| | '''Poltergeist''' (called '''Boffin''' in, certain countrys, PAL versions) is a mini-boss in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. 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]]. The Poltergeist can also be encountered as a boss on the [[ScareScraper]] under the name of '''The Brain'''. The Brain is the same as the regular Poltergeist except it has 300 HP and is much larger than normal. |
| '''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 mid-boss of [[Old Clockworks]], and a [[Strong Poltergeist]] is the mid-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==
| | 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. It also plays the piano during the entire battle. In the ScareScraper, it is capable of causing a large explosion to get rid of any Luigis that are capturing it. However, this can be avoided by jumping with the B button (while the suction is still focused on it).<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp6_-ezu9BU</ref> |

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. | |
