Ghost Knight Boss – Top-Down 8-Direction Sprite (HD)
An HD ghost boss for top-down games. A phantom knight on a spectral horse: pale, see-through and softly glowing, with a greatsword and a cloak that trails into mist, every animation in all 8 directions, 340×309 px frames (plus 128 px copies), plus 3 effects.
Also in the Bosses Set: all 20 bosses in one download.
Colour variations
4 colour variations: Ghost Knight in Violet, Crimson, Toxic Green and Ice Blue. Every animation in all 8 directions, the same sheets and Godot 4 SpriteFrames, plus recolour masks and a small Godot 4 shader for your own colours (optional ColourVariations folder).
Three attacks
A soul rend, a void crack and a charging death ride, each in all 8 directions, aimed where the rider faces.
Besides the regular death there is a mist death: the ghost falls, then fades upward into mist, ending on empty frames so you can remove it without a pop.

- Combat: attack (soul rend), attack2 (void crack), attack3 (death ride)
- Reactions: hurt, death, mist death
All 8 directions

Frozen and petrified
Included in the Boss Status Sheets download: frozen and petrified sprites for this boss. These are character-specific sheets; they are not a separate boss form.
Quick import
- Godot 4: copy the character folder into your project and assign its SpriteFrames to an AnimatedSprite2D.
- Other engines: slice the PNG sheets using the cell size, row order (S, SE, E, NE, N, NW, W, SW) and FPS from the JSON.
- Keep the supplied feet pivot so the boss stands on the ground in every direction.
License

FAQ
Which size should I use? The native 340×309 px or the 128 px copies; pick one scale for your camera.
Can I use it as a regular enemy? Yes. It is a full character with movement, attacks, hurt and death, so it works as an elite or a regular enemy too.
Does it match the other packs? Yes: every character in the series uses the same camera angle, light direction and finish, so the boss fits next to any pack.
Anything added to this pack later is free if you already own it.
