Ghosts, first seen in the original Monster Rancher 1, are playable monsters not available at the start of the game. They assume a humanoid form, but have a tail instead of legs. Ghosts rely on speed and magic to defeat their opponents. They are usually characterized by their magic wands and enormous tops hats, which they can use to perform magic tricks. The species was originally designed to look spooky, but later took on a more comical appearance.
Etymology[]
In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living.
Its Japanese name is Gōsuto.
