There’s a perfectly rational explanation for this. Perhaps these items are the product of a mage’s trickery, or automata dreamed up by Gallo’s gibbering scientists. Maybe each one is filled with a colony of vindictive ants that push them around from inside. Let’s eliminate those possibilities before we mention ghosts.

Poltergeist is an enemy that appears in Gallo Tower and Cappella Magna. In Gallo Tower the candelabra variants appear in the map event, Poltergeist Roulette, which can be triggered by stepping on a trap. In Cappella Magna, the gem-like variants are spawned as a part of The Trickster's attack pattern.

Poltergeist's health is based on the player's level. If the player gets close enough, it triggers its self-destruct, exploding 2 seconds later for 50 damage. It has no collision and does not take knockback.
