Mr. Luggs

Mr. Luggs, the Glutton (Japanese: ター・ハン Tā Han), is a thirty-year-old portrait ghost that was released from his canvas prison by King Boo immediately prior to the events of Luigi's Mansion. As his moniker suggests, Mr. Luggs is very obese and prefers all-you-can-eat buffets to three meals a day. In fact, Mr. Luggs actually died by overeating. However, even in death Luggs was not satisfied, and spent his afterlife eating food in the Dining Room of Luigi's Mansion. Luigi did not need to capture Mr. Luggs to help him in the quest to find his brother Mario. After acquiring the key to the Dining Room, Luigi could simply pass Mr. Luggs and head into the Kitchen. However, if Luigi captured Luggs, the green-clad ghost hunter would be rewarded with lots of treasure.

If Luigi chose to capture Mr. Luggs, he would discover the Glutton next to the Dining Room table, shoving ghost jelly into his mouth. Peculiarly, Luggs ate in the dark, and after Luigi used the Game Boy Horror, Luggs' heart revealed that the gluttonous ghost preferred not to be seen. As such, Luigi captured a Fire Elemental Ghost from a nearby torch with his Poltergust 3000. The plumber then proceeded to shoot flames at the table's candles, setting them aflame. After lighting all the candles, Mr. Luggs and his dinner would become visible. However, Luggs could not be captured yet. To make Mr. Luggs vulnerable, Luigi began to suck up Mr. Luggs' ghost jelly with his trusty vacuum. Two Waiters would attempt to resupply Mr. Luggs with more jelly, from their serving plates to his. Luigi quickly disposed of them with the Poltergust. Eventually, when all the food was gone, Mr. Luggs would become enraged and attack Luigi by spewing fifteen fireballs at the green plumber. Each fireball caused ten HP of damage and would briefly light Luigi on fire. It would be best not to get close to the angry scarfer. However, due to his obesity, Mr. Luggs would quickly tire out and flop onto the table, rendering the portrait ghost vulnerable. Thus Luigi began to suck Mr. Luggs up with the Poltergust 3000. If he didn't, Mr. Luggs would get back up and breathe five more fireballs before tiring again. Although the portly ghost fought back with some strong pulls of his own, Luigi eventually emerged the victor.

After capturing Mr. Luggs, Luigi restored light to the Dining Room and a green treasure chest appeared. Inside the chest, Luigi discovered two Gold Bars and a Silver Diamond, among other minor treasures.

 * Mr. Luggs makes a small appearance in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in the Luigi's Mansion Battle Field as a painting on the wall.
 * Mr. Luggs likes to eat in the dark. However, when Luigi lights up the candles and he becomes visible, he doesn't seem to notice and continues eating thus suggesting that he loves food so much that he doesn't pay attention to his surroundings. Also, he does notice when all of his food is sucked up.
