Ghost

The Ghosts are exactly like Specters but a little bit stronger. They are found in the Cave of Darkness and wherever Necromancers will summon them.

Gorva

Gorva is faced on the Ghost Ship. It attacks by casting various spells during the battle. Evil Gate and Anti-Magic are its most common attacks, but it also has two special attacks.

It attacks by whipping with its hair and striking with its arms. It can suck your blood with its Life Drain technique. It has a drum it can play damaging musical notes with in its Drummer Boy technique. Because Gova is spelled similar to Gorva, they both play instruments, and they are fought on boats they could be the same monster.

The Spriggan is fought in the Gato Grottoes caves after Matilda is stolen. At the beginning of the fight it summons two Skeletons to fight with it. It has the same Life Drain attack as Gova and can also use a giant meat tenderizer to hit you with its Iron Crush technique. Sometimes it will roll the carpet and cause you to fly up in the air.

Hitodama

This Wisp like monster is a boss in the Underworld.
