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

Characteristics

Ghosts simply put, are orange-coloured ghosts. These mischievous undead shades from beyond have a stereotypical appearance that wouldn't be out of place on a Halloween decoration. They float about in midair, 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.
