Dr. Potter
Template:More images Template:LMDMghost-infobox
Dr. Potter is the seventh boss encountered in Luigi's Mansion 3. He is encountered and fought on Floor 7 after Luigi locates him at the greenhouse. Defeating Dr. Potter rewards Luigi with the elevator button to the eighth floor.
Appearance
Luigi finds the eighth floor button seemingly unguarded, although before he can fully celebrate, he finds a watering can that causes a sapling to grow into a venus flytrap, with Luigi accidentally feeding the button to the flytrap out of shock. Dr. Potter then reveals himself and taunts Luigi before watering more nutrients to the flytrap, causing it to become gargantuan in size. He then flees, although not before laughing one last time at Luigi.
After Luigi gets the button out of the venus flytrap (and is forced to backtrack back down to stable ground after dropping it to the ground), Dr. Potter then intercepts the button with a Venus Flytrap of his own and then confronts Luigi, although Dr. Potter unintentionally has his flytrap expose a buzzsaw.
Battle
Dr. Potter mainly relies on his venus flytrap's various lunges as its attacks.
To beat Dr. Potter, the player has to bait Dr. Potter's flytrap into attacking a plant bud and getting itself stuck on it. Afterwards, the player(s) need(s) to grab the buzzsaw and sever the plant's stem, exposing Dr. Potter to attack. After expending all his HP, he will struggle to escape from the Poltergust G-00, only for his beard to get caught inside as well and easily pulling him in, although not before tossing the elevator button onto an inaccessible ledge. Fortunately, the player only needs to use the nutrient can to create a vine to reach it.
