Resident demon

The Resident Demon is a large skeletal demon/ghost found in Donkey Kong 64.

The Resident Demon is found in the Ghost Train Ride, a mini-quest in the area Creepy Castle. After Donkey Kong uses his Gorilla Grab on several levers in the Skull Cave he will gain acess to the Ghost Train Ride.

The Resident Demon will attempt to attack Donkey with it's disembodied claws, each hit from this ghastly specter will cause Donkey to lose some of the coins he has collected. The Demon can not be hurt in anyway, Donkey must avoid it's slashes and punches by jumping from rail track to rail track.

If Donkey manages to collect twenty-five coins and finish the Ghost Train Ride he will gain a Golden Banana.

Trivia
The Resident Demon is somewhat similar in appearance to a Kackle, another ghostly skeletal Kremling.
