Appearance
Ernie the Pest, in his ghost form, resembles a large glowing green centipede-like creature. He is segmented, and each segment has a pair of legs for a total of 6 legs. He also has four arms that each end in three-fingered claws. He has three large yellow eyes with black pupils. His mouth is filled with large dagger-like teeth, and he has a small tusk on each corner of his mouth. He has two large ghostly antennae, therefore reinforcing his insect-like appearance. The end of its body has a small ghostly tail.

Jack the Reaper
Ernie the Pest is fought at the end of Empire State Round 5. He attacks by trying to eat Jack, swiping at him, dropping a piece of concrete on him, or spewing acid down at him. The battle takes place on the side of the Empire State Building as Ernie is crawling around on the side of the building. Jack stands on a window washer's platform. In order to damage Ernie, Jack must wait until Ernie's tail in visible. Once it is, Jack can lasso onto it, pulling him up to Ernie's head, where a quicktime event will take place. Once he reaches Ernie's head, he can begin slashing at it.

Ernie the Pest is defeated when Jack shoves his scythe into Ernie's mouth, causing Ernie's spirit to become filled with excess ectoplasm, causing him to explode into a green mist, which is then sucked into Jack's hat.

Death
In life, Ernie the Pest was a serial killer named Bernard Gorelli. He was tried in court and recieved the death sentence. In death, his "pest" nickname gave him an insectoid body shape as a ghost.
