Boos are mischievous ghostly enemies seen in the Super Mario franchise. They like to haunt mansions and scare people, but they are also shy and tend hide their faces when looked at directly. They appear as Guest Objects the Wii U and European 3DS versions of Scribblenauts Unlimited.
Boos have 100 HP and deal 5 HP per hit when they attack.
Like other Nintendo guest objects, Boos can only be given specified items, cannot have adjectives applied to them, and cannot be edited with the Object Editor.
Behavior
Boos prefer not to attack and will follow Mario, Luigi, and the player while expressing the 
emotion. Mario and Luigi become scared of this and run away, which results in the Boo chasing them. Boos are otherwise harmless to all other NPCs and don't attack unless they are provoked.
Boos prefer to just scare Mario and Luigi and don't actually harm them. However, Boos can be dangerous towards the brothers when paired other Mario series enemies, even weak ones. This is because Boos make the brothers too scared to fight back against the other enemy, allowing the enemy to freely attack them.
Boos will also pick up any Super Mushrooms they see while expressing the 
emotion. They do not use the Mushrooms on themselves, and instead simply pick them up.
Unlike in the Mario series, Boos do not react to being looked at.
Trivia
- Boos are the only Nintendo enemy that won't directly harm any other Nintendo characters.
- Boos stealing Mushrooms is a reference to the Boo item from the Mario Kart series.
- Boos are able to be handed Super Mushrooms directly, and they are the only items Boos can be given.
- The Boo still does not use the Mushroom on itself in this scenario though.
- Boos do not try to steal Super Stars or Fire Flowers, even though those are also items in the Mario Kart series.
- Despite being ghosts, Boos are immune to the Quantum Destabilizers, and Ghost Hunters do not fight them.
