Duplighost



Duplighosts are ghost-like creatures that can take on the appearance, voice and abilities of other people. They were first seen in Paper Mario at the Toad Town Dojo. That was where Lee, a blue-sheeted Duplighost, fought Mario. To attack, Duplighosts can either fly into Mario, or turn into his partner. In partner form, a Duplighost's attacks are weaker, and changing takes up a move, giving Mario a better chance at winning the battle. They mostly appear in Chapter 7 in the Crystal Palace and try to fool Mario often. Because of all the mirrors in the palace, the reflections make it tricky to determine whether a character is the real thing, or a Duplighost.

Another Duplighost appears in Bowser's Keep trying to trick Mario into believing he is Princess Peach. Mario can break the Duplighost's disguise by hammering the fake Princess repeatedly.

Hi this used to be something retarded but it's so fixed now

"Duplighost" is word play on "duplicate", one of their moves.

 * Not in Disguise: This is a Duplighost. Duplighosts disguise themselves as members of our party. They love to attack in disguise. It seems like they're generally stronger fighters when they're not disguised, though.


 * Disguised as Goombario: It's a Duplighost disguised as me. It'll do Headbonk and Tattle. That looks nothing like me. Does it? No! Seriously though, does it? Mario? Hello? Look, I've been working out like crazy trying to get in shape for adventuring. There's just no way I'm that pudgy!


 * Disguised as Kooper: It's a Duplighost disguised as Kooper. This impostor almost looks better than the original! Ha! Its disguise is pretty much perfect. Its attack power is exactly the same as the character it's imitating. It's probably not very difficult for this Duplighost to disguise itself as Kooper. After all, our pal is pretty unusual looking. It'll attack us with its shell, just like the regular Kooper. You'll have the best luck beating it if you flip it.
