'''Duplighosts''' are ghost-like creatures that can take on the appearance, voice and abilities of other people. They first appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. To attack, Duplighosts can either fly into [[Mario]], or turn into his current partner; in this guise, the Duplighost gains that partner's attacks and physical properties, e.g. a Duplighost turned into [[Watt]] will damage Mario or his party members if they make contact with certain moves. However, the duplicated attacks are weaker than those of the actual partner. | |||

The name "Duplighost" is a portmanteau of the words "duplicate" and "ghost". | |||

In ''Paper Mario'', Duplighosts appear most often during Chapter 7, in the [[Crystal Palace]]. They imitate other objects and characters in order to confuse Mario, often using the mirrors in the palace. | |||

In the Crystal Palace, four Duplighosts appear and pretend to be [[Bombette]] when Mario uses her to destroy one of the walls. The fakes can be distinguished by the way they speak, such as using more hearts or more exclamation points. Hitting the impostors with Mario's hammer will expose them, with all four running off once they are revealed; if the real Bombette is hammered, Mario must fight the four Duplighosts. Another instance occurs within the Crystal Palace when four Duplighosts attempt to impersonate Kooper, but instead disguise themselves as [[Luigi]], [[Goompa]], [[Koopa Koot]], and [[Kolorado]]. As before, Mario can drive off the obvious fakes by hammering them, and if the player opts to hit Kooper instead, the four Duplighosts must be battled. | ||
Another Duplighost appears later on in [[Bowser's Castle]], trying to trick Mario into believing it is [[Princess Peach]]. Mario can break the Duplighost's disguise by hammering the fake princess repeatedly, leading to a battle where he must defeat four of them. | Another Duplighost appears later on in [[Bowser's Castle]], trying to trick Mario into believing it is [[Princess Peach]].

''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' has only one Duplighost, [[Doopliss]], who stays in the [[Creepy Steeple]]. Many of the [[Twilighter]]s refer to him as a demon, since they have never seen him in person. Doopliss appears as an enemy of Mario several times throughout the game, starting with the events of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 4: For Pigs the Bell Tolls|Chapter 4]]. | ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' has only one Duplighost, [[Doopliss]], who stays in the [[Creepy Steeple]].

Doopliss attempts to steal Mario's identity, even succeeding for a little while, until he is exposed with the help of the real Mario and [[Vivian]]. Doopliss later becomes a member of the [[Shadow Sirens]], replacing Vivian. In battle, he has the same powers and abilities as regular Duplighosts, using the same swooping attack and transforming into Mario's partners to use their attacks. | ||
