The Darkers (ダーカー), known Falspawn in the NA localization, are dark creatures which travel the universe in search of planets and creatures to corrupt and consume in Phantasy Star Online 2. The enemy of ARKS, they have the ability to twist space for their own benefit; most notably, they can teleport over long distances. There are many different kinds of Darker, each with its own special traits, and each led by a particular Dark Falz. Their corrupted variation in Ultimate Quests are referred to as DA-Aberrations. When confronted with the presence of native species of any planet, Darkers will turn and fight against them and will typically triumph. Almost all Darkers have a glowing, red core which takes extra damage when struck.
