Shivers

"Ah, the beautiful Melody will not even give me the time of day... What must I do to win her? Passion! Yes! That's it! I will show her I burn for her! My unbridled passion will scorch her soul!"

Shivers, the Wandering Butler (Japanese: セ・ノバスチャン Se Nobasu-chan) is one of the portrait ghosts that was freed by King Boo in Luigi's Mansion.

In life, Shivers served as a butler for his unnamed master, and died at the age of 72. According to the Game Boy Horror, he wanders around aimlessly looking for the will he thinks his last master left and hoping he is in it. He is afraid of fire to the point that when he sees it, he runs in fear. He is smitten with the beautiful Melody Pianissima, but it seems that she does not return his affections at all.

After The Floating Whirlindas are captured, Shivers can be found wandering the north corridor of the first floor hallway and appears as nothing but a floating candelabra. When the Poltergust 3000 gains the ability to expel flames, Luigi uses this ability to light the candles Shivers is holding to cause him to panic and run into the Butler's Room, despite the fact that he initially rushed off in the wrong direction. Luigi follows him to the Butler's Room where Shivers sits in relaxation until he accidentally puts the lit candlestick under him, causing him to start screaming and rolling around in his chair because he accidentally set fire to himself. The green plumber realizes Shivers was as vulnerable as ever at that point, and sucked up the poor butler. If Luigi vacuums Shivers but does not capture him in one try, Shivers will reappear at the entrance of the room, and if he does not vacuum the ghost up quickly, he'd leave the room entirely and return to the upper hall.

After Luigi sucks up this frightful butler, the lights came on, and he earns the key to the Conservatory, outside of which Shivers had often floated with his candelabra. Inside the Conservatory, Luigi gets the chance to capture the next portrait ghost, which appropriately enough, was Melody Pianissima.

Physical Appearance
Shivers has a long face with a square jaw. He has a blue-green skin color and unlike many other ghosts he has green eyes. He has gelled back purple hair which forms a vampire-like widow's peak at his hairline; this look is furthered by Shiver's coat, which is black and has a red collar. Under his unbuttoned coat, Shivers wears a light purple shirt that has gold buttons and a maroon bow-tie.
