Grabbing Ghost

Grabbing Ghosts are ghosts from the game Luigi's Mansion.

Grabbing Ghosts are usually found in groups of their own kind. They attack by grabbing hold of Luigi from behind and squeezing him. The player had to shake the Control Stick to throw off a Grabbing Ghost.

The weakest Grabbing Ghost is white and has ten Heart Points, while all other types have twenty. The white type cannot damage Luigi, but will still attempt to grab him, leaving him vulnerable to attacks from another ghost. Red Grabbing Ghosts will damage Luigi from 5-13 points of damage, letting go if the plumber takes the maximum amount of damage. Turquoise Grabbing Ghosts can become completely invisible (unless Luigi stuns one with his flashlight). Their reflections in a mirror in the Mirror Room reveal their location. Another hint to their location is a small puff of dust that appears when they materialize. Later, Purple Grabbing Ghosts would appear, whom Luigi had to detect via their silhouette cast by a projector on a movie screen in the Projection Room. They too can be seen by dust. The later two types are otherwise identical to the red type. All of these ghosts can be hurt by any element very well.
