The Toy Ghost is a full magnitude Class 10 ghost that formerly resided in a toy factory in Brooklyn, New York.[2]

History[]

Primary Canon History[]

The Toy Ghost resided in an abandoned toy factory in Brooklyn, New York formerly occupied by a Class 7 called Turlock. The entity was sleeping until its rest was disturbed by a Class 5 named Slug. The ghost became highly agitated and manifested as a one-eyed cloud of smoke.

Using parts from broken toys, it assembled a giant corporeal body to inhabit and took on the appearance of a giant mutant toy with the body of a stuffed bear, metal legs, and a large jack-in-the-box as a head with a toy cymbal playing monkey on top. This creation then rode a gigantic tricycle. The Ghostbusters watched as the Toy Ghost burst from the factory in pursuit of Slug, Snarg, and Zonk. When they blasted the monkey on its head, a jack-in-the-box head sprang out. Unable to defeat the ghost through standard means, the Ghostbusters initiated a full power overload of Ecto-2 to disperse it on the Brooklyn Bridge. Slimer then slimed the bridge to trip up the ghost. It slipped on the ectoplasm and fell into the river with Ecto-2. It abandoned its host body and revealed its true form, a giant worm-like and multi-fanged monstrosity. Ecto-2 went critical just in time and dispersed the Toy Ghost.

Secondary Canon History[]

He appears as a boss in The Real Ghostbusters Data East. In the arcade game, the creature appears to be visually resembling him, except it is orange instead of grey. It battles by thrusting its head at its prey.

Personality[]

Not much is known about the Toy Ghost except it doesn't like to be disturbed. When Slug disturbed its slumber, it became very angry and became fixated on pursuing Slug and his family through New York. It is capable of speech but only spoke two speaking lines then spent the rest of its time growling and roaring.

Classification[]

The Toy Ghost is a Class 10,[3] one of the rarest types of entities next to a Class 11. At the time of the incident, Egon stated it was bigger than anything they ever encountered at the time.[4]

Trivia[]
