Ghost Pepper is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effects

• Shooting tears sometimes spawns a fire similar to Red Candle, damaging enemies and destroying shots it comes into contact with.
• Creating farts through items/pills such as Re-Lax, The Poop, Butter Bean, and etc causes fires to appear alongside the poop. The only exception to this is the farts generated by Butt Penny.

Notes

• The chance of spawning fire is not affected by luck.

• Dr. Fetus: Fires can be spawned while firing bombs.
• Epic Fetus: Fires can be spawned while moving the crosshair.
