Ghost

King Coltzan III's Ghost

A Ghost is the spirit of a Neopet or Petpet that has died, yet from some reason become restless. There is also a Paint Brush colour called Ghost that causes a Neopet to appear ethereal.

Examples of Ghosts

There are several, very different ghosts that are known to inhabit Neopia. These include:

The Ghost Lupe

Main Article: Ghost Lupe

The Ghost Lupe is the restless spirit of a Lupe sailor who's bride was kidnapped on Mystery Island by natives around two centuries ago. The Ghost Lupe, or at the very least, the legend of him, has kept the more dangerous native tribes deep inside the Island.

The Ghost Lupe, when encountered, will often warn against the dangers of Mystery Island or restore the hitpoints of a Neopet. However, he appeared as a villain in Defenders of Neopia, and it is generally considered that while sometimes he is benevolent, he is also very dangerous.

King Coltzan III

Main Article: King Coltzan III

King Coltzan III of the Lost Desert kingdom of Sakhmet was deposed by poison by Princess Sankara, heiress to the throne of the Fourth Khonsu Dynasty. After the creation of a shrine to honour him, his crown was placed into it, and the spirit of the King inhabited it. Neopets who visit the shrine may be given stat points or items by the ghost of the King.

In NeoQuest II, his spirit, acting against his nature as a result of the sabotage to the space ship, was a boss opponent.

Hubrid Nox's Ghost Army

Main Article: MAGAX: Destroyer

In the game MAGAX: Destroyer, Hubrid Nox summons an army of restless spirits, which Magax must eliminate.

Ghosts in The Tale of Woe

Main Article: The Tale of Woe

During The Tale of Woe plot, users were required to dig up several thousand graves and test the bones within them to see if they were the bones of the Spirit of Slumber, in order to discover the Spirit's name. After the correct bones were found, the ghosts of the Neopets who's graves had been disturbed prowled the Haunted Woods in a special Random Event.

Money Tree Ghosts

There is at least one ghost who appears in Random Events to take Neopoints from a user and donate it to the Money Tree. A different event features the same picture of a ghost, who instead steals a user's Neopoints and does not donate them. The Money Tree page notes on how other ghosts steal from the Tree itself.

Colour

Users are able to paint their pets Ghost by means of the Rainbow Fountain, Morphing Potions, Lab Ray, or the Ghost Paint Brush. As of August 19, 2009, a total of 50 Neopets and 61 Petpets can be painted Ghost (Ghost pets and Petpets look like they are ghost-like):
