Ghosts ( Pac - Man ) - wikipedia Ghosts ( Pac - Man ) Ghosts Pac - Man characters Pac - Man title screen featuring the ghosts and their names. Below is their appearance when they are edible. First game Pac - Man ( 1980 ) Created by Namco Voiced by ( see below ) Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, are the primary group of fictional ghosts ( Japanese : モンスター monsutā, `` monsters '' ) who serve as the main antagonists in the Pac - Man franchise. Several different ghosts have appeared throughout the franchise, aside from the ones in the main aforementioned group.

Despite the seemingly random nature of the enemies, their movements are strictly deterministic, which players have used to their advantage. In an interview, creator Toru Iwatani stated that he had designed each enemy with its own distinct personality in order to keep the game from becoming impossibly difficult or boring to play. More recently, Iwatani described the enemy behaviors in more detail at the 2011 Game Developers Conference. He stated that the red enemy chases Pac - Man, and the pink and blue enemies try to position themselves in front of Pac - Man 's mouth. Although he claimed that the orange enemy 's behavior is random, the game 's code reveals that it actually chases Pac - Man most of the time, but also moves toward the lower - left corner of the maze when it gets too close to Pac - Man. Cartoons In the Pac - Man cartoon, with the male Ghost Monsters wearing various styles of hats and partnered with a new ghost named Sue ( who was purple and wore earrings ), the Ghost Monsters work for Mezmaron who assigns them the job of finding the Power Pellet Forest. Just as Pac - Man could `` chomp '' the Ghost Monsters to devour their `` suits '' after gulping down a power pellet and thus turning the Ghost Monsters blue -- with their disembodied `` eyes '' floating back to Mezmaron 's lair -- the Ghost Monsters themselves, whenever Pac - Man had n't been able to consume a power pellet for a time, could likewise `` chomp '' Pac - Man to defeat him. The episodes `` Chomp - Out at the O.K. Corral '' and `` The Greatest Show in Pacland '' featured the Ghost Monsters ' 3 - year - old cousin named Dinky who was bratty, which greatly annoyed all the male ghost monsters. In the 2013 TV series Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures, the four Ghosts come from the Netherworld. Though they are ruled by Lord Betrayus, they are actually good - natured spirits and often supply Pac - Man with information about Lord Betrayus ' plots, while ensuring Betrayus does n't catch them in the act. It is also suggested that they could be reunited with their bodies and brought back to life, though their ' living ' forms are unknown. There were also some Ghosts that were exclusive to the TV series like Cyclops Ghosts ( a race of heavyset, horned Ghosts with one eye ), Fire Ghosts ( a race of orange Ghosts who can emit fire from their body ), Tentacle Ghosts ( a race of 4 - eyed purple - black Ghosts who look similar to jellyfish ), Guardian Ghosts ( a race of large Ghosts who guard the Netherworld ), and Aqua Ghosts ( a race of light blue Ghosts with fins on their head ).

He is considered the leader of the ghosts. In the Pac - Man cartoon, Blinky ( voiced by Chuck McCann ) is slow - witted and cowardly with grammar problems. In Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Blinky ( voiced by Ian James Corlett in the TV series and by Lucien Dodge in the video game ) is the default leader of the Ghost Gang Family and tends to help the winning side. Blinky receives a speed boost after a number of pac - pellets have been cleared. This mode has been informally referred to as `` Cruise Elroy ''. He is sometimes known as Clyde, mainly in the Pac - Man World games. Pinky Speedy, known better as Pinky, is a pink ghost, who is in the original arcade game, positions in front of Pac - Man. In the Pac - Man cartoon, Pinky ( voiced by Chuck McCann ) is depicted as male dimwitted shape shifter. In recent games, and Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Pinky ( voiced by Ashleigh Ball in the TV series and by Julie Kliewer in the video game and sequel ) is depicted as a female with a crush on Pac - Man, which often puts her at odds with Cylindria. Inky Bashful, or, Inky is a baby blue ghost who, in the original arcade game, has a fickle mood. He can be unpredictable. Sometimes he chases Pac - Man aggressively like Blinky ; other times he jumps ahead of Pac - Man as Pinky would. He might even wander off like Clyde on occasion. In the Pac - Man cartoon, Inky ( voiced by Barry Gordon ) is depicted as dim and loony. In Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Inky ( voiced by Lee Tockar in the TV series and by Bryce Papenbrook in the video game ) is the youngest member. Though the smartest, he lacks focus most of the time. In Pac - Man, Inky likes to appear in front of Pac - Man 's face. Clyde Clyde, whose original name is listed as Pokey, is an orange ghost who, in the original arcade game, acts stupid. He will chase after Pac - Man in Blinky 's manner, but will wander off to his home corner when he gets too close. In Ms. Pac - Man, this ghost is named Sue, and in Jr. Pac - Man, this ghost is named Tim. In the animated series, Clyde ( voiced by Neil Ross ) is the leader of the group. In recent games and Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Clyde ( voiced by Brian Drummond in the TV series and by Orion Acaba in the video game ) is depicted as a large ghost who is simple, but not unintelligent and has an appetite equal to Pac - Man 's. He lacks the devious natures of his brothers and sister and is considerate towards others. Other Ghosts This section does not cite any sources.

( December 2012 ) With the release of further Pac - Man games, more ghosts have been added. Kinky -- appeared in Pac - Man Arrangement. He is also called Kinzo. Kinky is the scientist of the Ghosts who has the ability to combine with other Ghosts. When he combines with Clyde ( note : in Pac - Man Arrangement, Clyde was the red ghost and Blinky was orange ), Kinky becomes a bull - like ghost named Urchin that can charge after Pac - Man. When he combines with Inky, Kinky 's glasses appear on Inky 's body and grant this new combined ghost ( named Stylist ) the ability to split in two. Stylist 's reflection will mirror Stylist 's movements on the other half of the map ( about the vertical axis ). When Kinky combines with Pinky, the resulting ghost is rabbit - like and named Romp. Romp can hop to any part of the map, usually very close to Pac - Man 's position. The combination of Kinky and Blinky ( who is orange in Pac - Man Arrangement ) results in Crybaby, a chubbier version of Blinky who adds 20 - point Pac - Dots to the maze. Orson / Toc - Man -- a greenish - gray intellectual Ghost who initially appears as the main antagonist of Pac - Man World under the alias of Toc - Man. In Pac - Man World 3, Orson has reformed and is now an ally of Pac - Man. Spooky -- a dark gray Ghost in gray armor that is the King of the Ghosts in ancient times until he was sealed under Pac - Ville 's largest tree by Sir Pac - A-Lot. Funky -- a jumping green Ghost that debuted in the game Pac - Mania. He has an interest in Sue. Spunky -- a jumping iron gray Ghost that debuted in Pac - Mania. She is a counterpart of Funky. Sue -- is the female counterpart of Clyde in Ms. Pac - Man, entirely identical to him. In the Pac - Man series, Sue ( voiced by Susan Silo ) is featured as Clyde 's second - in - command. She also appears in Pac - Mania colored purple with mascara and eyeshadow, greatly resembling her cartoon counterpart. Tim -- is an orange Ghost that appeared exclusively as Clyde 's replacement in Jr. Pac - Man. Yum - Yum -- a female red Ghost that debuted in Jr. Pac - Man. She is a relative of Blinky and has a romantic relationship with Jr. Pac - Man. Yum - Yum appears exclusively in Jr. Pac - Man 's cutscenes. Lord Betrayus ( full name : Betrayus Sneakerus Spheros ) -- a white ghost that is the supreme ruler of the Netherworld and of all Ghosts and Monsters and acts as the main antagonist of Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures. His primary goal is to steal the power berries and take over Pac - World and rule it with an iron fist. He is currently voiced by Samuel Vincent. Butt - ler -- Betrayus ' long suffering personal servant and butler who appears in Pac - Man and the Ghostly Adventures. He is a purple - gray ghost with a butt - shaped head, topped with a dapper black hat. He 's always loyal to his master. He will take some small satisfaction seeing Betrayus fall flat on his face. Dr. Buttocks -- The Netherworld 's greatest mad scientist and Butt - ler 's twin brother who also has a butt - shaped head, but is light blue, has a cybernetic right hand, wears glasses and speaks with a German accent. He specializes in monster experimentation in hopes of achieving Pac - World domination. He sometimes suspects that the Ghost Gang are working with Pac - Man, but has had no luck convincing Betrayus of this since he usually blames him or his brother for his failures and sometimes tortures him for fun. He wants all of the workers to get out of his way. He sometimes hates his twin brother, Butt - ler. Voice actors American Blinky Chuck McCann in the television series Martin T.
