A Bomb Brother is one of the five types of boss ghosts encountered in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon's ScareScraper. Two of them may be randomly found on every floor that is a multiple of five, barring the top floor. They are boss versions of Greenies. Bomb Brothers look like normal Greenies, except they are much larger and have yellow skin rather than green. Their skin is darker than that of Gold Greenies. Besides the regular one, there are eight variations of Bomb Brothers, that feature different patterns on their bodies, but behave in the same way.
Bomb Brothers attack similarly to normal Greenies. When they first appear in battle, they will be carrying a large Bomb. In order to make them vulnerable, they must shine the Dark-Light Device on them or remove the bomb from their hands. When they drop the bomb, it will have its fuse lit and explode shortly after. While a Bomb Brother is being vacuumed using the Poltergust 5000, it will drop small bombs that will detonate if they come in contact with one of the Luigis or if the fuse burns out. Bomb Brothers can also attack by punching the Luigis. During the battle, different variations of Greenies, such as normal Greenies, Greenies holding objects, masked Greenies, or even Strong Greenies will appear during the battle to hinder them.
All of the Bomb Brother reskins appear in Luigi's Mansion Arcade, where they have the same size and attack pattern as normal Greenies and are not specifically named. One steals a key in Old Clockworks and is invisible until directly before it is caught. Later, a selection will appear in the Treacherous Mansion. The specific types change with each playthrough.
Variations[edit]
Fright Knight[edit]
The Fright Knight is a large Greenie wearing a suit of armor. Only his face and the bottom of his hands are visible. This boss is based on a knight.
Blue Pimpernel[edit]
The Blue Pimpernel is a large Greenie with blue flowers placed around his body. This boss is based on the Anagallis foemina flower, more commonly known as a pimpernel.
Spookumber[edit]
The Spookumber (Melon-choly in the British English version) is a pale green Greenie with dark green stripes going vertically across his body. This boss is based on a cucumber, though the British English version refers to him as a melon.

Dreadonfly[edit]
This Dreadonfly is a large, dark-green Greenie with green stripes of different shades going across his body. He has red circles around his eyes which are supposed to represent bug-eyes while he has a bug wing pattern on his arms. This boss is based off the dragonfly.

Descriptions[edit]
Ghost Container[edit]
These identical twin brothers sure have a blast playing with bombs!
- Fright Night
- English (United States):
Rumor has it that this Greenie comes from the middle ages, where he was a knight searching for a princess. Sadly, wherever he went, she always seemed to be in another castle.[a] - English (United Kingdom):
Rumour has it that this Greenie comes from the middle ages, where he was a knight searching for a kidnapped princess. Sadly, wherever he went, she always seemed to be in another castle.*
- ^ This is a reference to the famous quote from the original Super Mario Bros., where, after Mario beats a fake Bowser, the prisoner mushroom retainer says the princess is in another castle.
- Blue Pimpernel
- English (United States):
I imagine he would have chosen green instead of blue, but green flowers are surprisingly difficult to find. Go figure. - English (United Kingdom):
I imagine he would have chosen green instead of blue, but green flowers are surprisingly difficult to find. Who would've guessed?
- Spookumber
- English (United States):
He may look like one of my favorite vegetables, but this ghost didn't come from a creeping vine. More like a creepy vine, right? - English (United Kingdom):
Although his body looks like a big ol' melon, the vertical stripes have a slimming effect.
- Spooky Spook
- English (United States):
That's not a costume. He always dresses like that. Seriously. - English (United Kingdom):
He's not in costume; he's just really retro.
- Dreadonfly
He doesn't have two pairs of wings. In fact, he doesn't have any wings. What good are wings to a ghost?
- Horrorca
Fascinating! This ghost appears to speak fluent Whale!
- Bad-minton
- English (United States):
He tries to act like a roughneck, but he secretly loves argyle sweater-vests. I'm pretty sure he comes from old money. - English (United Kingdom):
He's not bad, per se. He's just...really mischievous.
- Awelligator
- English (United States):
Much like a real gator, he hides under water until someone steps a little too close. - English (United Kingdom):
Much like a real alligator, he hides under the water until someone steps a little too close.
