Ghost (Japanese: ゴースト) is a monster in  Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon. Ghosts are orange colored specters that appear to float in midair. They wear a pointed purple witch hat with a red ribon. They adopt a taunting expression with their tongue sticking out and their three-fingered hands wide open.

Monster Ability

Ghosts have double Movement Speed, giving them a bonus movement action before their regular action. This allow them to move two tiles at once or move one tile and attack Torneko in the same turn. Like most monsters, they have a 50% chance to spawn asleep and a 50% chance to wake up whenever Torneko enters the room, leaves the room or stands next to them.

Combat Strategy

Ghosts shouldn't be underestimated at the start of an Adventure when Torneko Level is low and he has little to no equipment. Even though their HP is the same as a Slime and their Attack Power is barely higher, their Defense Power is on par with Monjars who only appear on the 2nd floor. More than their stats, the real threat of Ghosts comes from their double Movement Speed preventing Torneko from fleeing safely. Running away to regenerate health is impossible and repositioning will be punished with repeated hits. If surprised by a Ghost while fighting an other monster in a room, players will have to choose between fleeing to a hallway to fight one monsters at a time, but get hit by the Ghost on the way, or try to fight both monsters at once. If several Ghosts are present, Torneko can also quickly get surrounded and cornered before he has time to move to a better spot.

In some cases, starting a Bonus dungeon Adventure and spawning in a room with at least two Ghosts can mean an almost guaranteed defeat right at the start. This makes Ghosts some of the most infamous run ender for the Bonus Dungeon, despite how early they're encountered. This is not an issue in the Mysterious Dungeon where Torneko can bring in items.

However if Torneko manages to level up a few times and acquire some decent equipment, Ghosts become a non issue.
