{{quote|Those brainy Poltergeists sure are strong, but they don't seem to be in charge of the other ghosts. I reckon they're still worth studying, though!|Professor E. Gadd|Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon}}
'''Poltergeists''' (called '''Boffins''' in the PAL versions) are a type of ghost in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are orange and possess large brains. While [[Luigi]] explores the [[Gloomy Manor]], [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] insists he capture this ghost for study purposes. An [[Ancient Poltergeist]] is the mini-boss of [[Old Clockworks]], and a [[Strong Poltergeist]] is the mini-boss of [[Treacherous Mansion]]. It also appears in the bonus mission in [[Gloomy Manor]] and the [[Old Clockworks]]. '''The Brain''', the final boss encountered in the [[ScareScraper]] is the same as the regular Poltergeist except he has 300 HP, or more depending on number of players and difficulty, and he is much larger.
'''Poltergeists''' (called '''Boffins''' in the British English version of the original release) are a type of [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are orange ghosts that possess large brains and 50 HP each. While [[Luigi]] explores the [[Gloomy Manor]], [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] insists that he go to the [[Library (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)|Library]] and capture this ghost for research. An [[Ancient Poltergeist]] is the mini-boss of [[Old Clockworks]], and a [[Strong Poltergeist]] is the mini-boss of [[Treacherous Mansion]]. Poltergeists also appear in the bonus mission in [[Gloomy Manor]] and the [[Old Clockworks]]. A large Poltergeist called [[The Brain]] is the final boss for the co-op mode, [[ScareScraper]].


==Abilities==
==Abilities==
The Poltergeist has the power to move objects with telekinesis. When Luigi fights the Poltergeist, it throws books at him while he searches for it. It can even throw books at Luigi while it is being sucked into the [[Poltergust 5000]] to get away. When the [[Strobulb]] is used on it while it is carrying a book, it blocks the light using the book, and so the player must wait until the book is thrown to stun it. It is almost always invisible, but the player can use the [[Dark-Light Device]] to reveal its current location and stun it afterward. It also plays the piano during the entire battle. In the Old Clockworks bonus mission, instead of books, it throws the bricks placed around the room.

American English:
*'''Poltergeist''': ''These big-headed know-it-alls have swollen brains (and egos) that afford them telekinetic power. Sadly, their sense of humor seems to be underdeveloped.''
