'''Mr. Luggs, the Glutton''' is a thirty-year-old [[portrait ghost]] that was released from his canvas prison by [[King Boo]] immediately prior to the events of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. Mr. Luggs is an obese ghost, and as stated in his bio he even ate himself to death (the PAL bio was changed to say that Mr. Luggs "ate until he died"). However, even in death, Luggs is not satisfied, and spends his afterlife eating food in the [[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]] of [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Visually, Mr. Luggs may be a reference to Mr. Creosote, a character from ''{{wp|Monty Python's The Meaning of Life}}'', who was also an incredibly obese man who literally ate himself to death. [[Luigi]] can just walk by Mr. Luggs as he is eating and skip capturing him. If Luigi captures Luggs, Luigi is rewarded with money in a treasure chest. Mr. Luggs is the first optional portrait ghost in the game. His portrait number in [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]]'s gallery is 11.

Two Waiters attempt to resupply Mr. Luggs with more food. Once they are sucked in, his meal can not be refilled. Mr. Luggs becomes enraged and attacks Luigi by spewing fifteen fireballs at him. Each fireball deals ten HP of damage and briefly lights Luigi on fire. After spewing fifteen fireballs, Mr. Luggs quickly tires out, rendering him vulnerable to the Poltergust. If Luigi does not capture Mr. Luggs in time, Mr. Luggs gets back up and breathes five more fireballs before tiring again. Once Mr. Luggs is captured, the lights turn on, revealing a green treasure chest. Later on, in the Gallery, Mr. Luggs' portrait number is 11.

Trivia[edit]

  • Mr. Luggs' appearance (particularly his face shape), along with his gluttony and lack of table manners, may be a nod to Jabba the Hutt from Return of the Jedi.
  • Gobbers in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are similar to Mr. Luggs as they are both significantly overweight and use projectile attacks. Additionally, in the ScareScraper, if a Gobber appears, two Greenies holding food appear alongside it, similar to the two Waiters giving food to Mr. Luggs.
  • If Luigi captures a ghost in the hallway in front of dining room, sometimes Mr. Luggs' voice can be heard from the other side. This can only be triggered if the player has not unlocked the door to his room or if he is not captured yet.
