'''Bogmire''' is a shadow [[Portrait Ghost]] and the boss of Area Two in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. He lives under a tombstone in the [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]]'s [[Graveyard]]. Although he has no relation to swamps, Bogmire's name is derived from two types of swamps, a "bog" and "quagmire". At one point, Bogmire was captured by [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] and turned into a portrait. Like the other ghosts in the gallery, he was released when [[King Boo]] broke in. Bogmire's portrait number in Professor E. Gadd's gallery is 19.

Gadd's gallery is 19; in the GameCube version, he is the only Portrait Ghost to display another enemy in the portrait, with his old frame picture depicting a [[Black Bogmire]].  
Bogmire is a purple ghost with a large mouth and yellow eyes. He has scythe-like arms. According to his [[Game Boy Horror]] entry, Bogmire is the manifestation of the mansion's fear and despair. He has the ability to teleport between locations in a flash of lightning. He can also replicate false, translucent, blob-like variants of himself, known as [[Black Bogmire]]s.

==Battle==
In the Graveyard, before his first encounter with Bogmire, [[Luigi]] must vacuum up a few [[Mr. Bones]] into his [[Poltergust 3000]]. By doing so, the large headstone begins to glow. After approaching it, a strike of lightning emits from the tombstone, revealing Bogmire. Luigi jumps back in horror. He is transported into a mysterious arena, where a large Black Bogmire comes out and approaches him. Several others also appear in the field.
Bogmire can only be fought once Luigi gains access to the Graveyard by vacuuming up [[Spooky]]; afterward, a vortex can be accessed via his doghouse, taking [[Luigi]] to the Graveyard. Upon clearing the area of the [[Mr. Bones]] found there, the large headstone begins to glow. When Luigi approaches it, lightning strikes near the tombstone as Bogmire springs out, and Luigi jumps back in horror. He is then transported into a mysterious arena, where a large Black Bogmire comes out and approaches him, while several others also appear in the field.


In the battle, Bogmire frequently vanishes and switches between areas. Before reappearing, Bogmire's large shadow appears on-stage, originating from his current location. Contrarily, if it disappears, it indicates Bogmire vanishing. To vacuum Bogmire, Luigi must vacuum up a Black Bogmire (regardless of size) and aim it at Bogmire. Bogmire is one of the trickier ghosts to vacuum up, because he breaks free of Luigi's grasp within a few seconds. Luigi flips backward, and Bogmire disappears in a lightning flash. New Black Bogmires spawn onto the stage.
Bogmire will teleport around the arena, with his presence announced by lightning strikes and the appearance of his shadow; his only means of offense is spawning shadowy translucent dopplegangers called [[Black Bogmire]]s from the ground (and often from his actual shadow). Bogmire vanishes some time after the Black Bogmires spawn, signaled by his shadow vanishing, and he will reappear elsewhere and repeat the pattern. The size of his shadow upon appearing determines the size of the specific Black Bogmire that spawns from it.


Eventually, after capturing Bogmire, Luigi returns to the Graveyard, where he opens a large [[Treasure Chest|chest]] containing the [[key]] to the [[Courtyard (Luigi's Mansion)|Courtyard]].
To vacuum Bogmire, Luigi must suck up any of the Black Bogmires with his [[Poltergust 3000]], shaping it into a ball that he can aim at Bogmire. If hit, he is enveloped by the ball of shadow, rendering him vulnerable. Bogmire is one of the trickier ghosts to vacuum up, and may break free of Luigi's grasp within a few seconds.

==Trivia==
* Bogmire is the only Portrait Ghost to not have any lines, as the [[Game Boy Horror]] cannot scan his heart for text.
* In the GameCube version, Bogmire's gold frame is of a [[Black Bogmire]] and not Bogmire himself. This makes him the only Portrait Ghost to not appear in their own gold frame.

Template:Portrait-infobox Bogmire is a shadowy Portrait Ghost that is found in Luigi's Mansion and its 3DS remake. He appears as a purple ghost with a large mouth, yellow eyes, and thin, constantly outstretched arms. Bogmire lives under a tombstone in the mansion's Graveyard, and acts as the boss of Area Two. According to his Game Boy Horror entry, Bogmire is the manifestation of the mansion's fear and despair; he does not speak, and the Game Boy Horror cannot scan his heart for text. His name is derived from the words "bog" and "quagmire", which refer to different kinds of swampland.

At one point, Bogmire was captured by Professor Elvin Gadd and turned into a portrait; like the other ghosts in the gallery, he was released when King Boo broke in. Bogmire's portrait number in Professor E. Gadd's gallery is 19; in the GameCube version, he is the only Portrait Ghost to display another enemy in the portrait, with his old frame picture depicting a Black Bogmire.

Battle

Bogmire can only be fought once Luigi gains access to the Graveyard by vacuuming up Spooky; afterward, a vortex can be accessed via his doghouse, taking Luigi to the Graveyard. Upon clearing the area of the Mr. Bones found there, the large headstone begins to glow. When Luigi approaches it, lightning strikes near the tombstone as Bogmire springs out, and Luigi jumps back in horror. He is then transported into a mysterious arena, where a large Black Bogmire comes out and approaches him, while several others also appear in the field.

Bogmire will teleport around the arena, with his presence announced by lightning strikes and the appearance of his shadow; his only means of offense is spawning shadowy translucent dopplegangers called Black Bogmires from the ground (and often from his actual shadow). Bogmire vanishes some time after the Black Bogmires spawn, signaled by his shadow vanishing, and he will reappear elsewhere and repeat the pattern. The size of his shadow upon appearing determines the size of the specific Black Bogmire that spawns from it.

To vacuum Bogmire, Luigi must suck up any of the Black Bogmires with his Poltergust 3000, shaping it into a ball that he can aim at Bogmire. If hit, he is enveloped by the ball of shadow, rendering him vulnerable. Bogmire is one of the trickier ghosts to vacuum up, and may break free of Luigi's grasp within a few seconds.

Eventually, after capturing Bogmire, Luigi is returned to the Graveyard, where a large chest appears containing the key to the Courtyard.
