Biography[]
This spectral fiend hides in the beds within an unidentified mattress business run by both the Rat & the Weasel and seeks to possess its living victims to spread chaos and horror.
It makes its presence known by manifesting an evil face to frighten Courage. It later shifts into its gaseous, cloudy form and immediately takes possession of Muriel changing her appearance to green skin with wavy orange hair with a deep, male, demonic voice. Courage and Eustace spend most of the episode to get rid of the evil spirit but the spirit laughed at their attempts and tried to scare them away by severing Muriel's head and asking them to give her a "helping hand" and pick up the head.
Until Courage uses the incantation to drive the spirit out of Muriel minutes later, it possesses Eustace but Muriel knocks him out with a rolling pin and orders the mattress to be taken back along with the possessed Eustace.
