Haunter is a purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gaseous body. It has a round head flanked by three large, spiked protrusions on either side. It has triangular eyes with small pupils and a mouth with a long, pink tongue. The gases composing its head curve into its mouth to form several pointed teeth. Disembodied hands with three clawed fingers each float in front of its body. Its body tapers into a jagged tail. Haunter's gaseous form makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.
 
Haunter hides in very dark places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, and is afraid of light. If a human or a Pokémon comes near Haunter, it will stalk the victim while floating and beckon it to come closer. Once approached it will then lick the victim with its gaseous tongue, inflicting convulsions in the victim that last until death. It can also float through walls. It has been shown in the anime that it can control its hands from far away and can control any Pokémon that it touches with its hands. In the anime, Haunter have been depicted as being able to [[EP121|create illusions]], [[EP023|pull out spirits from an individual’s body]], and even [[EP024|remove its own eyes from its face]]. Despite its predatory nature, it has been known to entertain and prank people [[EP023|in the anime]]. Additionally, it has [[EP095|even been shown]] to feel intense loyalty to a deceased Trainer. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].
 
===Evolution===
Haunter evolves from {{p|Gastly}} and evolves into {{p|Gengar}}.


Haunter hides in very dark places, where it plots to take the life of the next living thing that comes near it. It silently stalks its victim and steals its life force with a lick from its gaseous tongue, which inflicts convulsions that persists until the victim dies. It has the ability to float through solid walls. Despite its predatory nature, it has been known to entertain and prank people [[EP023|in the anime]], and  it has [[EP095|even been shown]] to feel intense loyalty to a deceased Trainer. Haunter lives or near graveyards and dark, abandoned {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash encounters a {{pkmn2|giant}} Haunter called the [[Black Fog]], notorious for using its {{m|Dream Eater}} attack to kill people and Pokémon by stealing their souls. [[Sabrina]] has a vendetta against this Haunter, as her Pokémon were attacked and killed by it when she was eleven, but she falls victim as well in her attempt to protect a team of people trying to hunt it down.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Haunter is possibly based on the dila, a spirit that passes through walls then licks certain humans to death according to Filipino mythology. It also appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}.
Haunter appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}. Like Gengar, Haunter may also be based on the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, as it possesses what may be pointed ears; a large, toothy grin; and the ability to vanish at will. While many Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} - ghosts and ghouls - are depicted with long tongues, Haunter's vampiric licking may have come specifically from the Dila, a Philippine spirit that licked the life energy of sick people until they died.

Haunter is derived from ''haunt'', as {{wp|ghost}}s are known to do. It could also be a corruption of "hunter".

Haunter (Japanese: ゴースト Ghost) is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Gastly starting at level 25 and evolves into Gengar when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Haunter is a purple Pokémon with a gaseous body. It has a round head flanked by three large, spiked protrusions on either side. It has triangular eyes with small pupils and a mouth with a long, pink tongue. The gases composing its head curve into its mouth to form several pointed teeth. Disembodied hands with three clawed fingers each float in front of its body. Its body tapers into a jagged tail. Haunter's gaseous form makes it one of the lightest Pokémon in existence.

Haunter hides in very dark places, such as caves, and is afraid of light. If a human or a Pokémon comes near Haunter, it will stalk the victim while floating and beckon it to come closer. Once approached it will then lick the victim with its gaseous tongue, inflicting convulsions in the victim that last until death. It can also float through walls. It has been shown in the anime that it can control its hands from far away and can control any Pokémon that it touches with its hands. In the anime, Haunter have been depicted as being able to create illusions, pull out spirits from an individual’s body, and even remove its own eyes from its face. Despite its predatory nature, it has been known to entertain and prank people in the anime. Additionally, it has even been shown to feel intense loyalty to a deceased Trainer. In Generation I, Night Shade was its signature move.

Evolution

Haunter evolves from Gastly and evolves into Gengar.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Haunter appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish ghost. Like Gengar, Haunter may also be based on the Cheshire Cat, as it possesses what may be pointed ears; a large, toothy grin; and the ability to vanish at will. While many Japanese yōkai - ghosts and ghouls - are depicted with long tongues, Haunter's vampiric licking may have come specifically from the Dila, a Philippine spirit that licked the life energy of sick people until they died.

Name origin

Haunter may be derived from haunt and the agentive suffix -er or possibly hunter.

Ghost is literally ghost.
