The Ghosts

TYPE - ECTOPLAST

Close your eyes and think of a ghost, won't you? Disregarding your lack of eye lids, what you've pictured within your mind's eye is most likely an Ectoplast. The perfect beginner ghost to saddle within. Slippery in movement and to the touch, Ectoplasts are effective haunters and exceptional for learning the ropes.

Winky ghost character

The Ghosts

Winky

Meet Winky. Shall I give you one guess where it acquired that name? This f-eye-sty Ghost can summon a delightfully disgusting puddle of sludge, capable of smothering a large area.

Pokey

The Ghosts

Pokey

Lovely Pokey. You'd think with a spikey little one like this, you're better off keeping your distance. But this Ghostie actually fancies themself a bit of a marksman, having honed their long range Ecto Torpedo.

Brainy ghost character

The Ghosts

Brainy

This chap's Brainy. And before you say anything, yes, Brainy's dim as a doorknob. But what they lack in intellect, they more than make up for in hurling massive globs of slime.

Slimer ghost character

The Ghosts

Slimer

Ah, the infamous Slimer. Can we ever be certain where this insatiable entity's allegiance truly lies? Perhaps not, but what we can be certain of is the hideous amount of noxious slime they can produce in an instant.

The Ghosts

TYPE - GHOULY

Looking for a Ghost filled with terrifying aggression? Aren't we all! Take sight, if you dare, of the Ghouly. This class of spectral menace specializes in getting up close and personal. Every encounter leaves its victims filled with extra fear and... insanity. The Ghouly is perfect for terrorizing "Bustwerps" and "shrillvilians" alike.

Drake ghost character

The Ghosts

Drake

Perhaps the inspiration for "devils" as we know them in literature, the Drake is a fiery, red fiend with a penchant for possessing lesser, worried living humans. Love the Drake.

Infernal ghost character

The Ghosts

Infernal

If gloom had a name, it would be Infernal. While I must admit the chain-draped aesthetic is a bit much, even for me, it's a necessity for something with a mastery of and born from pure darkness.

Wraith ghost character

The Ghosts

Wraith

Imagine, if you will, the embodiment of concentrated fear. The Wraith is a glorious and violent creature that seeks to manifest horror with a Nightmare Pulse of pure psychokinetic energy.

The Ghosts

TYPE - BASHER

Most spectral entities prefer to be subtle in their torment of the living. Not so much with the Basher. An otherworldly manifestation built to destroy everything they can! Perhaps sneaking isn't your forte? This Ghost-type exists purely to put the BUMP in "bump in the night."

Lunk Ghost character

The Ghosts

Lunk

Lunk is the kind of Ghost that prefers working with their hands. Provided that work includes smashing anything and everything within their reach.

Squidler ghost character

The Ghosts

Squidler

With the Squidler and its monstrous tentacles everything is a weapon. Making a mess has never felt so... ghastly.

Gloom

The Ghosts

Gloom

Bashing isn't only a physical mindset. Courtesy of the Gloom, we've observed that it can be spectral as well. Crush and main from anywhere you choose!

The Ghosts

TYPE - HOWLER

So many of the living are afraid of what they see, but oftentimes forget that it's what they hear that will send shivers down their spine. This happens to be the Howler's area of expertise. They focus on sound to distract and confuse, building chaos as a means to flank and catch their victims off guard. Additionally, my studies have revealed that weaker Minion ghosts respond particularly well to the call of the Howler.

Shriek ghost character

The Ghosts

Shriek

Built to scream, Shriek is the perfect Howler. Not much in the way of personality, but their piercing scream will leave your ears ringing for hours.

Chomp ghost character

The Ghosts

Chomp

I can't recall the number of times I wished I could silence one of my colleagues. Here we are, on the other side, and Chomp has perfected such an ability with their Silence Shroud.

Bramble ghost character

The Ghosts

Bramble

The nightmarish words spoken by Bramble aren't necessarily meant for the living. Instead, it prefers to focus its voice on an ethereal creation of its own, the Floating Seeker.

The Ghosts

TYPE - POLTERGEIST

This Ghost type you MUST already know. A personal favorite of mine... the Poltergeist! As cruel as it is quick, and as savvy as it is SHOCKING. The Poltergeist uses electrical energy infused P.K.E. to wreak havoc on rudimentary ghost hunting gear.

Zappy

The Ghosts

Zappy

Zappy should've been named "Zippy" based on the way they dash around a location. I suppose the stunning surprise left in its wake may have informed its alias.

Gnasher ghost character

The Ghosts

Gnasher

Pain without healing. Such is the Gnasher, grizzled by time and experience. Its snare has become its greatest weapon as the Gnasher whips a powerful chain arc to jolt groups of the living.

Toxie ghost character

The Ghosts

Toxie

A personification of the living's environmental cruelty, Toxie is bathed in chemical brilliance. A mischievous maker or a reckoning called upon by the tortured Earth itself? I'll leave you to decide.

The Ghosts

TYPE - GLUTTON

Bereft of life, Ghosts are altogether insatiable beings. When it comes to frantically filling this soulless void, the Glutton takes the cake. And the table… the chairs… everything in close proximity. You see, the more a Glutton consumes, the stronger it grows. The world is this ghoul’s buffet and this desperate, greedy, little Glutton is always ready for seconds.

The Ghosts

Muncher

While it’s been dubbed “Muncher,” one could argue that “wholesale devour” may be a more eponymous title. The largest appetite of all the Gluttons I’ve observed! While Muncher has the capacity to eat through several tons of inanimate waste, it's shown a unique preference for objects of a metallic nature which provide Munchers with bonus “bloat;” a phrase I never believed an intellectual, like myself, would ever have to write. When Muncher has its full, it can reform that refuse into small pellets of destructive force.

The Ghosts

Spew

What goes down must come up, or so is the motto of the Spew. And when this Ghost reaches its fill, it unleashes a tornado of yucky destruction.

The Ghosts

Heap

Heap is a floating pressure cooker of trash. Its ectoplasmic body creates a sticky plaster around anything it consumes, clumping scraps together inside itself to be used however it may see fit later. If you believed junk stunk before, behold what happens when Heap hurls.

The Ghosts

TYPE - POSSESSOR

The demonic Possessor is a beast-like monster with extreme brute force that can sniff out a scared Buster like a slab of rotting beef. Slow on the prowl and perhaps not the most agile of creatures, the Possessor compensates for its bulky lumbering by living up to its moniker; haunting objects with a ferocious, unbridled speed…not to mention possessing the occasional Ghostbuster or two…

The Ghosts

Terror Sentinel

For the Terror Sentinel, everything is possessable. Sure, it's the specialty of this entire ghost type, but only the Terror Sentinel can manage to turn the very walls that surround you, or the floors upon which you walk into a minefield of paranormal pain. This variant delights in luring the living into an inescapable situation so that it can unleash its horror upon them.

The Ghosts

Hellion

Determined to cause mischief with as much might as it can muster, the Hellion looks inward for its power, then - with a chilling roar - unleashes it upon the unwitting in decimating bursts. Ghostbusters who find themselves in the Hellion's path ask for nothing but slime, damage, and fear.

The Ghosts

Scuttle

Have you ever seen pure ethereal energy recomposed in the form of a beast? I doubt it. One couldn't imagine how dangerous an entity like that may be! Luckily, we needn't imagine. For this very creature exists... I'm referring to Scuttle. A name that, even I must admit, doesn't do justice to this effervescent creepy crawly. Nevertheless, Scuttle is a Possessor variant that can take control of the very air which surrounds it. When facing off with this glowing monstrosity, it won't just be its vibrant appearance that takes your breath away....

The Ghosts

TYPE - WATCHER

Who watches the Watcher? Our studies have unequivocally concluded that this ghost type is a particularly grotesque and elusive little creature. It’s safe to assume that before you ever notice a Watcher, it’s certainly already noticed you, courtesy of its giant external eye, attached via a disgusting semi-corporeal tendon. Watchers are known for sending its occult oculus hurtling toward intended scare targets and then either recoiling it back to its socket OR pulling its torso to the eye itself, phasing through anything that stands between them. So yes, quite hideous all around.

The Ghosts

Bug-Eye

Bug-Eye is a Watcher variant that wants all eyes on itself. Slippery as all get out, Bug-Eye is the kind of ghost that gets face-to-face with its victims. Count its victims quite unlucky that Bug-Eye is nearsighted. The thought of even a small bit of debris in my eye would send me reeling, but Bug-Eye has no issue using that big ball upon its cranium to torment the living.

The Ghosts

Gawk

It seems a bit daft to consider any ghost “mean,” but I couldn’t imagine describing a Gawk any other way.  Perhaps it caught a glimpse of itself in the mirror with that great big sentry upon its head? Of all the Watchers, the Gawk variant is the most ruthless. The tempest-like pupil isn’t just for hypnotic show either, it’s the source of a cold-hearted ability that will leave your spine tingling. Literally.

The Ghosts

Peeky

Peeky is the type of variant that, for lack of a better term, likes to keep an eye out.  Keeping its distance and striking when no one’s looking may be a strategy to accommodate Peeky’s intense shyness. A ghost? Shy? Why yes, it’s possible. Perhaps it’s the pulsing pustules on its torso, it’s walrus-like fangs, or maybe it’s just mildly introverted. Either way, I shan’t be the one to coax a Peeky out of its shell.
