Boolossus

is the third major boss in the game Luigi's Mansion, found in Area Three. He is made up of fifteen normal Boo ghosts that combine together on the balcony upon Luigi's arrival. After absorbing his friends, Boolossus transports Luigi into a warped version of the Balcony with icy versions of the statue, where his battle takes place. Luigi gets his hands on the Diamond Key to access the fourth chapter's rooms when he defeats Boolossus and captures him and his squadron.
==Profile==
===Physical Description===
Boolossus has two forms: his small form which is a normal Boo, and his large form gained from absorbing his squad. The latter has glowing yellow eyes. He was originally shown with two fangs, but in Luigi's Mansion 3, he gets two more for a total of four.
===Personality===
According to his biography, Boolossus is proof that Boos get bigger attitudes by merging together as their fears disappear.
===Powers===
Boolossus has no special powers in his original game besides relocating Luigi, but in Luigi's Mansion 3, he is shown to have lightning powers.
==Biography==
Before the events of the game, Boolossus was captured by Professor Elvin Gadd, his body being processed into a portrait. King Boo, outraged over his strongest minion getting himself captured, staged a raid in the lab to save him. During the raid, he ordered all the ghosts in the portraits (Boolossus included) to be restored and created a fake mansion as a trap. Boolossus was stationed on the balcony.
Luigi would later arrive, searching for his brother, Mario. At the end of the third chapter, Luigi and Boolossus meet up. If Luigi has captured at least 20 Boos, he can get to the Balcony, but if he has captured 19 or less, he will be booted back to the foyer. When Luigi nears the area, Gadd's Boo Radar starts flashing intensely, indicating a powerful Boo presence. Boolossus and his boos are found at the centre of the Balcony, scaring Luigi before merging together to create the boss's big form, commencing the fight and transporting him to an ethereal version of the Balcony.
==Battle==
Boolossus tries to smash Luigi during his battle, and Luigi has to capture him with the Poltergust 3000 and send him into the horn of one of the statues on the balcony; upon contact, Boolossus pops, releasing his squadmates, who will try to ram into Luigi, though most will flee. Boolossus will reform his body after 15–30 seconds.
The PAL version of the game has an Extra Game where Luigi rides on his vacuum à la a car, increasing his speed but lowering his traction.
== Defeat ==
Luigi must pop Boolossus with the horn of the nearby frozen unicorn statues. He can then obtain an Ice Elemental Ghost from the statue. Luigi must then freeze the Boos, and after that he must suck them up.
==Luigi's Mansion 3==
In Luigi's Mansion 3, Boolossus is the boss of ScareScraper no matter in ten floors mode or five floors mode. Boolossus attack by lightning, swining his tongue, slamming the ground to create shockwaves, spitting bombs and moving around inside of the ground. Luigi has to escape the lightning by getting to a square which is not purple (Less safe spots appear as Boolossus' health drops.), escape the tongue and shockwave by a Burst (The shockwave and tongue's size are reduced as Boolossus' health drops.), and shoot the bombs into Boolossus' mouth. After throwing bombs into Boolossus' mouth, Boolossus wil explode into little Boos, Luigi and the other player has to kill the Boos, and Boolossus will become smaller and smaller as his allies are abosrbed after being popped out of his body until he is defeated.
==Trivia==
*He, is the second in command of the Boos. Behind King Boo obviously.
*A similar boss appears in a mission in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. In the mission E-4: Ambush Maneuver, ten Boos join together to crush Luigi.
*Boolossus is also similar to the Atomic Boo from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. However, the Atomic Boo is composed of 200 Boos and Boolossus is bigger.
*Boolossus is also similar to the boss Jalhalla from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, both bosses being large ghosts comprised of many smaller ghosts. Both are thus "Asteroids Monsters", and the former is the third foe within the series to be a monster of this type, preceding the Phantamanta.
==Behind the Scenes==
===Name===
Boolossus derives his name from the word "colossus" (referring to his merged form's size) and "boo" (referring to his nature as a boo).
