Spooky, the Hungry Guard Dog (Japanese: スプーキー Spooky), is a four-year old bulldog portrait ghost. He is known to bite any seemingly edible thing in sight, but has a passion for bones. Like the other portrait ghosts, Spooky is released by King Boo after the capture of Boolossus. When Luigi's Mansion materializes out of thin air a few days later, Spooky takes up residence in the Boneyard in the mansion's backyard. Specifically, Spooky guards the doghouse, the entrance to the cemetery and the lair of Bogmire. Ultimately, Spooky is captured and returned to his portrait prison by Luigi.

Before Luigi can challenge Bogmire and continue his search for Mario, he has to go through Spooky. To distract Spooky from his duties, Luigi has to come pretty close to him. Spooky will spot Luigi and begin to chase him around the Boneyard, attempting to bite the him (and causing massive damage if he is successful) each time after barking. If he does, Spooky won't let go of Luigi's rump until he is shaken off, once shaken off he will do two backflips in the air, amusingly and whine. Luigi has to wait for Spooky to bark four times. All that barking annoys a Skeleton Ghost named Mr. Bones residing in the yard. He complains, wanting Spooky to shut up, but then goes around the Boneyard attacking Luigi as well. As such, Luigi captures Mr. Bones, leaving a bone in the ground. Spooky can not resist such a treat, and stops chasing Luigi to lick the bone. When this happens, Spooky lets his guard down and becomes vulnerable. Using the Poltergust 3000, Luigi can pull Spooky into the vacuuming device. Spooky resists and pulls back strongly himself; however, he ultimately succumbed to the Poltergust's power.

After capturing Spooky, Luigi proceeds to enter the portrait ghost's dog house. To do so, Luigi examines the small house with his Game Boy Horror, activating a mystical vacuum. When Luigi enters this vacuum, he was warped to a tree stump in the Graveyard, the home of the second boss, Bogmire.

Trivia

  • Unlike many other ghosts, Spooky has an alternate coloration of himself on his gold frame.
  • In the Study, if the player looks to the right wall, one of the paintings is a picture of a bulldog. The picture may have been Spooky when he was alive.
