Rarity
Uncommon. Released only during the Possession wave (Season 5) sets, though mass-produced for that range.
Head
Transparent Fluorescent Green (Trans-Neon Green) with angry ghost-molded facial printing in purple and black; features fangs and furrowed brows.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with purple tattered robe printing front and back; jagged 'spirit' aesthetic and dark azure highlights; Lime/Trans-Neon Green arms and hands.
Legs
Transparent Fluorescent Green (Trans-Neon Green) lower legs with dark purple hip and upper leg printing, featuring tattered robe fringes.
Accessories
Black spiked shoulder armor (Pauldron) with dual clips; two Lime/Glow-in-the-dark Katana swords mounted on the back.
Color Scheme
A striking contrast of Trans-Neon Green, Dark Blue, and Dark Purple, designed to simulate a ghostly glow.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on a translucent base; the robe detail flows from the torso down onto the legs for a continuous look.
Variants
Variations of this ghost body were used for Wrayth, Bansha, and Yokai, differing mainly by the headpiece or additional armor/hats.
Condition Notes
Translucent plastic is more brittle than standard ABS; check for cracks in the heels and torso sides. The neon green can fade if exposed to direct sunlight.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $12.00 USD used complete; individual torso/leg parts are common in bulk lots.
Price (New)
N/A (Included in sets ranging from $19.99 to $119.99 in 2015).
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Wrayth and Bansha are high-ranking members of Morro's Ghost Army from the Cursed Realm, tasked with finding the Realm Crystal.
Design Notes
Introduced the innovative 'ghost lower body' and widespread use of trans-neon green for character limbs to signify supernatural status.
Similar Minifigures
Ghoultar, Soul Archer, Morro, and the Ghost Ninja variants.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. The 'Possession' wave is considered a peak era for creative villain design.
History
Following the success of skeletons and snakes, ghosts were Ninjago's first foray into heavily translucent character designs.
Interesting Facts
The legs are actually interchangeable with most humanoid ghosts from this era, making 'custom' ghost warriors very easy to build.
Display Suggestions
Display on a black or dark baseplate to make the Trans-Neon Green pieces 'pop,' ideally under a UV light for maximum effect.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs involving spirits, radiation victims, or sci-fi holograms due to the translucent parts.
Overall Assessment
A visually stunning minifigure that represents the creative peak of Ninjago's mid-season designs. A must-have for fans of the show's dark fantasy elements.
