Phase Beasts are four-legged creatures resembling a ghostly version of a goblin hound. They appear randomly and very rarely in the dungeons in Torchlight. Although they often flee and can be difficult to catch, when killed they will spawn a Phase Portal, leading to one of several Phase Dungeons, small side dungeons packed with loot, traps and monsters.
In Torchlight 2, they play largely the same role, but instead, each destination now contains some sort of challenge. If the player gets killed while inside and chooses to spawn in the town, he may not return to the portal.
Lore
Edit
| “ | Decendants of the mythical Goblin Hound of Middlemoor, Phase Beasts roam the countryside with little to fear from other creatures, save for the bravest of humans on the hunt for adventure.
Death releases from the beasts a portal to a pocket dimension similar to our own, but vastly different in its insidious nature. What lies beyond the seductive red glow of the portal differs with the changing landscape, but the ultimate destination is always the same; A rich prize of overflowing treasure chests, free for the taking! So as long as the adventurer can defeat the rabid army of fiends defending it! No one knows what purpose the Phase Beasts truly serve, other than being targets for the bold, meat grinders for the weak, a tasty snack for those with an apppetite for such strange flesh. Some speculate they were amusement for a race far superior to any known, small diversions perhaps, in an even greater game the Gods only know. | ” |

ConsoleEdit
According to the console, there are different Phasebeasts for each possible location that you can be teleported to. e.g. You type in 'Phasebeastruin' into the console, a Phase Beast appears, but when you kill it the portal would take you to a Orden Mines-tileset location, e.g. Secret mines.
