Description
Although nothing more than an illusion, the Lost Souls creates projections of horrifying images in order to out fear into the hearts of opponents.

History
During his visit to Shanazar, Sonic was made to accompany Grand Vizier Doctor Ovi Kintobor on a suicide mission to the Mystic Mountain. Inside, Sonic was warned not to ask too many questions to the Mystic Genies, but did so anyway. This disobedience led to the genies appearing to send Sonic to another world, marked by towers of bones topped by hyenas. Sonic held on to one such tower as the pink, goblin-like creatures began to grab and pull him down. The hedgehog remarked that his blood felt like ice and he could barely move, allowing the Lost Souls to drag him into oblivion. Fortunately, the horrified Sonic was soon returned to the land of the living and advised not to ask any more questions.

Later on, Sonic destroyed the Mystic Globe, angering the genies once again. As punishment, Sonic and the chosen children of Shanazar has the Lost Souls illusion cast on them once again. Realizing that this technique was only an illusion and the only power the genies had without a host, Sonic commanded the children to all hold hands and close their eyes. Soon enough, the Lost Souls disappeared.
