Creatures native to the Ghost Zone are composed entirely of [[Ecto-Energy]] and can have a variety of appearances. Some may just appear as gelatinous Ecto-Energy with facial features.

"So you're half ghost right?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Does that mean you're like, half-dead?"
"It's...complicated."
Ben Tennyson and Danny Fenton[src]

A Ghost is a term used to describe a sentient being native to the omniversal anomaly known as the Ghost Zone.

A Ghost can either be the spirit of a deceased living creature from Danny's Dimension whose soul was caught in the Ghost Zone upon their death and infused with Ecto-Energy, or a sentient being made of Pure Ecto-Energy that was born native to the Ghost Zone.

Appearance

The Natives

Creatures native to the Ghost Zone are composed entirely of Ecto-Energy and can have a variety of appearances. Some may just appear as gelatinous Ecto-Energy with facial features. Others, like Frostbite and Undergrowth, can appear more organic and monstrous.

There have been Ghostly Dragons, Skeletons, Living Nature, Living Weather, even Living Shadows that have been documented from the Ghost Zone. Being a cosmic anomaly, there are no concrete rules or limits to the types of creatures that can spawn from the Ghost Zone.

The Spirits

The majority of all known Ghosts are the spirits of deceased humans. They typically resemble their natural human appearance when alive, but with glowing eyes that lack pupils.

Over time, they begin to evolve/corrupt the longer they are exposed to the Ecto-Energy of the Ghost Zone and can have unnaturally colored skin (like blue, green, or white), pointed ears, and irregular muscle structures. Danny remained Caucasian when first receiving his Ghost Form due to being half human. Over the course of this corruption, they become more and more powerful but more feral. Only a select few Ghosts have been able to overcome the immense mental strain of the corruption, achieving what some refer to as "Godhood", with the most notable of these Ghosts being the powerful Ghost known as Clockwork.

A Spirit will continue to grow more and more but will never truly gain a final form.
