Phaaze is a creature comprised entirely of a mutation of phazon. What is Phazon? Phazon, as coined by the Space Pirates (formerly referred to as the "Great Poison" by the Chozo), is a highly radioactive substance originating from the planet Phaaze, known for its extreme mutagenic and energy producing properties. Though at first glance it seems to be only a radioactive substance, it is also organic and has displayed signs of sentience as well.
The substance has been responsible for the near-destruction of many worlds including Tallon IV of the Chozo and Aether of the Luminoth. In both cases, Phazon arrived on the planets via interstellar objects known as Leviathans. On Tallon IV, the Phazon devastated and poisoned the ecosystem, eventually destroying the Chozo civilization that existed there and corrupting its dead. On Aether, the Leviathan struck the planet and split it into two dimensions, driving the planet and its inhabitants into turmoil.
There have been very few mutations of the compound that were recognized. Among them, a rare form known as 'Red' Phazon and another form which underwent mutation due to exposure to a cosmic event. This radical mutation separated its link to Phaaze and spared it from becoming inert when Phaaze was ultimately destroyed.
Phaaze himself takes his name from an intercepted communication describing his home planet as 'Phaaze'. His form is rather indistinct, sometimes preferring to keep it mostly amorphous. When he does decide to pull himself together he takes a humanoid form usually, something akin to a rabbit. Though he is incapable of replicating anything too exactly he does manage to pull of a rather interesting teal colored bunny when he manipulates himself right.
That said he's not to be toyed with. He's still radioactive ya know? While he can control that aspect somewhat it's usually only for what he absorbs.
