{{main|List of Boos in Luigi's Mansion}}
There are 51 (including King Boo) Boos that hide in the various rooms of the mansion. 35 of these are named to differentiate between them, while the remaining 15 are [[Mini Boo|smaller one]]s which make up the third Boss of the game, Boolossus. The magic of the King Boo's spells increase based on the number of his minions nearby. Because of this, Luigi must capture 20 Boos to break the seal designed to block Boolossus from him. After capturing 20 more, the seal separating Luigi from King Boo is broken. If Luigi catches all 50 Boos, he will be rewarded with the extremely valuable [[Gold Diamond]]. Each of the [[Boo]]s' names are puns. For example, "Booigi" is a pun on "Luigi" and "Game Boo" is a nod to the [[Game Boy]].

The magic of the King Boo's spells increase based on the number of his minions nearby. Because of this, Luigi must capture 20 Boos to break the seal designed to block Boolossus from him. After capturing 20 more (hence, five more after what he gets from Boolossus), the seal separating Luigi from King Boo is broken. If Luigi catches all 50 Boos, he will be rewarded with the extremely valuable [[Gold Diamond]]. Each of the 35 main Boos' names are puns. For example, "Booigi" is a pun on "Luigi" and "Game Boo" is a nod to the [[Game Boy]].
 
The 35 main Boos can only be found in rooms that have been cleared and lit, where they hide in interactive objects and occasionally switch positions when they laugh. The [[Boo Radar]] helps to find them, but a [[Boo Ball]] and a [[bomb]] hide nearby and also shuffle positions. When a Boo is discovered, it attempts to flee to another room, with some also trying to attack Luigi from behind. Boos can have anywhere from 30 to 300 HP and lack hearts, meaning they cannot be latched onto, but also cannot pull Luigi - as such, he must keep pointed at them manually. Their HP goes down at a steady quick rate in light areas, but if they travel into a dark one, their HP falls much slower. If a Boo is left in another room for too long, it will hide in the new room, or if left in a hall, in its original room.
