The Shrewd Possessor (known as Scornufl Possessor in the PAL region) is the fourth boss of the game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It is first seen in the Secret Mines, trying to kill a small, purple, furry creature called a fuzzball. Later, he takes control of the frozen ground and turns into an icy monster to battle Luigi.
Appearance
The Shrewd Possessor is a tall, white, four-horned ghost with a Dark Moon shard where his heart should be.
Battle
The Shrewd Possessor turns into a giant, monstrous, icy face on the ground. It creates a giant hole that drags in
The Shrewd Possessor's Icy Monster form.
Luigi as well as a sled equipped with bombs. Luigi must ride the sled down the hole and fire bombs at the ice sheets protecting the Possessor's face. After all the ice is gone, the Possessor with charge Luigi with his mouth open. If Luigi fires a bomb into the monster's mouth, the face will explode and the Possessor will be knocked out. It will charge Luigi several times using portals, but will then hit a wall and let Luigi catch him. The face will then reform. Luigi must repeat the process twice to win, each phase earning the face another ice sheet to protect himself. The player must use caution, for if the sled overheats (it only cools down when one of the Possessor's skins is destroyed), it's an automatic Game Over for Luigi. The sled takes a while to overheat so you can take the time to remove the icy sheets.
