👻 Ghost

The Ghost is an undead monster in Stardew Valley, commonly encountered in the Mines. Ghosts float slowly toward the player, phasing through walls and obstacles. Although they move slowly, their knockback resistance makes them frustrating to fight, as they often get pushed far away after being hit.

Ghosts can drop valuable items such as Solar Essence and occasionally rare minerals, making them worth defeating when encountered.
