Bogmire is a portrait ghost in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. He is a shadowy purple ghost with outstretched arms, a large mouth, and yellow eyes. Bogmire is the manifestation of the mansion's fear and despair; he does not speak (making him the only area boss without any dialogue) and does not have a heart for the Game Boy Horror to examine.
Bogmire is the boss of Area Two. He is encountered in the Graveyard where Luigi can fight him after catching every Mr. Bones, resulting in the large headstone glowing. As Luigi approaches the headstone, lightning strikes as Bogmire emerges from the ground. After jumping back in horror, Luigi is sent to an unknown arena, where a large copy of Bogmire comes out and approaches him, while several others also appear in the field. Unlike the real Bogmire, these shadowy copies are transparent, with a small white outline showing their general shapes and a black shadow on their base. The copies also come in two sizes, with small ones being about as big as Luigi and large ones being nearly twice his size. The smaller ones are easier to suck up, but the larger ones can deal more damage to Bogmire. Bogmire himself teleports around the arena, with his shadow and lightning strikes relaying his presence. Bogmire does not attack, but his shadow does spawn one shadowy clone of his at a time, which do attack Luigi by slowly lurching towards him. Some time after the Bogmire copies spawn, Bogmire and his shadow vanish, and Bogmire spawns elsewhere.
Using his Poltergust 3000, Luigi can suck up a Bogmire copy, which gets stuck on the nozzle into a ball shape, and then launch it at Bogmire. Alternatively, shooting it anywhere else causes the ball to fall apart, destroying the copy. Upon being hit, Bogmire gets trapped into a shadowy bubble, becoming vulnerable to the Poltergust 3000.[1] Once Luigi starts sucking up Bogmire, he will try to pull Luigi through any active shoadowy copies on the field to break him off and cause damage; usually, Bogmire succeeds in breaking free of the grasp after a few seconds. After Bogmire loses specific amounts of his health, lightning strikes will begin producing a few Bogmire copies at a time as well. Once Bogmire is caught, Luigi returns to the Graveyard, where a large chest with the key to the Courtyard appears.
