Character Background
Ghoultar is a member of the ghostly army led by Morro in the Possession season of Ninjago, known for his love of food and comical yet dangerous presence as a spirit warrior
Design Notes
Utilizes the specialized trans-neon green ghost tail piece introduced in the 2015 wave, replacing standard legs to give a convincing floating apparition effect
Similar Minifigures
Soul Archer, Spythor, Morro, Bansha, and other ghostly warriors from the 2015 Ninjago Possession wave
Collectibility
Moderately high for Ninjago completionists and fans of the popular Ghost wave, though general market demand is stable rather than explosive
History
Introduced in 2015 during the peak years of the Ninjago storyline, marking a major shift towards supernatural and ghostly enemy factions
Interesting Facts
In the TV show, Ghoultar is famously obsessed with eating despite being a ghost, providing a humorous contrast to his frightening appearance
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent acrylic stand to simulate the floating effect of the ghost tail, grouped alongside other members of Morro's ghost army
Modification Potential
Great for custom Halloween-themed MOCs or fantasy dioramas due to the versatile trans-neon green ghost parts and spooky color palette
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly thematic villain minifigure with unique translucent elements that stand out nicely in any Ninjago or fantasy collection
