"WHAT'S NUKED, SCOOBY-DOOMSDAY?" — VOLTERGEIST



Voltergeists are the sizzling psychic manifestations of those killed via electrocution. The hostile beings appear as portly, plodding, 8'-tall bipeds composed of crackling energy.  Despite their incandescence and noisiness, voltergeists are bizarrely stealthy.

Voltergeists can burn through any obstruction.

Voltergeists feed on electricity, and absorb it from any contraption they contact.  They also hate mechanical devices in all their forms (including robots), and target them for destruction after dealing with living opponents.
