FFT-Ghost

A restless incorporeal spirit. A mere touch may suck the life from its target, causing debilitating status effects.

Description

Ghosts in Final Fantasy Tactics are a genre of undead enemies. They float one space above the ground and can teleport within their enormous movement range. Being undead creatures, they absorb Dark-elemental attacks and are weak to Fire and Holy. They are among the most evasive monsters. They can be healed by Life's Anthem and Chakra.

Final Fantasy Tactics - Chocobo Riding Glitch Riding a Chocobo with a Ghost

Ghosts are the only monsters that have the ability to ride chocobos. Though the enemies in the game will never do this, a player can mount an allied ghost onto an allied chocobo. The game does not have a chocobo-riding sprite for ghosts, so it simply uses a Stopped ghost sprite.

Etymology[]

A ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted.

Ghasts are a race of creatures in H. P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands.

Revenants are animated corpses or ghosts in Western folklore that are said to return from the dead to terrorize the living. The word "revenant" is French (Fr. revenir, "to return") and means "one who returns".

A ghoul is a folkloric monster associated with graveyards and consuming human flesh, often classified as undead.
