A Boo is a type of ghost that appears in some of Nintendo's Mario video games. When Mario (or Luigi) looks toward this creature, it blushes, covers its face, and stops moving. When Mario turns away, the Boo becomes vicious and chases him. A larger boss version exists, known as "The Big Boo." Other types include "Fishin' Boo", who floats overhead dangling a lethal blue flame.
