a ghostly hunter, though in this case the "whale" is a burrowing beast whose presence disrupts and eventually destroys all electrical technology. Moby Ghost, as you may have guessed, is about a whale-like ectoplasmic spirit vs. His design is simple, but not bad at all, calling to mind how "zombies" often looked in older comics and cartoons. It turns out that the Somniwyrms are just extensions of the dream-demon, Morpheus, who hopes the energy they gather might allow him to construct a body in the physical world. When the ghostbusters investigate a rash of people unable to awaken from sleep, they find adorable ectoplasmic parasites identified as "somniwyrms," which attach long, thin feeding tubes to slumbering humans and feed on their dreams.but, for some reason, the somniwyrms can't be trapped, and only disintegrate when hit by a proton beam. Rather than repeat myself here, I suggest you read what we've already talked about regarding this one. The Grundel is one of the only ghosts from The Real Ghostbusters to make a return appearance in this series, and he definitely fits the show's darker, more disturbing style. He also keeps the banshees from "Sonic Youth" on leashes by his throne, apparently to use their vocal powers in controlling his minions. Surt himself is at least another fairly interesting design a shaggy hulk with yak-like horns and no eyes. This episode wants to be an epic brush with Doomsday, but it just piles too many elements together.

You can tell these three were either not designed by Barlow or not designed with the same care as most of our other ghosts, possibly because they're such an arbitrary addition to the whole plot. While Slimer and Eduardo adventure through containment, Egon gets transformed into this goofy wind elemental, Roland into a crawling crawling fire elemental and Garret into this somewhat regrettably designed Earth elemental. The very best thing about this episode has to be these things that roost upside-down, like bats, but unfurl into more spider-like monsters with oversized, skeletal heads and jaws. This gaggle of ghouls will actually reappear in a couple of other episodes, part of a larger set of "stock" ghosts designed by Barlow and Peck, then kind of butchered and mangled by the animators.Īnother ghost trapped in containment looks very slightly, if accidentally, lik Eduardo if you squint hard enough, which he takes advantage of by strapping his own gear to the poor ghost, tying the proton blaster in an "on" position and using it as a distraction. Upon entering containment, Slimer is apprehended by some spidery-limbed, long-legged thing disguised as one of the containment realm's ramshackle metal panels.

What follows is a pretty weird sequence of events.

When Fenris almost breaks free from the containment unit, however, Slimer pushes him back in and gets himself trapped inside for the second time in Ghostbusters animated continuity, leaving Eduardo to enter the containment unit and retrieve him. Fenris is interesting enough for a big, scary dog, with a more goblinesque face and legs that taper into points rather than paws. No, really, they'd just have interns write them scripts like I said, Barlow's art is what really saved it. I think they might be mixing up their Norse gods here, but whatever, this show was mostly ghostwritten. This rather elaborate episode begins with the rampage of Fenris, the supernatural canine which, in this series, serves the evil demonic god Surt. (Thanks to Matthew Jordan for noticing this.Extreme Ghostbusters Ghosts: Part III Continuing from last time, we're about to look at the remaining monsters from the (mostly) surprisingly good Extreme Ghostbusters. In the original episode, the longer piece of footage appears at the 8:45 mark.

That is, until the Real Ghostbusters get in trouble, and the Extreme Ghostbusters must save their butts.

But then they decide they've "still got it," and the Extreme Ghostbusters now feel that they are the obsolete ones. Synopsis: Ray, Winston and Peter return for Egon's birthday celebration and decide to bust some ghosts, just for nostalgia's sake. Writer: Gary Stuart Kaplan, Larry Swerdlove
