Information[]
Physical description[]
Scars is a pale sky blue Slammer, with several "scars" on his body which have been sewed up with stitches. He also has some pale dark blue spots on his body, a large patch of black hair on his head and green slime rotting from his mouth.
In his appearance in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Scars is the same size as the Beetle Whisperer. In Luigi's Mansion Arcade, he is the same size as Slammers.
Powers and abilities[]
- Beetle summoning: Scars is capable of summoning multiple beetles.
- Greenie summoning: Scars can summon Greenies and Strong Greenies to assist him.
- Paranormal shields: Scars can use paranormal shields of any color.
- Shockwave: Scars can create a powerful red shockwave by clapping his hands.
Strategy[]
The strategy to capture Scars remains the same as fighting the Beetle Whisperer.
On Normal/Hard ScareScrapers, 1-2 Luigis should focus on vacuuming the Slammer, whilst the other Luigi(s) should focus on destroying beetles and capturing normal or sword and shield variants of Greenies and Strong Greenies, Scars's support ghosts. For the Luigi(s) vacuuming Scars, remember to jump before being hit by a beetle or Greenies/Strong Greenies.
On Expert/Endless ScareScrapers and with a full or near-full group, all Luigis should work together and focus on depleting the Slammer's health, though some can break off the Slammer and clear up some beetles and Greenies/Strong Greenies, but then return to vacuuming up Scars after they are finished for now.
If one Luigi goes the ScareScraper alone, regardless of difficulty, these are the tips to follow. Try and break the shield first, then clear up some of the beetles and Greenies/Strong Greenies before depleting the Slammer's health. Always remember to jump and try and let the Slammer pull Luigi for a bit to clear some gaps, but not too long or else he'll trip and lose health.
By following these tips, Scars should be captured successfully in no time.
Behind the scenes[]
Creation and development[]
Scars is based on a zombie, with a striking and possible resemblance to Frankenstein in popular culture.
Etymology[]
Scars' name refers to the many scars around his body.
To support the fact that Scars is based off Frankenstein in popular culture, his Dutch name and translation, are Frankenspook, which is a specter of Frankenghoul. Stein is replaced with the words spook and ghoul respectively. His German name is Prankenstein, with Frank replaced with the word, Prank.
