'''Boolossus, the Jumbo Ghost''', is a [[Big Boo]] and one of the [[portrait ghost]]s in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' as well as the final boss of ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''{{'}}s [[ScareScraper]] mode. It ghost is composed of a group of smaller [[Boo]]s. Although these Boos are normally timid and shy, when they form into Boolossus, all their fears disappear. Te Boo is a servant of [[King Boo]], leader of the Boos, and is the guardian of the third area of [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Its name is a portmanteau on the words "Boo" and "colossus." Unlike other Boos, it has glowing yellow eyes. In the gallery, the portrait number of Boolossus is 22. | |||

Before the events of ''Luigi's Mansion'', Boolossus was captured by [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] during the professor's travels around the world. E. Gadd used his [[Ghost Portrificationizer|Portrificationizer]] to transform Boolossus into a painting and placed the painting in his gallery of other portrait ghosts. However, the capture of Boolossus greatly angered King Boo. In retaliation, King Boo led his Boo minions in an assault on Professor E. Gadd's laboratory. The Boos reversed the setting on E. Gadd's Portrificationizer and reverted Boolossus' state. King Boo then ordered that all the other portrait ghosts that Professor E. Gadd caught should be freed as well. Eventually, after all the portrait ghosts were released, King Boo created a mansion, right next to [[Professor Elvin Gadd's Lab|E. Gadd's laboratory]] in [[Boo Woods]]. | Before the events of ''Luigi's Mansion'', Boolossus was captured by [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] during the professor's travels around the world.

In ''Luigi's Mansion'', Boolossus, along with the other Boos (including King Boo), rests in a secret area under the [[Storage Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Storage Room]]. When [[Luigi]] activates a hidden door in the Storage Room, the Boos spring out. However, when they notice E.

When [[Luigi]] activates a hidden door in the Storage Room, the Boos spring out. However, when they notice E. Gadd's [[Poltergust 3000]], a ghost-catching vacuum device, that Luigi has on his back, the Boos decide to run off and hide in the mansion. | ||
Eventually, as Luigi progresses through the mansion, he makes it to the [[Balcony (3F)|Balcony]]. | Eventually, as Luigi progresses through the mansion, he makes it to the [[Balcony (3F)|Balcony]]. If he has not captured 20 Boos, however, he will be blocked in the hallway leading there by a particularly-transparent Boo, referring to itself as "the mysterious power of the Boos," which will then whisk him back to the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]]. However, if he has captured the required amount, he can go through. While Luigi is there, the [[Boo Radar]] on the [[Game Boy Horror]] starts flashing intensely, indicating a powerful Boo presence. To the left, fifteen [[Mini Boo|Little Boo]]s are circling each other. Once Luigi approaches, they taunt him, and begin to circle around him. They then transport him to an ethereal version of the Balcony, where the Boos merge into Boolossus and swoop down upon him. | ||
During the battle, Boolossus attempts to slam into Luigi. To defeat Boolossus, Luigi must use his Poltergust 3000 to pull Boolossus into one of the two stationary unicorn ice sculptures located on the balcony. When Boolossus touches the statue's sharp horn, it pops, separating into the fifteen Little Boos. Luigi must then absorb an [[Elemental Ghost|Ice Elemental Ghost]] from the ice sculpture and spray frost at the Little Boos, freezing them. This enables him to suck them into his Poltergust 3000. Eventually, the remaining Little Boos will reform into a smaller and faster, but weaker Boolossus. As more and more Little Boos are caught, the other Little Boos become more wary of the Poltergust's icy spray and flee when Luigi gets too close to them. | During the battle, Boolossus attempts to slam into Luigi.

After capturing Boolossus, Luigi acquires the key to the West Wing of the mansion. Defeating the boss counts as capturing a total of fifteen of the fifty released Boos. After the battle, Luigi visits Professor E. Gadd's lab and turns Boolossus into a portrait. | After capturing Boolossus, Luigi acquires the key to the West Wing of the mansion.

Boolossus's appearance in [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|the 3DS remake of the game]], both in-game and in stock artwork, is largely the same as in the original GameCube game, with the only notable difference being that Boolossus and his composite Boos have four teeth in the remake, instead of two like in the original game. | |||

As in the first game, Boolossus must be broken up into its component Boos before it can be sucked up. This is done by sucking up the bombs Boolossus expels and firing them back into its mouth with the [[Poltergust G-00]]. Once Boolossus explodes, the remaining Boos inside will fall onto the roof, able to damage players they land on but otherwise completely harmless. While these Boos are dazed, players must suck up their tongues and [[Slam]] each into the ground three times to defeat them individually. Unlike the main game's Boos, these Boos are invulnerable to the [[Dark-Light Device]] and [[Strobulb]], and once the surviving Boos wake from unconsciousness, they will fly to the far end of the roof and reassemble into a proportionally smaller Boolossus. Once all Boos on the roof are defeated, ScareScraper is completed. | As in the first game, Boolossus must be broken up into its component Boos before it can be sucked up.
