Henry and Orville are a pair of twin ghosts in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They are the sons of Neville and Lydia and the elder brothers of Chauncey. Both twins have teal skin, blond hair, and glowing green eyes. One twin wears a purple-tinted long-sleeved shirt with a purple stripe on each end, covered by a purple vest. The other twin’s shirt and the stripes on each end are yellow, and his vest is red with gold buttons. Henry is named after the automobile entrepreneur Henry Ford and Orville after the flight entrepreneur Orville Wright. It is not specified in-game which name belongs to which twin. Presumably, based on the toy vehicles the twins use in battle, the boy in the purple vest is Henry and the boy in the red vest is Orville. The twins' portrait number in the Gallery is 14.[1]
Henry and Orville are found in the Twins' Room, where they show up after Luigi uses his Poltergust 3000 to twirl around a helicopter mobile on the ceiling. The twins decide to play hide-and-seek with Luigi. Following their instructions, Luigi goes outside the room and then re-enters to find five boxes. He can use an element from the Poltergust 3000 to easily determine which boxes each of them are hiding in. The twins become mad and accuse Luigi of cheating before sealing the door. True to their namesakes, one boy gets on a toy car and the other on a toy airplane. The boy on the car attacks by trying to drive into Luigi, while the boy on the airplane does so by throwing bombs down. Both brothers’ attacks will inflict ten HP of damage. Luigi can vacuum in a twin after vacuuming them off of their vehicle, though only the boy on the airplane drops pearls. When Henry and Orville are caught, a treasure chest with Mario's Shoe spawns. In the remake's Hidden Mansion, Henry and Orville are optional because Mario's Shoe is in the Billiards Room instead.
