Origin

The attract mode of Pac-Man gives names to the ghosts.

The four ghosts have become recurring elements in the Pac-Man series. Their appearance is based off of the 8-bit sprites from the original Pac-Man. Their movement patterns are also based off of the original game: Blinky follows Pac-Man, Pinky ambushes Pac-Man between her and Blinky, Inky aims for a location based on Blinky's distance from Pac-Man, and Clyde emulates Blinky's movement pattern but steers himself into the lower left corner when he comes close to Pac-Man. Twice per round, Blinky speeds up after a certain amount of dots are eaten; this behavior is incorporated into the ghosts' Assist Trophy by having them speed up over its duration. While additional ghosts have made appearances in subsequent Pac-Man titles, the four introduced in the original arcade title have remained the most iconic, and thus have made the most appearances.

Each of the ghosts has a different personality:

• Blinky is the leader of the ghosts. He is hot-headed, determined, and enjoys frightening others. In the Pac-Man World games, he is also shown to be sneaky and conceited. In Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Blinky is well-meaning and loyal to his friends, but enjoys picking on Pac-Man sometimes.
• Pinky is the female ghost with a crush on Pac-Man. In the Pac-Man World games, she is cunning, sly and mean. In Pac-Man Party, she is portrayed as adorable, sweet and clever, but in Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, she is jealous, prone to anger and dimwitted, but devoted to Pac-Man.
• Inky is the goofy, shy and somewhat dim member of the ghosts. In Pac-Man Party, Inky is afraid of spiders. In Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Inky is more intelligent, sarcastic
