An Amok is a magically charged blue feather that manifests a Sentimonster from a person's emotions.
The feathers are used by Mayura, Shadow Moth, and Argos, while Ladybug and Cat Noir are tasked with capturing and purifying them.
Appearance[]
Before it is turned into an Amok by the Peacock Miraculous Holder the feather is pure white. However, once it becomes an Amok, it turns blue.
Creation and Abilities[]
The Peacock Miraculous owner creates an Amok by taking a feather from their hand fan and charge it with magical energy.
The purpose of an Amok is to be sent off to possess an object belonging to a person with strong emotions, resulting in the establishment of a telepathic connection between the person and the Peacock Miraculous owner.
The Peacock Miraculous holder senses an amok's presence in the Dormant sentimonster.
Once the person agrees to allow their emotions be manifested, the object containing the Amok releases a magical dark-blue ether that manifests a living creature.
The Amok can squeeze through impossibly small spaces, even being able to move through the seal of a window pane.
The Peacock Miraculous owner can sense the presence of Amoks and either reactivate or revoke them, even if they belong to Sentimonsters that were manifested by a different Peacock Miraculous owner.

Ladybug releasing a former Amok that was reverted back into a feather.
An Amok leaves the object it inhabits after its broken/damaged/destroyed. From there, Ladybug can catch it with her yo-yo in order to "de-evilize" it by removing the magical energy from it. Afterward, once the Amok reverts back to being a normal feather, she releases it.

Trivia[]
- The phrase "running amok" is based on a Malaysian/Indonesian spiritual belief, where the state of "amok" was caused by a spiritual tiger being entering one's body and caused them to commit wild and violent acts. As a culture-bound syndrome, an individual, having displayed no previous signs of anger or violent tendencies, will suddenly acquire a weapon and begin to attempt to harm themselves and those around them.[1]
- Ironically, the real concept of amok is more similar to Akumatization.
- It is unknown what happens to an Amok if it isn't purified or where it goes after it's purified.
- It's unknown whether the Magical Charms protect their owners from amokization.
- In "Guiltrip", Rose Lavillant becomes the first person to notice an amok before it reaches its target.
- Unlike akumatized objects, which turn dark purple when an akuma has entered them, amokized objects remain the same.
- In "Reflekdoll", the amokized object, a hairclip, did transform along with its owner.
- Sometimes, when an amok possesses an object, it makes the same sound that an akuma makes when possessing an object. Other times, it makes another, original sound.
- It's unknown if this is intentional, or just an error.
- If an amokized object is akumatized, it's possible to break to object to free the akuma, while preventing the amok from leaving. Due to intentions playing a part in the Miraculous rules, if someone breaks an object with only the intent of freeing the akuma, then it will come out as soon the object is broken.[2]
- However, it's likely that the amok's exit is only delayed, meaning that, unless the amokized object is fixed afterwards, like through the use of Miraculous Ladybug, the amok will get out eventually.
