The Ghost is a recurring monster of the Dragon Quest series, appearing in the original Dragon Quest and being the first representative of the Undead family.

Characteristics

Ghosts are, well, ghosts. These mischievous undead shades from beyond have a stereotypical appearance that wouldn't be out of place on a Halloween decoration. They float, have a pointed purple and red witch's hat, arms, and a taunting face, always with its tongue hanging out. Although they have made limited appearances in the main series of games, ghosts appear regularly in spinoff games.
