Haunt
Haunt is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
Haunt tracks the opponent that defeated the player. Haunt is restricted to clothing as a main ability.
Contents
Splatoon
Haunt marks the opponent that defeated the player with a position-tracking mark for 9 seconds. This mark can be seen by the player with the ability and their team, similar to 
Point Sensor or 
Echolocator. Haunt activates automatically if the player gets splatted by another Inkling. Its effect is reduced by 
Cold Blooded.
Haunt also has a 
Damage Up, 
Defense Up, and 
Run Speed Up effect when the player with Haunt is marked by Point Sensor, Echolocator, or Haunt.
Mutual exclusivity
This ability is found as the main ability only on clothing, so other abilities found only on shoes are mutually exclusive with it; in other words players cannot have them together. These abilities are Cold Blooded, 
Ninja Squid, and 
Recon. In addition, since wearing the 
Splatfest Tee is mandatory during a Splatfest, these abilities cannot be used for the duration of those events.
Use
Haunt is good for players who usually play on the flanks or run support, or try and stop enemies from out-flanking their team. This is because if a flank or back is lost, then the team is notified that an enemy may be coming up from the behind.
Teammates should be able to avenge their fallen allies much more easily.
Because of its interaction with Point Sensor and Echolocator, Haunt can be considered a pseudo-counter ability for these sub and special weapons.

— In-game Description
|
||
Haunt shows the location of the opponent that defeated the player for 26 seconds. The opponent is shown as a white silhouette, similar to the effects of how 
Thermal Ink and Sting Ray shows opponents. The marked opponent can only be seen by the player with the ability. Haunt activates automatically if the player gets splatted by another Inkling. The effect will wear off momentarily if the distance between the player and the opponent becomes too small. The distance required for the revealing effect to activate can be increased by 
Cold-Blooded. If the player manages to splat the opponent who activated Haunt, the opponent will suffer the penalties of 
Respawn Punisher, which forces their respawn time to increase from 8.5 to 9.2 seconds, and forces them to lose an extra 15% of their special gauge upon being splatted.
Mutual exclusivity
This ability is found as the main ability only on clothing, so other abilities found only on shoes are mutually exclusive with it; in other words players cannot have them together. These abilities are 
Ability Doubler, 
Ninja Squid, Respawn Punisher, and Thermal Ink. In addition, since wearing the 
Splatfest Tee is mandatory during a Splatfest, these abilities cannot be used for the duration of those events.
