A list of enemies and bosses that Luigi faces in Luigi's Mansion. All of them are ghosts who who were originally captured by E. Gadd and turned into portraits, but they were set free by King Boo and unleashed upon the mansion within the events of the game. Each of them inhabited different parts of the mansion, and all of them were ultimately recaptured and returned to their portraits.
Bosses
Chauncey
Chauncey was the infant son of Neville and Lydia who was apparently born as a ghost and described as being one year old. He was known to cry loudly and never sleep through the night, and he was also said to be more effective at scaring others than his older brothers, Henry and Orville.
He was found at the Nursery and was faced as the first boss of the game. He was summoned by using the Poltergust to rock a rocking horse and then slapping a ball at Chancey, angering him. Chauncey used his dark powers to shrink Luigi down and placed him in his crib, where Chauncey threw balls and rocking horses at him. Luigi could use the Poltergust to shoot another ball at Chauncey to stun him, at which point he could be sucked up by the Poltergust.
Bogmire
Bogmire was a mysterious living shadow who was said to be a product of the mansion's fear and despair, although he no longer knew what to fear or despair. Bogmire seemed to have some power over lightning, and he could also bring his own shadows to life as mindless underlings.
He acted as the boss ghost of the second area and battled Luigi in a large arena with his shadows. Luigi could turn the tables on Bogmire by sucking up the shadows and then throwing them back at Bogmire, stunning him while Luigi sucked him into the Poltergust 3000.
Boolossus
Boolossus was a being comprised of fifteen individual Boos who had fused together. Boolossus was the last ghost caught by Professor Elvin Gadd before he decided to retire. After learning that Boolossus had been captured and made into a portrait for E. Gadd's gallery, King Boo was furious and sought revenge, which led to the events of Luigi's Mansion.
Boolossus was the last boss ghost before King Boo and battled Luigi on the third floor balcony. Luigi soon found a way to split Boolossus into the fifteen smaller Boos, as he used the Poltergust to pull Boolossus into the pointy horn of a unicorn statue, popping him like a balloon into the fifteen smaller Boos. Even as normal Boos, they were slippery and resourceful, but the Ice Element could be utilized by Luigi to to freeze them before sucking them up, one by one. Boolossus would eventually refuse, but he would become smaller with each Boo was sucked up, and he could be split apart by the statue's horn once again. Eventually, every Boo of Boolossus was sucked up and returned to portrait form.
King Boo
King Boo acted as the ultimate antagonist and the final boss of the game. He created the fake mansion and freed the portrait ghosts to get revenge for E. Gadd capturing Boolossus. He also captured Mario himself and turned him into a portrait.
During the final battle, King Boo attacked from within some decoy version of Bowser. By knocking Bowser's head off, Luigi could attack King Boo with the Poltergust. After being defeated, King Boo was turned into the final portrait of E. Gadd's gallery.
Other Portrait Ghosts
Neville
Age: 42
Neville was the father of the family of ghosts appearing in the game, being the wife of Lydia and the father of Orville, Henry and Chauncey. He was known for his love of books and spent his time reading in the study. He would telekinetically throw books from a bookcase at intruders. He could only be stunned by the flashlight when he stopped to stretch and yawn, at which point he could be captured.
Lydia
Age: 34
Lydia was the wife of Neville and the mother of Orville, Henry and Chancey. She stashed her savings away for her long afterlife. Her favorite hobby was mirror-gazing, but she hated the cold. Lydia spent her time in the Master Bedroom where she focused on her mirror. Luigi could use his Poltergust to pull the curtain back, and as Lydia shivered from the sudden draft, she was then vulnerable to being stunned by the flashlight and sucked into the Poltergust.
Nana
Age: 76
Nana was an elderly woman who spent her afterlife working on finishing the scarf that she was unable to finish during her life. It was said that her scarf eventually reached 871 feet. Nana was known to have a mischievous personality as well, and she was known to have played a prank on Miss Petunia. As a ghost. she also had the ability to fire needle beams from her eyes. She inhabited Nana's Room, where she sat in a rocking chair while knitting. Luigi had to fire three of her yarn balls at her to make her hear vulnerable to capture.
Melody Pianissma
Age: 26
Melody was a prodigious young pianist who was known to have a surly disposition and a love for video games. She was found playing piano at the mansion's Conservatory. Melody appeared before Luigi after he played all of the instruments found within the room and proceeded to challenge him to a quiz. This quiz consisted of her playing music from other video games and asking Luigi to identify them. If he passed her quiz, then she would proceed to attack Luigi by throwing sheet music at him. At this point, she was vulnerable to being stunned by Luigi's flashlight and sucked into the Poltergust.
Miss Petunia
Age: Unknown
Miss Petunia was a ghost who took on the form of a pig-like being dressed in a bikini. She was a model who was known for being a runner-up in a Miss Ghost pageant six years before Luigi's Mansion, but she was also said to not have had much work lately (possibly due to her time trapped in a portrait). Miss Petunia was found in the second floor bathroom, where she was taking a hot shower and attacked anyone who disturbed her with blasts of hot water. However, Luigi could use the ice element to stun her and make her vulnerable to being captured.
Madama Clairvoya
Age: Unknown
Madame Clairvoya was a fortune teller whose close connection to the spirit world allowed her to see nearly 49 days into the future. She was the only ghost who acted as an ally to Luigi and ultimately allowed herself to willingly be captured. She appeared at the Fortune-Teller's Room, and she made predictions whenever Luigi brought her one of Mario's five belongings that were scattered across the mansion. These predictions related to Mario's status as well as the roles of King Boo and Bowser. After all five predictions were delivered, Clairvoya claimed that she had exhausted all of her energy and was ready to return to her painting satisfied. Luigi could then freely suck her up with the Poltergust, with her putting up only a minimal level of resistance.
Shivers
Age: 72
Shivers was a butler who served an unspecified master during his lifetime. In death, he wandered in search of his master's will, in hopes that he was included within it. At King Boo's mansion, Shivers fell in love with the young Melody Pianissima and spent his time wandering around a first floor hallway with an unlit candelabra while wondering how to win Melody over. To the living, he merely appeared to be a floating candelabra. Luigi had to use the fire element to light Shivers's candles. The sudden appearance of fire would cause Shivers to panic and retreat to the Butler's Room. There, he accidentally set himself on fire, leaving him vulnerable to be captured by Luigi.
Sue Pea
Age: 7
Sue Pea was a young girl who was implied to have died while taking what was supposed to be a short nap. She had a bed-wetting problem that she had promised to solve. As a ghost, she was powerful enough to flip entire rooms upside down and also had telekinetic powers. At King Boo's mansion, she spent her time resting in a bed at the guest room, which she had flipped upside down. Sue warned others not to disturb her sleep and to go away. However, Luigi was able to spray the bed with the water element. This caused Sue to wake up and worry that she had wet the floor again. This left her vulnerable to being captured by Luigi. While being captured, she would attempt to stop Luigi by telekinetically throwing dolls at him.
The Floating Whirlindas
Age: Unknown
The Floating Whirlindas were a couple who were known as local waltz champions. As ghosts, they no longer could technically compete due to their feet no longer touching the floor. Still, they spent their time dancing around the mansion's Ballroom. They only showed themselves and danced together when others weren't looking. While they were dancing, they were vulnerable to being stunned and captured by Luigi.
Mr. Luggs
Age: 30
Mr. Luggs was a large and gluttonous man who was said to prefer all-you-can-eat buffets over having three meals a day. He ate himself to death and remained unsatisfied, so he continued seeking food in the afterlife. He preferred to eat in the dark. Within the mansion, he was found at the Dining Room and had other ghosts constantly serve him more food to eat. Luigi had to light the table's candles to make Luggs invisible, and he then had to suck up all of the food and servants with the Poltergust. This enraged Mr. Luggs and caused him to attempt to attack Luigi by spitting out a series of fireballs. But he tired himself out, and when he stopped to catch his breath, he was vulnerable to being captured by Luigi.
Jarvis
Age: Unknown
Jarvis once was a collector of antique jars, and he became a purple ghost who lived within them. He had his jar collection on display in the Ceramics Studio. When he caught Luigi snooping around his collection, Jarvis made him play a minigame for the right to view his collection: Jarvis would emerge from random jars seven times, and if Luigi could spray Jarvis with ice each time, Jarvis would give Luigi permission to look around. Luigi completed his minigame, but Jarvis went back on his word and attacked Luigi instead. In the process, his heart was exposed, so Luigi was able to capture him.
He was the only ghost without a heart quote in the original game, but one was added for the 3DS version (where he refers to Luigi as "boyo" and tells him to go back to the woods). The Japanese version also notes that what he uses for a toilet is a mystery.
Spooky
Age: 4
Spooky was a bulldog who was said to sink his teeth into anything in sight that seemed edible. His ghost resided in a doghouse located in the mansion's boneyard. He rested there, but he would wake up and try to attack Luigi when his bowl was filled with water. To defeat him, Luigi had to defeat Mr. Bones first, as Spooky would be distracted by the bone that he left behind. This left Spooky vulnerable to being captured.
The Twins
Age: 5
Henry and Orville were a pair of twin brothers. They were the children of Neville and Lydia, and Chauncy was their younger brother. They each had a passion for different types of toys, as Henry liked cars, while Orville preferred planes. The twins shared a love for hide-and-seek, but both of them only liked to hide. They also both feared the different elements, which caused their father to consider them to be more childlike than their younger brother.
At the mansion, they resided in their own room known as the Twins' Room. They only appeared after Luigi used his Poltergust to move the hanging mobiles in circles. Henry and Orville challenged Luigi to a game of hide-and-seek in which they hid in two out of five boxes in the room. He could use the Poltergust to figure out their hiding places. When Luigi won, the ghosts got angry and attacked Luigi. Henry drove at him in a toy car, while Orville dropped bombs from a toy plane above. Luigi sucked up both toys and the boys with them.
Clockwork Soldiers
Age: Unknown
The Clockwork Soldiers were a trio of wind-up toy soldiers that were said to have previously belonged to a "tightly-wound" toy collector. They have since become life-sized ghosts who used cork guns to attack others. They each wore a differently-colored uniform, out of green, blue and pink. At the mansion, they were intiially stationary within the Clockwork Room. After Luigi turned on everything in the room, the soldiers would come to life and attempt to attack Luigi. After sucking up their corks, the Clockwork Soldiers became vulnerable to being captured.
Biff Atlas
Age: 26
Biff Atlas was a young bodybuilder whose favorite things were said to be both muscles and lilies. He valued lilies because they represented purity, implying that Biff had a sensitive side. At the mansion, Biff could be found working out at the Rec Room. Luigi could get Biff's attention by hitting him with punching bags, which agitated him and made him attempt to attack Luigi. After he was hit by punching bags several times, his heart became vulnerable and he could be captured by Luigi.
Slim Bankshot
Age: 29
Slim Bankshot was known as a billiards player who was legendary in the world of competitive pool. However, he was also said to have never played against a living soul, implying that he only started playing billiards in the afterlife. When playing billiards, the balls he hit tended to fly off of the table and bounce around a room like a projectile. Bankshot could be found by Luigi at the Billiards Room. Luigi had to use the Poltergust to suck up the billiard balls and launch them back at him. This would eventually expose his heart, at which point Luigi could capture him.
A statue of Bankshot was also found in the Courtyard
Sir Weston
Sir Weston was an explorer who was well accustomed to environments with low temperatures. He actively loved the cold, and was said that this was the reason that he had not "warmed up" to becoming a ghost. At the mansion, he stayed within the Cold Storage room, where he had frozen himself within a block of ice. It was surrounded by piles of wood which Luigi lit on fire to thaw him out. Weston attempted to prevent him from doing so by making waves of deadly icicles rise from the ground. His efforts were ultimately in vein. After melting the ice block completely with the fire element, Weston was left vulnerable to being captured by Luigi.
Uncle Grimmly
Grimmly was a man who often kept to himself in the darkness he loved. The rest of his family didn't seem to care anyway. After his death at the age of 45, his ghost still wandered the darkness. Grimmly thought of himself as scary and was proud of it. His pride did not help when he was captured by E. Gadd and turned into a portrait in the professor's ghost gallery.
When King Boo freed all the portrait ghosts to haunt the mansion in "Luigi's Mansion", Uncle Grimmly chose to haunt the Parlor. However, he only appeared during the mansion's blackout late in the game. When Uncle Grimmly tried putting on a scary pose, his heart was briefly exposed, and Luigi was able to recapture him with the Poltergust 3000, and he was returned to his portrait.
Vincent Van Gore
Vincent van Gore is an artist with a French accent, but he hasn't sold any paintings in thirty years. When he died at the age of 59, Vincent wasn't ready to let his work- or himself- die, so he came back as a ghost to make his work eternal. With his new ghost powers his drawings could come to life- and many of the things he drew were not so nice. But his artwork couldn't save him from E. Gadd, who captured Vincent and trapped him in, ironically, a portrait.
When King Boo freed all the portrait ghosts to haunt the mansion of "Luigi's Mansion", Vincent van Gore holed himself up in the Artist's Studio. There he created more and more generic minion ghosts that plagued the mansion, proving himself to be important to King Boo's scheme. Vincent was Luigi's last challenge before going to fight King Boo himself. Luigi confronted Vincent just as he was finishing a painting of a treasure chest. From his other paintings, Vincent summoned three of each kind of ghost to battle Luigi continuosly. But Luigi sucked them all up in the Poltergust 3000, and Vincent's only remained work was the treasure chest. Vincent van Gore was then sucked in as well and wound up living the rest of his afterlife like one of his creations, hanging from Elvin Gadd's wall.
