“	You've been beaten by Pac-Man! Now you must suffer the consequences!	„
	~ Ghost Witch of Netor

The Ghost Witch of Netor, also known as the Ghost Witch, is the overarching antagonist of Namco's Pac-Man franchise.

She is a wicked witch who is a former but abusive and failure-intolerant leader of the Ghost Gang trying to get rid of Pac-Man. She is also Pac-Man's arch-nemesis.

She can also be incredibly outraged, such as when the Ghost Gang failed to defeat Pac-Man.

Roles

She serves as the main antagonist of Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures and Pac-in-Time and the overarching antagonist of Pac-Man Museum + (serving as the main antagonist of Pac-in-Time).

Personality

She is an evil, cruel, arrogant, wrathful, power-hungry, greedy, serious, scary, envious, failure-intolerant, horrific, vengeful, tyrannical, and hegemonic witch.

She hates Pac-Man for always ruining her scheme of world domination, to the point of wanting to kill him (and directly in Pac-in-Time, where she teleports Pac-Man back in time and transforms him into a young Pac-Boy).

She does not care about her minions, abusing the ghost gang by zapping them out of their cloaks each time they fail to defeat Pac-Man. She does not even care for Gum Monster, despite it being her creation. She only cried after the defeat of Gum Monster because it failed to defeat Pac-Man, not because she cared for the monster. She is heartless and careless and will use her minions as pawns or tools to achieve her goals rather than caring for them.

Appearance

She is an evil witch with long red hair, blue pale skin, and wears a purple cloak. She has a white streak going through her hair from the center of her forehead all the way to the back of her head.

Biography

Her past is unknown, but it is implied that she was a witch who wished to conquer the world.

Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures

As she still wants to conquer the world, she becomes the leader of the Ghost Gang (a group of ghosts who failed to get rid of Pac-Man). Together, they rule the abandoned factory, turning it into a scary headquarters where she continues to plot with conquering the world, along with a great being.

In the first mission, Ghost Witch finds out about the ghosts not being able to kill Pac-Man, so she commands them to try again (as she knows that Pac-Man can ruin her evil plot), all while Pac-Man is being ordered by his wife, Ms. Pac-Man, to get milk for Pac-Baby, who is hungry. Pac-Man defeats the ghosts (getting the first card from them) and gets the milk for Pac-Baby. Ghost Witch gets mad at the ghosts and yells at them, shooting lightning at the ghosts, causing them to lose their physical forms and to go away only with their eyes.

In the second mission, it is Lucy's birthday. Pac-Man is ordered by Ms. Pac-Man to get a flower from the mountains for Lucy. The Ghost Witch commands the ghosts to get rid of Pac-Man again, but they are defeated by Pac-Man again (again dropping one of the three cards), who later finds the perfect flower for Lucy. Ghost Witch gets even angrier at the ghosts for failing again and yells at them again.

In the third mission, Ghost Witch commands the ghosts to steal Jr. Pac-Man's guitar. After stealing the guitar, she disguises the ghosts to prevent Pac-Man from questioning them, all while Jr. Pac-Man is telling Pac-Man that they stole his guitar. Pac-Man goes to Pac-City and finds out about the ghosts in their disguise, defeats them, and gets the guitar back. Ghost Witch yells at the ghosts again for failing for the third time.

In the fourth mission, she returns to her plot about conquering the world, along with a great being: the Gum Monster. She commands the ghosts to get the gum from the people in all Pac-City to make the Gum Monster (to which they succeeded). Later, she puts a broadcast on every TV in Pac-Land and tells her evil plot with the Gum Monster to everyone. Pac-Man again defeats the ghosts and gets the last card, makes his way to the abandoned factory, and uses the cards to access the Ghost Witch's and Gum Monster's hideout, only to get scared of the Gum Monster, who becomes larger. Pac-Man becomes Super Pac-Man and defeats the Gum Monster. However, the witch escapes and tells Pac-Man that they will come back for revenge.

Pac-in-Time

She returns with a new evil scheme to cause Pac-Man to go back in time (with the hopes of him not returning to the current day) to when he was a young boy. Pac-Man, despite being a boy, makes his way to the Castle that is ruled by the new Gum Monster, defeats all the ghosts and the Gum Monster again, and returns to the current day with the Ghost Witch's curse ruined.

It's unknown what happened to the Ghost Witch of Netor after Pac-Man returned from the past. It's possible that after yelling at the ghosts once again, they all turned against her for her abusive behavior towards them, ending her reign of terror, while the ghosts try to get rid of Pac-Man by themselves, without an abusive master.

Pac-Man Museum +

In the 2022 Pac-Man game collection, the Ghost Witch appears in the rerelease of Pac-in-Time as the main antagonist. Not only that, but she also had some cameos in this collection. She can be seen in the upper-left corner of the box art and in the launch trailer.
