| Variant of | Grabbing Ghost |
Waiters, also known as serving ghosts[1] or Waiter Ghosts,[2] are a type of Grabbing Ghost that appear in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They are light blue ghosts dressed up in waiter outfits that carry plates of food in each hand. Only two Waiters are ever encountered, in the Dining Room, where they supply Mr. Luggs with food tirelessly and endlessly. Waiters cannot damage Luigi, unlike most ghosts, and they have only 10 HP. Waiters are unaffected by elemental attacks despite their heart having neither fire, water, nor ice protection. The way to battle Mr. Luggs is usually by vacuuming the Waiters into the Poltergust 3000. Stunning the Waiters with flashlight them to dissipate and reset, like other ghosts, though this gives a brief opportunity to vacuum up Mr. Luggs's food. If the Waiters are present when Mr. Luggs is out of food, they flee in terror from his anger.
