The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is a fictional character from the Ghostbusters franchise, who sometimes appears as a giant, lumbering, and paranormal monster. He first appears in the 1984 Ghostbusters film as a logo on a bag of marshmallows in Dana Barrett’s apartment, on an advertisement on a building near the Ghostbusters’ headquarters, and finally as the physical manifestation and form of the apocalyptic Sumerian deity Gozer.

Dana’s bag of Stay-Puft Marshmallows

Stay-Puft is a large obese white humanoid-like figure made of conjoined marshmallows. He wears a white sailor cap with a red ribbon attached on top, and a blue hatband. Around his neck is a traditional blue sailor’s collar and a red neckerchief. Dan Aykroyd conceived the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man for his initial script for Ghostbusters. He created the character to show that “it seems harmless and puffy and cute—but given the right circumstances, everything can be turned black and become evil”.

After images of him are seen on an advertisement and a bag of the marshmallows earlier in the film, he is then seen in the climax of Ghostbusters as one of the physical manifestations and forms of Gozer, a god who is defeated when Stay-Puft is destroyed. Stay-Puft’s exact to-scale height in the movie is 112.5 feet (34.3 m) tall. Stay-Puft is categorized as a Class 7 Outsider Avatar.

“I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us, Mr. Stay Puft … We used to roast Stay Puft marshmallows by the fire at Camp Wauconda.” – Ray Stanz
