The enemies in Pac-Man are known variously as "ghosts" and "monsters".[19][20][21]
Despite the seemingly random nature of the enemies, their movements are strictly deterministic, which players have used to their advantage.[22]
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.[23]
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.[24]
While he claimed that the orange enemy's behavior is random,
a careful analysis of 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 Pac-Man is facing a certain direction.[25]
