| | '''Spooky, the Hungry Guard Dog''', is a four-year old bulldog portrait ghost. He was known to bite any seemingly edible thing in sight, but had a passion for bones (like all dogs). Like the other portrait ghosts, Spooky was released by [[King Boo]] after the capture of [[Boolossus]]. When [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]] materialized out of thin air a few days later, Spooky took up residence in the [[Boneyard]] in the mansion’s backyard. Specifically, Spooky guarded the doghouse, the entrance to the cemetery and the lair of [[Bogmire]]. Ultimately, Spooky was captured and returned to his portrait prison by [[Luigi]]. |

| '''Spooky''' is a four-year old bulldog [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. It is a lavender bulldog ghost with two paws in the front only and a ghostly tail at the back. It has small, pale blue eyes, a purplish black nose, droopy ears, and four large fangs in its lower jaw. Spooky wears a red spiked collar around its neck. It is known to bite any seemingly edible thing in sight. Like the other portrait ghosts, Spooky is released by [[King Boo]] after the capture of [[Boolossus]]. Its portrait number in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] is 13.<ref>{{cite|date=January 25, 2023|author=RetroArchive|url=youtu.be/vsVY_MCWnPc?feature=shared&t=305|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' - Full Gallery Portraits Showcase (Bronze, Silver & Gold)|publisher=YouTube|timestamp=05:05}}</ref>

| Spooky is found resting in its doghouse in the [[Boneyard]]. When Spooky is approached, he notices [[Luigi]] and follows him, attempting to bite Luigi each time after barking. If Spooky does bite Luigi, it does not let go until Luigi shakes off Spooky, who flips into the air and whimpers. After Spooky barks four times, a [[Mr. Bones]] arrives to complain about the noise.<ref>{{cite|author=[[Mr. Bones]]|quote=Fer the luvva dirt, make that yappy dog be QUIET!|date=2001|title=''Luigi's Mansion''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> After Mr. Bones is caught by Luigi, one of its bones falls into the ground, leaving Spooky vulnerable to the [[Poltergust 3000]] as he starts licking the bone.<ref>{{cite|quote=The skeleton will leave a bone that attracts Spooky and makes him vulnerable.|author=Sinfield, George|date=2001|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|isbn=1-930206-14-3|page=45}}</ref> After Spooky is caught, Luigi can continue on to the [[Graveyard]]. | | Before Luigi could challenge Bogmire and continue his search for Mario, the green-clad plumber had to go through Spooky. To distract Spooky from his duties, Luigi had to fill the ghost dog’s dish with water (provided by the [[Poltergust 3000]] and the [[Water Elemental Medal]]). After drinking the water, Spooky would begin to chase Luigi around the Boneyard, attempting to bite the novice ghost hunter (and causing massive damage if he was successful). All the commotion caused by Spooky and Luigi awakened a [[Mr. Bones]] residing in the yard. As such, Luigi captured the skeletal ghost, leaving behind a bone. Of course, Spooky could not resist such a treat, and stopped chasing Luigi to gnaw on the bone. When this happened, Spooky let his guard down and became vulnerable. Using the Poltergust, Luigi began to pull the dog ghost into the vacuuming device. Spooky resisted and pulled back strongly himself; however, the guard dog ultimately succumbed to the Poltergust’s power. |

| | After capturing Spooky, Luigi preceded to enter the portrait ghost’s dog house. To do so, Luigi examined the small house with his [[Game Boy Horror]], activating a mystical vacuum. When the Luigi entered this vacuum, the green-clad plumber was warped to a tree stump in the [[Graveyard]], the home of the second boss, Bogmire. |
