I never expected one of the most terrifying Haunt Glyphs on Nibiru to become one of my closest companions. Boopop first appeared outside our underground sanctuary deep within the desert, surrounded by mountains of candy and ghostly spirits. At first everyone believed it was a dangerous monster attacking innocent people, but the truth was heartbreaking.

Long ago an ancient Veil Storm destroyed entire Halloween festival cities across Nibiru. Thousands of children lost their lives that night, and their sorrow and fear eventually formed the Haunt Glyph now known as Boopop. The Council of Elders covered up the disaster for centuries and secretly hunted Boopop because it carried memories of what truly happened.

When me, Luna, Astra, and Aurabeak confronted the ghostly Glyph, Boopop attacked us with terrifying candy illusions and phantom spirits. But during the battle I realized it wasn’t evil. It was scared, lonely, and hiding from the same people responsible for abandoning it long ago.

After protecting Boopop from the Council and driving them away from the sanctuary, the little ghost Glyph chose to stay with me. Despite its creepy powers and haunting appearance, Boopop turned out to be strangely sweet and affectionate. It loves floating beside me, booping my head, and dropping candy everywhere inside the sanctuary much to Astra’s annoyance.

Boopop may be a powerful Haunt Glyph born from tragedy, but now it finally has a family.
