horse, Nightmare, that he uses for transportation.

Abilities[]

  • Swordsmanship: He is very skilled in the art of swordsmanship.
  • Poet: He can make up poems on the spot.

Equipment[]

  • Soul Shredder: In addition to his powers, he also gets others from his sword, which is the container of most of his powers. It is both the Fright Knight's greatest power and his main weakness. The sword can be used by everyone. However, only the Fright Knight knows how to use all of its powers, while other users can only use those powers that require physical contact with the edge of the sword.

Weaknesses[]

  • Standard Ghost Weakness: Like other ghosts, his isn't immune to the standard ghost weakness like Anti-Ghost weapons.
  • Pumpkins: His main weakness is that if someone puts his sword inside a pumpkin (even a toy pumpkin) and recites the following verse he is sent back to the Ghost Zone. The poem is as follows:
To cease the storm
 
to end the fear
 
the sword must sheath
 
in pumpkin near.

  • "Go, and find the King's Ring!"
  • "The King's prize, return it!"
  • "Fool. All I wanted to do was to seize the ring and return to Pariah's Keep, but now you give me no choice! By the authority vested in me by my Lord and Liege... I claim this town, now and forever, under the banner of Lord Pariah, THE KING OF ALL GHOSTS!"
  • "The sword is sunk, your die now cast! The sword removed shall signal fast. Make reappear the ring thou hast, or your next day shall be your last!"

Trivia[]

  • Fright Knight shares some similarities with Ares from DC Comics.
  • His horse’s name may be a pun because "mare" is a synonym for "horse", thus implying his name is a pun for "Night-Mare".
  • Fright Knight could be seen as a Neutral Evil. As in the Nickelodeon comic "Bring Back My Body to Me" he is willing to let Danny go and punish Vlad for stealing from him.
