Ghost

"That offends me as a scientist."

- Wilson Ghosts are aggressive mobs that can appear with a 10% chance when digging up a Grave with the Shovel, or when all the graves are dug in Maxwell's Graveyard. They make strange wispering noises when attacked or defeated. They do not attack like regular mobs, instead inflicting damage whenever next to the player. This damage is dealt as small attacks that are dealt very quickly over time while being the only attack that bypasses the player's armor, making the Ghost a dangerous foe. They are fairly slow and the player can easily outrun them. Ghosts will attack anything in their path, often killing small animals in a single blow, so they can be led to mobs if the player wants to lose them.

A Ghost will have a sad appearance, similar to Abigail, at low health. Ghosts don't drop anything upon "death".

Ghosts seem to have an interest in Mandrakes, following them around.



Tips

 * Because Ghosts will disappear after a while and do not drop anything, it is best to just let them be. The easiest way to kill a Ghost is by luring it to a few Pigs or a Beefalo, this way beefalo will kill the ghost, leaving beefalo weakened.


 * A Ghost can also be used as a meat grinder; let it kill whatever enemy it comes across, then take the drops.
