(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)


==Biology==

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, 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}}.
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 ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that it can control its hands from far away and can control any Pokémon that it touches with its hands. Haunter have also been depicted as being able to create illusions,<ref>''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion]]''</ref> pull out spirits from an individual’s body,<ref>''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''</ref> and even remove its own eyes from its face<ref>''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''</ref>. Despite its predatory nature, it is known to entertain and prank people, such as in the episode ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. Additionally, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it is even shown to feel intense loyalty to a deceased Trainer. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Haunter is known to sleep while floating.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> A sleeping Haunter will steal the {{DL|Death in the Pokémon world|life-force}} of anyone who comes near using its gaseous tongue.

===Design variations===

However, in most of Haunter's depictions in other media, such as throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' (including the [[original series]]), it has always been depicted with two fingers and a thumb.

===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 {{wp|ghost}}. It shares many similarities with the {{wp|yōkai}} {{wp|akashita|akaguchi}}, a creature with a wide mouth and a long tongue whose body is covered by dark clouds, making only its head and clawed hands visible.
 
While Haunter's long tongue is a recurring theme among many yōkai, its vampiric licking might have come from the Dila, a Philippine spirit that licked the life energy of sick people until they died, or from some variants of the {{wp|akaname}}.
 
Some of Haunter's traits, such as its {{t|Poison}} type and extremely light weight, seem to be based on {{jwp|浮遊霊|Fuyūrei}}, floating spirits said to be able to spread diseases.
