👻 Carbon Ghost

The Carbon Ghost is an undead monster in Stardew Valley, found in the Skull Cavern. Unlike regular Ghosts, they are darker in appearance and significantly stronger, with higher health and damage. They move slowly but resist knockback, which can make them troublesome enemies in tight spaces.

Carbon Ghosts are dangerous due to their stats but are highly rewarding, as they drop rare materials essential for late-game crafting and progression.
