#kruller

i am like 15 days late cuse of work and shit (plus my friends forcing me to take breaks) but here it is!! my masterpiece! ngl i am really proud of it!

I have quite a few, most are from LM3 though so I picked one from LM1 and LM3 (I don't have a favorite for LM2)

Luigi's Gothic Mansion: The Staff

Hellen Gravely's trusty servants, ready to serve! They are loyal to her, following her every command. After all, if it weren't for her, where else would they be now?

Comprising of (from left to right, back to front):

Steward, the...steward. He is Hellen's personal assistant and head of the staff.

Shivers, the butler. He tends to roam around the halls.

Kruller, the footman. He serves as a bodyguard.

Chef Soulfle, the cook. Just don't interrupt him while he's cooking.

Chambrea, the housemaid. She dusts, cleans, washes; you name it!

Potter, the gardener. His flowers and crops are used for tea and dinner.

Hey, I'm back after another while, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 🦃 or Christmas to those who celebrate early🎄

Anyway, I wanted to make a headcanon list of the boss ghost from Luigi's Mansion 3 since I'm currently hyperfixated on it again, lol. It's one of my favorite games, I especially love the ghosts too. I like to think that some of the boss ghosts can't really leave the hotel or choose to stay in the hotel due to rage, sorrow, obligation or just to chill(which is half-freed)

Freed soul = 🟡

Bound soul(by rage, sorrow, etc) = 🔵

Half freed = 🟢

These are my headcanons for them:

Steward: used to work at the hotel before it was taken over. Felt obligated to stay there 🔵

Chambrea: also worked there and also felt obligated 🔵

Kruller: Has nowhere else to really go after he died 🟡

Chef soufflé: Worked there and felt obligation too 🔵

Amadeus Wolfgeist: Out of rage for nobody taking him seriously as a pianist when he was alive. Decided to stay and terrorize any human who listens to him perform 🟢

King MacFrights: Out of vengeance for his fallen kingdom and the royal family 🔵

Dr. Potter: Stayed to take care of his plants. Just chilling 🟡

Morty: To make movies and express his ✨️art✨️ 🟡

Ug: Bound by the t-rex that ate him. Stays in the museum mostly 🔵

Clem: The janitor of the hotel. Felt obligated too, although can leave 🟢

Serpci: Just to chill. Doesn't hold any anger or grudge, died with honor but decided to stay and hang out 🟡

Nikki, Lindsey, and Ginney: Wanted to stay and show their magic to everyone in the hotel, trying to reach the fame they never could before they died 🟢

Captain Fishook: Isn't bound at all but chooses to stay and hang out with some of the minor ghosts his "crew". One of the more friendly ghosts as he died knowing he did what a captain should, but misses his past crew dearly. Can leave the hotel whenever he likes and floats around, feeling more free than ever before 🟡

Johnny Deepend: Only half bound by his sorrow. He died while playing water polo with his best friend as he accidentally got caught on some rocks. His friend was too late to save him and they both feel guilt. He just hopes his friend is ok and living his life 🟢

Phantasmagloria: Isn't bound but stays to chill and dance the afterlife away 🟡

Hellen gravely: Bound as she used to own the hotel + king boo, lol 🔵

I didn’t know I’d live to see the day a comfort character for a lot of people is the 3rd hottest character-

Looks: Frankly I did base his criteria on the 1990s because the show Cops was started 1989, and he seems to have much more inspiration from it vs when mall cops were actually founded. Long story short according to google, generally security guards were founded in 1850 by Pinkerton National Detective Agency so… yeah we’re gonna go the easy route. Kruller did… average in this catagory due to his weight and the heavy emphasis on the chiseled human body during this time period (source: The Dominant Narrative: 1990’s Beauty Standards on counterarchive.hosting.nyu.edu, warning: people in little clothing showing off body, unhealthy body ideals.) However, Kruller DOES succeed in being tall (his model is absolutely MASSIVE if you actually compare his to other models of Luigi’s Mansion 3 ghosts) and having a minimalistic silhouette! (Source: Beauty Ideal Over the Decades part 4: The 90s by Idealist Style. Warning: because it focuses on women, lots of women showing excessive skin.)

Personality: So out of the rare few ghosts that got perfect scores for this catagory, Kruller is one of which who got 10/10 due to his personality dynamic and lack of toxic traits. So Kruller understandably is scared, who wouldn’t be in an environment where your job is supposed to stop criminals when its basically midnight? However, Kruller has a counter to his own cowardly nature: sunglasses. Kruller and Luigi, I would argue, are both easy to scare characters but find ways to overcome that in order to do whatever task is at hand. Kruller’s interesting way of coping is through a physical object that gives him confidence, and it isn’t just specific sunglasses! Throughout his fight, he’ll wear different sunglasses/glasses to replace his original pair of shades. Not only did Kruller think on his feet (tail?) when Luigi entered to his surprise, but he managed to arm himself under a calm composure instead of panicking. He didn’t know that Gooigi was weak to water, so the fact the water gun was a threat to Gooigi just makes me even the more impressed at Kruller’s confidence in his limited options.

Survival Rate: The only threat Kruller can pose is through throwing his body at someone, like he does to Gooigi as a melee attack. Otherwise, yeah this guy wouldn’t be able to accidentally kill people (and I’m choosing to avoid the fat joke of crushing someone to death—)

Niceness Rate: Pretty high! Seems to be a rule follower, but also tends to be lax too. His job is literally to enforce rules, but then again in his office he’s just fiddling with the button as he reads a book.

I don't take criticism. (Part 2)
