Spooky is a four-year old bulldog portrait ghost in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. It is a lavender bulldog ghost with two paws in the front only and a ghostly tail at the back. It has small, pale blue eyes, a purplish black nose, droopy ears, and four large fangs in its lower jaw. Spooky wears a red spiked collar around its neck. It is known to bite any seemingly edible thing in sight. Like the other portrait ghosts, Spooky is released by King Boo after the capture of Boolossus.
Spooky is found resting in its doghouse in the Boneyard. When Spooky is approached, it notices Luigi and follows him, attempting to bite Luigi each time after barking. If Spooky does bite Luigi, it does not let go until Luigi shakes off Spooky, who flips into the air and whimpers. After Spooky barks four times, a Mr. Bones arrives to complain about the noise.[1] After Mr. Bones is caught by Luigi, one of its bones falls into the ground, leaving Spooky vulnerable to the Poltergust 3000 as it starts licking the bone.[2] After Spooky is caught, Luigi can continue on to the Graveyard.
There is a portrait in the Study of a bulldog resembling Spooky.
