“That was them! Those were the ones who released all of the ghosts from the paintings in my gallery! Those fiends! I wondered where King Boo and his gang had gone. So, they were hiding in the mansion all along... Thanks for flushing 'em out, Luigi! I'm tickled you found 'em, but...perhaps it would've been better if you hadn't, well... let every single one escape. Just a thought. Ah well, water under the bridge. Anyway, you should probably come back to the lab for a sec. I've been waiting for you, young Luigi! Your brother must've been taken by that gang of Boos... Poor feller... Oh now, don't talk crazy. They're not gonna eat the man. But what became of him, hm? Odd that he hasn't come back. Common theory holds that Boos grow in strength when they travel in numbers. They must somehow combine their powers too... Their power likely overwhelmed your brother. If your aim is to save Mario, there's but one way to do it: capture each Boo and slowly weaken the group's power! But Boos, as their name implies, like to hide and then jump out to scare people. You've got your work cut out finding 'em... Heh heh heh. Don't get all down in the mouth, my boy! That Game Boy Horror I gave you has a secret function! I knew it'd come in handy one day, so I developed it secretly. I call it the Boo Radar! The Boo Radar will flash red when something round like a Boo is hidden nearby. Use it to search everywhere, Luigi! All right now, sonny. Don't go tuckering yourself out. Relax, and just try to get those Boos one at a time. Don't forget, now!”
— Professor Elvin Gadd, tells Luigi how to defeat the Boos


Boos are undead ghost enemies who appear in all three games in the Luigi's Mansion series with a big role.

During the first events, Luigi releases 50 Boos (excluding King Boo) from the storage room. He must then catch each one throughout the game. 35 of the fifty regular Boos are named and each one always starts out in a particular room (the other 15 form together to make Boolossus). Once Luigi uncovers a Boo, he must drain all of its HP with the Poltergust 3000 to capture it. Boos are capable of fleeing to other rooms, forcing Luigi to chase them down. Some Boos will tackle Luigi when threatened, while others will not. Luigi can still take damage from touching them on contact, however.

The following chart shows each Boo, its amount of HP, whether or not it has the ability to attack, the room it starts out in, and the different hiding places in that room.
