'''Spooky, the Hungry Guard Dog''' is a four-year old bulldog [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS version]]. It is a lavender bulldog ghost with only two paws in front and a ghostly tail at the back. It sports tiny, pale blue eyes, a purplish black nose, droopy ears, and four large fangs in its massive lower jaw. It wears a red spiked collar around its neck. It is known to bite any seemingly edible thing in sight. Like the other portrait ghosts, Spooky is released by [[King Boo]] after the capture of [[Boolossus]]. Its portrait number in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] is 13.


'''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 (place)|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]].
Spooky resides in the [[Boneyard]] in the mansion's backyard, where it rests in a doghouse. When [[Luigi]] approaches Spooky, the dog spots him and begins to chase him around the Boneyard, attempting to bite him each time after barking. If it does, Spooky will not let go of Luigi until it is shaken off, causing it to flip in the air and whine. After Spooky barks four times, an annoyed [[Mr. Bones]] appears. He complains about the noise and then attacks Luigi. Capturing Mr. Bones leaves a bone in the ground. Spooky stops chasing Luigi to lick the bone, causing it to let its guard down. In this state, Spooky is vulnerable and can be vacuumed by the [[Poltergust 3000]]. After struggling, Spooky is eventually captured, which causes a vortex leading to the [[Graveyard]] to appear in its doghouse.


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 the 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.
