Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2

Ghosts can be found in the Doubtback. During the day, they wander around in the caves, and at night, they wander around in the plains, mostly where the Missing lynx hunts. They may also appear in battles with other monsters, but only above-ground and at night. They tend to travel with a Dracky at night.

All wild Ghosts, when scouted, have the "Graveheart" and "Wisdom Boost" skill paths, and may have another "wild" skill path, as well.
