The Possessors are a group of five ghosts that appear as bosses of the mansions in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. While each one has their own set of unique abilities, each is capable of possessing another object or being and control them. Unlike other ghosts, Possessors do not have a set HP, instead only being able to be captured by Luigi's Poltergust 5000 once he completes three phases of the boss fight. Each one will drop a shard of the Dark Moon upon being defeated.
