==Summary==
The Ghost is a mysterious entity in Spelunky. It appears if the spelunker lingers on a level for too long, chasing them down, immune to all attacks and killing them instantly on contact. She is actually the Empress, King Yama's wife, as proven by her flashing before the player when the Empress' grave is photographed.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Unknown name, known as The Ghost, previously known as The Empress
Origin: Spelunky
Gender: Female
Age: Likely centuries
Classification: Ghost
Powers and Abilities: Death Manipulation (Instantly kills anything she touches), Intangibility, Invisibility (Far weaker ghosts have shown this kind of ability), Non-Physical Interaction, Non-Corporeality, Transmutation (Able to turn any gem she touches into a diamond), Duplication, Levitation, Healing (Her statue in the Sunken City will heal the player if they sit on it), likely Air Manipulation and Ice Manipulation (Might be able to use these abilities as she is a stronger ghost than the player character's), Immortality (Type 1, 4, 7 and 8, with 4 and 7 reliant on Tiamat's Curse), Resistance to Petrification (The curse allows Tiamat and Kingu to return from their petrified state), Death Manipulation (The Camera, which can one-shot most undead including other ghosts, only temporarily stuns her), and Non-Physical Interaction (Ignores attacks from the player character, who can hurt the intangible Anubis II)
Attack Potency: Unknown
Speed: Subsonic (Can chase down and threaten the spelunkers, though she is noticeably slower than them), higher when splitting (After splitting, one of the two ghosts will move significantly faster, and after a second split they will all be superior to the player in speed)
Lifting Strength: Unknown, Class 25, possibly Class M with breath (Should be at the very least comparable to the spelunker ghosts)
Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: Unknown (Can never be hurt without glitches), immortality, non-corporeality, and resistance to death manipulation and non-physical interaction make her very hard to harm or destroy
Stamina: Unknown, Infinite when affected by Tiamat's Curse.
Range: Extended Melee Range via size, Standard Melee Range after splitting twice. Several meters with breath.
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: At least Average, possibly Gifted (Said to have fended off an entire army using only spike traps)
Standard Tactics: The Ghost chases down the player directly. After a few seconds, she will split in two smaller ghosts, one with a happy face and one with a sadder one. The sad ghost chases down the player directly, while the happy, faster one circles around them and tries to cut off their escape. After a few more seconds, they will split again into four even smaller ghosts. The happy one now wanders around aimlessly, the sad one is much faster, the angry ghost also chases the player though more slowly, and the scared one will attempt to circle around them.
Weaknesses: If hit with a Death Manipulation attack, she will be stunned and reveal her true form for a second. Part of her Immortality is likely reliant on Tiamat's Curse.
