Nana, the Scarf-Knitting Granny, is one of the portrait ghosts from Luigi's Mansion and its remake. She is found in her own room, in the third area of the mansion. Nana resides in the room knitting a scarf, which she never finished in life and has gotten very long. Her portrait number in Professor E. Gadd's gallery is 3.
Luigi's Mansion[edit]
To get Nana's attention, Luigi knocks her balls of yarn onto the floor, thus provoking her into attacking him. She attacks by floating around the room on her rocking chair. Luigi sucks up the three yarn balls and hits Nana with them to expose her heart to attack, all the while avoiding her needle eye beams, dealing ten HP worth of damage. If Luigi misses, Nana cackles and disappears. The only way to make her reappear is to exit the room and enter again. She escapes with medium pulls when she gets sucked in by Luigi. In the 3DS Boss Rush mode, If Luigi misses the balls of yarn, the battle restarts.
Physical appearance[edit]
Nana wears a light violet dress over a multicolored shirt. She wears a choker and triangular earrings. She has a single tooth protruding from her lower lip, a long nose, round green eyes, poofy white hair, and pale blue-green skin.
