Phighters are playable characters within the PHIGHTING! universe.

Lore

Biology

• All Phighters possess some form of horns, except in cases where they are removed, such as Hyperlaser.
  • Phighters sleep in netted beds as to not disturb their horns.
  • Phighters sometimes engage in horn fights.
  • Phighter horns are bone, and can be styled similarly to nails (e.g. painting them, Rocket carving his horns to look like Zuka's). Carving horns does require maintenance - it is not a permanent alteration.
  • Younger Phighters can regrow their horns quickly, whereas older Phighters will not at all. If the entirety of one’s horns is removed, they will die.
• Phighters do not excrete waste other than sweat.
• Phighters can get sick, they are organic beings and need to be cared for/take care of themselves.
• The average lifespan of Phighters is similar to the lifespan of humans.
  • Despite this, many die young due to the violent nature of the world around them.
• There are no biological differences between regions.
• Phighters do not need to sleep or eat, although they still can if they choose.
• Phighters do not have a sex or reproductive organs, they only have preferred pronouns.
  • Phighters can only reproduce through The Spawn.
• Each Phighter is born with a gear, and instinctively knows how to use it.
  • There can be duplicates of gears.

Phighters have been teased through various means on the Boggio community server, or in-game. Following Playtest 1, a fill-in-the-blank roadmap was given to the public, which reveals the Phighters of the game's base roster. Note: The list of teasers does not include the ones given to server boosters. The fill-in-the-blank is not finalized, changes may occur.
