Poltergeist (MOTHER)
From The Codex
Background
Poltergeist are a species of ghost that Ninten encounter in the beginning of MOTHER (localized as EarthBound Beginnings). They are ghost that go around possessing objects within a house, causing it to shake and tear it apart.
The Doll is the first Boss in Mother 1, and resembles an ordinary baby doll that has been brought to life during the odd circumstances in the game, when a poltergeist appears in Ninten's house. It can be seen floating around in Mimmie's room and is presumably one of her toys. It can be the second enemy which Ninten fights against in the game if the player chooses to directly go into her room after fighting the first Lamp in Ninten's room; if he however chooses to enter Minnie's room first, he will meet yet another lamp. The doll is vital to defeat as it possesses the first melody, which is essential to receive plotwise.
The Lamp is the first enemy encountered in Earthbound Beginnings, and the first enemy introduced in the Mother series. It is encountered when Ninten tries to leave his room, which prompts his lamp to come to life and attack him. The battle is very straightforward, as Ninten and the Lamp only know basic attacks.
