The Blue Twirler is an uncommon type of regular ghost that Luigi encounters in Luigi's Mansion. They appear late in the game and are first introduced during the Blackout, though they are significantly more common in the Hidden Mansion. Blue Twirlers have the strongest pull strength of any standard ghost type, comparable to various Portrait Ghosts, even stronger than some of them.

Physical description

Blue Twirlers appear as blue ghosts (though they are colored cyan in some artworks). They have yellow eyes and red mouth.

Abilities

• Scare: Much like most other ghosts, the Blue Twirler can scare Luigi upon appearing, briefly halting his movements.
• Invisibility: Blue Twirlers can become invisible when not attacking.
• Ground Pound: Blue twirlers can punch the ground, sending out shockwaves in a medium range, dealing 10 HP of damage to Luigi if successful.
