Haunter has spikes by the face. It has triangular eyes, and a mouth with several sharp, purple teeth. Haunter has a pair of disembodied hands floating in front of it. Haunter's powers are stronger than a Gastly. With Haunter's newly developed hands, it can now use physical attacks, such as Poison Jab, and the Elemental Punches. Haunter hide in very dark places, where they plot to take the life of the next living thing that comes near. It then silently stalks its victims. It has the ability to float through solid walls, and many people believe that Haunter is from another dimension because of this ability. It has also been known to entertain, and prank people. Haunter live in or near graveyards, and dark, abandoned caves. They can be found primarily at night. Haunter seem to eat by first paralyzing their opponent with Lick, then draining a bit of their life force. It is also said to eat people's dreams by going inside them, and scaring them to death. Haunter is based on the Dila, a spirit that passes through walls then licks certain humans to death according to the Filipino mythology. It appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish ghost. Haunter's name origin simply means it is one who haunts, as ghosts are known to do.
