Ghost Lupe

The Ghost Lupe (formerly Ghost Lion, see Trivia) is a restless Lupe Ghost who prowls Mystery Island, seeking revenge against the dangerous natives who kidnapped his bride two centuries ago. He is believed to be named Sylva, the first mate of a ship sent to colonize Mystery Island. As the only officer who survived a the a ship wreck with one third of the passengers, he kept a log of their attempts to survive against the natives, witch doctors, and a fiery spirit in the jungles. His last entry detailed a small group of survivors being captured by natives during the night, and that he "must rescue her", her being his bride (or so it's believed). After this, there are no more entries in the journal.

He has been known to help Neopets at times, by healing them fully through a Random Event. Even so, he was featured in the Gallery of Evil from the 8 May 2002 - replacing his the article of his former incarnation, the Ghost Lion - until he himself was replaced by Eliv Thade's article on 28 August 2007.
