 ===Origin===
-Haunter is possibly based on the {{wp|Philippine_mythology#Mythological_creatures.2C_demons_and_monsters|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}}. Like {{p|Gengar}}, Haunter may also be based on the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, as it possesses what may be pointed ears, a large, toothy grin, and the ability to vanish at will.
