Lantern Ghost



Lantern Ghosts are lantern-carrying spectres that closely resemble a cross between a Duplighost and a Shy Guy. Their smile also makes them resemble the trees from the Forest of Illusion and, despite hating the light and loving the dark, Lantern Ghosts can never be found without a lit lantern. They have close ties with Shy Guys, as seen in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Paper Mario, and Yoshi's Island DS. In Yoshi's Island they are in the cave levels, and almost always in the darkest parts so only their lanterns' light is seen.

Several Lantern Ghosts appear in the basement of the horror condo in Mario Party Advance; they are a part of the Toad Force V fan club.

There is a possibility that the light in the lantern is a Li'l Sparky, as it was in Paper Mario.
