Ghost Lupe

The Ghost Lupe (formerly Ghost Lion, see Trivia) is a restless Lupe Ghost who prowls Mystery Island, seeking revenge against the dangerous natives who kidnapped his bride two centuries ago. He is believed to be named Sylva, the first mate of a ship sent to colonize Mystery Island. As the only officer who survived a the a ship wreck with one third of the passengers, he kept a log of their attempts to survive against the natives, witch doctors, and a fiery spirit in the jungles. His last entry detailed a small group of survivors being captured by natives during the night, and that he "must rescue her", her being his bride (or so it's believed). After this, there are no more entries in the journal.

He has been known to help Neopets at times, by healing them fully through a Random Event. Even so, he was featured in the Gallery of Evil from the 8 May 2002 - replacing his the article of his former incarnation, the Ghost Lion.

Trivia

• As of November 2006, the Ghost Lupe is featured in 4 different items.

• The Ghost Lupe was originally known as the Ghost Lion, before it was decided he was to be remodeled as The Neopets Team "didn't actually intend Neopia to have lions". When The Neopets Team redid the character, they asked in New Features for the history books to "gloss over" this.

• Users participating in the Defenders of Neopia game will receive the following trophy after defeating The Ghost Lupe from Headquarters. This trophy replaces the previous trophy earned by defeating the Pant Devil.
• Defeating the Ghost Lupe in the Battledome awards the user with an avatar that was released on May 1st, 2004
• The ghost trap used is similar to the one used by the Ghostbusters.
• When the Ghost Lupe appears in the Defenders of Neopia Mission 2 comic, it's not surprising that his victim was a Chia, as Lupes and Chias are known to be rivals.
