Ghosts are the wandering remnants of intelligent dead creatures. They have a chance of appearing if corpses are not properly Template:L or Template:L. They haunt their best friends and follow them around on the same tile, and may linger around areas they frequented in life.

Ghosts appear to walk through walls and cannot be harmed by atom-smashing. They can be dismissed by burying the remains or by engraving rock slabs in memory of the deceased.
