Description Here is the Boggart that I designed for the introduction of Extreme Ghostbusters animation back in 1987. My pencil design was inked by Helen Maier, who was an invaluable member of my Character Design team.

I liked the Boggart design so much that I reused him in episode #115 "Grease" (this was the episode production number not the order that it was aired).

These two zooming across the screen was always my favourite part of the intro as a kid

Always loved him! What can possibly be better than Gremlin (i know it's not but back in that period i loved every little nasty creature with big ears and was calling them gremlins) riding a fish!

A flying ghost fish! He using it as a turbo bike or something. It's almost as cool as that "train ghost with spiky wheel".

Yeah I wish that he'd been on the screen for longer.

"Boggart"? Nice nod to folklore!

Was there a name for the dude he's riding on?

filbarlow In reply to sanshugroove [2013-08-23 06:59:04 +0000 UTC]

He never got named
Any suggestions?

Hmm. How about Sylph? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylph

Maybe mixing that with a fish like sardines, maybe Sylphine, or dolphins, Sylphon?

Those are both great ideas, hard for me to pick one. Sylphon has a slighter better ring to it, imo.

Agreed! Sylphon it is!

Don't tease me, but it made my Monday that I got to help name a ghost with Fil Barlow.

I dig his outfit. Must have been a regular trend setter in his corner of the afterlife.

Yes, I hear that toe-less socks, tights and vests are all the rage.

Fly even, I think it's unfair to batter elves... then fry them
