The Orbs, or Sentinels, are fictional items featured in the Phantasm film series. They first appeared in the 1979 sci-fi/horror movie Phantasm, and are considered a trademark staple of the franchise.
Description[]
The Sentinels are spherical robot orbs that can fly about and target human victims. They obey the whims of the Tall Man, and can produce blades designed for stabbing its victims. There are different types of orbs, ranging in different colors from silver to gold to black. Each one possesses unique properties.
The Tall Man typically amputates the minds of his victims by placing their brains within the Sentinel devices, thus creating Lurkers and Sentinels simultaneously. The Silver Sentinels patrol the Tall Man's territory and seem to attack mainly on instinct, as they are capable of harming the Tall Man himself if he is caught offguard. The Silver Setinels also double as keys in the Tall Man's lair. Which has doors that can be only open through a special lock in the shape of concave hemisphere with two slits to fit the prongs.
