Hammers are ghosts in Luigi's Mansion 3. They are quite similar to Blue Twirlers from Luigi's Mansion and Slammers from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, They have square heads and attack by charging toward Luigi or Gooigi and hammering the floor, hence their name. Like Slammers, they tend to be more brawny than intelligent. Hammers have 200 HP and two tails, allowing both Luigi and Gooigi to vacuum them at the same time. Whenever they charge, they will cover their eyes with their arms, rendering them immune to the flash bulb for the attack. When they are stunned using the Strobulb, they will barely move or take damage unless Luigi or Gooigi moves behind them while they are stunned and then suck them up.
The first Hammer in the game appears on the third floor, the Hotel Shops. It uses a water sprinkler above to melt Gooigi and speeds up the escalators.
Like Goobs, Hammers work lots of odd jobs at The Last Resort, but are easily angered.
The end of the game reveals the Hammers were being brainwashed by King Boo, as they and the other ghosts quickly regain their senses and become social once the gem from King Boo's crown vanishes from Luigi's hands as they were about to attack him. Among the rest of the standard ghosts in the game (save for Trappers), Hammers are seen working with the protagonists to rebuild the fallen hotel through a series of pictures throughout the closing credits, as well as the cinematic immediately preceding the credits sequence itself. The ending also reveals that Hammers are slightly dim-witted in their base personality; when one of the Hammers was handed a helmet by Professor E. Gadd when preparing them to work on restoring the hotel, it mistook the helmet for a snack and ate it, much to the other ghosts' embarrassment.
