## Official Description

### Site Bio

"*Anomalo is a bizarre mix of human and cockroaches (yes, plural). He has an insatiable appetite for bacon and has won plenty of eating contests in his life – and afterlife. Anomalo was a powerful tool in Lady E.’s soul essence-collecting plot back when his seafood restaurant was a popular high-class establishment. He’s nothing but a crude butcher with a sinister agenda."*

### App Bio

"*This chef is a real cockroach. He always has something cooking, and always something foul.*"

## History

### Don't Choke Now

Anomalo confronts Parker and Jack at the Shrimp Shack when they are looking for Spencer. He demands that they take part in the bacon eating contest or else they will die.

He is able to grab an early lead, but is outsmarted by the Ghost Hunters as they used Spencer without him noticing. Instead of letting them go, he attacks the Hunters with knives. Parker is able to grab her phone, but is surrounded by Anomalo with Spencer acting as his shield. Jack then calls for Spencer, which gives Parker a chance to capture the evil chef.

## Trivia

* He's a member of the Wild Ghosts.
* His name is a pun on "anomaly."
* Much like the Bawa and the Maw, Anomalo has one of the most bizarre ghost forms of the Boss Ghosts in the Hidden Side, with his looking like a centipede made of human torsos.
	+ Ironically, Anomalo and The Bawa are both members of the Wild Ghosts.
* Curiously, in the App game, his name was misspelled as "Anomolo."
* Because of the Shrimp Shack's sign in "Don't Choke Now" says "**Joe's** Shrimp Shack," Anomalo's status as the restaurant's owner and the episode's credits lists him as "Chef Silento," it's possible that his former human name was Joe Silento.
	+ However, this is unconfirmed.
* In "Don't Choke Now," he stated that he hadn't lost a Bacon eating contest in one hundred and thirty years, this was until Spencer beat him in the contest.
* He's the first Boss Ghost to be captured by the Ghost Hunters before the Battle of Newbury High School.
* He, Ellen Tucana, and Lady E. are the only known Ghost whose appearances as a human have been revealed.
	+ Coincidentally, Anomalo and Ellen Tucana were both associates of Lady E.
* He is the fourth Ghost to be fused with an object.
	+ The other six are Captain Archibald (fused with an octopus), Rat Shaun (fused with rats), Mamali (fused with a tree), Mr. Nibs (fused with Lady Evelina's teddy bear), Spewer (fused with garbage), and Trucker Dale (fused with a truck).
* Anomalo's appearance may be a reference to the horror trilogy *Human Centipede*.
* Anomalo is one of the few Boss ghosts to have a non-bigfig body.
	+ The others are Lady E., Mamali, and the The Bawa.
