Haunter is a purple Pixelmon with a gaseous body. It has a round head with a pair of disembodied hands. Each hand has three pointed fingers. Its head is flanked by three large, spiked protrusions on either side, and its eyes are large and triangular with small pupils. The gases composing its head curve down to form several pointed teeth framing a pink mouth and a long tongue. Its body tapers into a jagged tail. Haunters can often be found lurking in the shadows of dark areas, and seem to enjoy terrifying those who intrude on their domain.

Haunters evolve from Gastlies after a degree of battle experience, and, for reasons not fully understood, will evolve into Gengars when being traded through a PixCo Trading Machine.

Habitats
Outside of cities, haunters are found more rarely than their younger cousins, Gastlies. Much like Gastly, though, Haunters can sometimes be found prowling the dark forests of the taiga at night, often appearing simply as a pair of piercing, disembodied eyes at first glance.

They can also occasionally be found in and around abandoned buildings at night, and on rare occasions even in graveyards.

Differences from Mainstream Lore
In the descriptions given by the games, Haunters are said to be able to slowly kill a person by licking them, causing them to experience a violent seizure until their untimely death. In Toro's canon, a Haunter's lick will instead instantly induce a sense of inescapable dread in the victim, often causing themselves to run in terror from the Haunter. This feeling of immense fear will generally dissipate within a few hours of the victim's escape from the Haunter's lair.
Like all other ghost-types, Haunter is affected by this post on ghost lore.
