'''Mr. Luggs, the Glutton''', is a thirty-year-old portrait ghost that was released from his canvas prison by [[King Boo]] immediately prior to the events of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
'''Mr. Luggs, the Glutton''', is a thirty-year-old [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS remake]]. Mr. Luggs is an obese ghost, and as stated in his bio he even ate himself to death (the PAL bio was changed to say that Mr. Luggs "ate until he died"). However, even in death, Luggs is not satisfied, and spends his afterlife eating food in the [[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]] of [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Visually, Mr. Luggs may be a reference to {{wp|Mr Creosote}} from ''{{wp|Monty Python's The Meaning of Life}}'', who was also an incredibly obese man who literally ate himself to death.
As his moniker suggests, Mr. Luggs is very obese and particularly prefers all-you-can-eat buffets to three meals a day. In fact, Mr. Luggs actually ate himself to death by consuming too much food as a living being. However, even in death Luggs was not satisfied, and spent his afterlife eating food in the [[Dining Room]] of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. [[Luigi]] did not need to capture Mr. Luggs to help him in the quest to find his brother [[Mario]]. After acquiring the key to the Dining Room, Luigi could simply pass Mr. Luggs and head into the [[Kitchen (Luigi's Mansion)|Kitchen]]. However, if Luigi captured Luggs, the green-clad ghost hunter would be rewarded with lots of treasure.


If Luigi chose to capture Mr. Luggs, he would discover the Glutton next to the Dining Room table, shoving ghost jelly into his mouth. Peculiarly, Luggs ate in the dark, and after Luigi used the [[Game Boy Horror]], Luggs' heart revealed that the gluttonous ghost preferred not to be seen. As such, Luigi captured a [[Fire Elemental Ghost]] from a nearby torch with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. The plumber then proceeded to shoot flames at the table's candles, setting them aflame. After lighting all the candles, the Glutton and his dinner would become visible. However, Luggs could not be captured yet. To make the Glutton vulnerable, Luigi began to suck up Luggs' ghost jelly with his trusty vacuum. Two [[Waiter (ghost)|Waiters]] would attempt to resupply Luggs with more jelly, from their serving plates to his. Luigi quickly disposed of them with the Poltergust. Eventually, when all the food was gone, Mr. Luggs would become enraged and attack Luigi by spewing fifteen [[fireballs]] at the green plumber. Each fireball caused ten HP of damage and would briefly light Luigi on fire. It would be best not to get close to the angry scarfer. However, due to his obesity, Mr. Luggs would quickly tire out and flop onto the table, rendering the portrait ghost vulnerable. Thus Luigi began to suck Mr. Luggs up with the Poltergust 3000. If he didn't, Mr. Luggs would get back up and breathe five more fireballs before tiring again. This would also happen if he broke free of the vacuum's pull. Although the portly ghost fought back with some strong pulls of his own, Luigi eventually emerged the victor.
