Bogmire

Bogmire, the Cemetery Shadow, is a purple portrait ghost of unknown age that resided in the Graveyard of Luigi's Mansion.



Bogmire is the manifestation of the mansionâ€™s fear and despair, although the powerful ghost itself does not know who to fear or what to despair. Strangely, Bogmire does not cast a shadow, but can summon shadowy duplicates of himself. He can also teleport around an area with a flash of lightning. Bogmire was the boss of the second area of Luigiâ€™s Mansion.

Luigi encountered the powerful Bogmire during his quest to save his brother Mario from King Boo. During Luigiâ€™s investigation of the Graveyard, the green-clad hero discovered three Mr. Bones hiding in the tombstones. After dispatching them with the Poltergust 3000, the main headstone began to glow. As Luigi approached the stone, Bogmire revealed himself and transported Luigi to his cemetery lair.

Once in the lair, Luigi and Bogmire began to battle. To attack the novice ghost hunter, Bogmire created shadowy clones of himself, ranging from normal-sized ghosts to enormous duplicates. These shadowy spirits would then attack Luigi as Bogmire warped around the arena, avoiding the green-clad hero. Unfortunately, Luigi discovered he could not suck Bogmire up with the Poltergust 3000. To capture Bogmire, Luigi had to pull in one of Bogmireâ€™s shadow clones with the Poltergust. The ghost would then form into a shadowy ball at the end of Luigiâ€™s vacuum weapon. The plumber could then fire the shadow ball at Bogmire, surrounding the ghost in darkness and rendering him vulnerable. With the ghostâ€™s heart revealed, Luigi could finally use the Poltergust against Bogmire. However, as Luigi was pulling the powerful ghost in, the plumber also had to avoid the shadowy duplicates who converged on his position, hoping to free Bogmire and injure Luigi. Eventually, after a hard battle, Luigi emerged the victor and captured Bogmire. Returning to the Graveyard, Luigi discovered the key to the Courtyard and the next leg of his journey began.
