Several different ghosts have appeared throughout the franchise, aside from the ones in the main aforementioned group . </P> <P> The enemies in Pac - Man are known variously as "ghosts", "goblins", and "monsters". Despite the seemingly random nature of the enemies, their movements are strictly deterministic, which players have used to their advantage . In an interview, creator Toru Iwatani stated that he had designed each enemy with its own distinct personality in order to keep the game from becoming impossibly difficult or boring to play . More recently, Iwatani described the enemy behaviors in more detail at the 2011 Game Developers Conference . He stated that the red enemy chases Pac - Man, and the pink and blue enemies try to position themselves in front of Pac - Man's mouth . Although he claimed that the orange enemy's behavior is random, the game's code reveals that it actually chases Pac - Man most of the time, but also moves toward the lower - left corner of the maze when it gets too close to Pac - Man . </P>
