Nana, the Scarf-Knitting Granny (Japanese: ババーラ Babāra) is one of the ghosts from Luigi's Mansion. She is found in the aptly-named Nana's Room, in the third area of the mansion. Nana resides in the room knitting a scarf. To get her attention, Luigi should knock her nearby yarn balls onto the floor, thus provoking her into floating around the room on her rocking chair. Luigi must suck up the three yarn balls and hit Nana with them to expose her heart to attack, all the while avoiding her needle eye beams. If Luigi misses when trying to hit Nana with the yarn, she cackles and disappears. The only way to make her appear is to exit the room and enter again. She escapes with medium pulls when she gets sucked in by Luigi.

Trivia

  • Nana is the oldest portrait ghost (who has a known age) in Luigi's Mansion.
  • Nana's name suggests that she is a grandmother, possibly to Henry and Orville, as she owns the key to their room. Thus, she is probably Neville's mother, as their names in Japanese are alike (Neville: パパーラ Papāra, Nana: ババーラ Babāra). In English, both names start with "N".
  • Curiously, both Neville and Nana are in the second floor (reinforcing the idea that she belongs to the "2F family") and use rocking chairs.
  • Oddly, Nana is the only portrait ghost that has a blurry representation of herself on her gold frame. This is in reference to famous painting "Scream"
  • Strangely, in the gallery, Nana's portrait is #4 despite the fact that she is the 12th ghost caught.
