 ===Origin===
-Gastly seems to be based on general {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits as depicted by cartoons, or even a {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}. It may also have been based on the Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} {{wp|Onibi#S.C5.8Dgenbi|sōgen bi}}, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its {{t|Poison}} type is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.
