Ghost Guys (originally known as masked ghosts,[1][2][3] Maskboos,[4] or simply Shy Guys[5]) are a type of ghost in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They wear robes of varying colors and eyeless Shy Guy masks. Ghost Guys are equipped with pitchforks resembling those carried by Beezos. All Ghost Guys have 20 HP. A Ghost Guy's mask falls off when using the Poltergust 3000 on it, revealing two yellow eyes and a small black hole for a mouth set on the hoods that they wear and leaving them vulnerable to a flashlight stun. There are two types between Ghost Guy colors: ones with plain white masks appear in red and green and will pursue Luigi slowly, with the red type jabbing at him and the green type twirling the spear when close enough; this type appears in the Astral Hall. A variant called the dancing Ghost Guy is also introduced in the game.
