Ghost Pepper is a passive item added in Afterbirth †.

Effects[edit | edit source]

Shooting tears sometimes spawns a fire similar to Red Candle, damaging enemies and destroying shots it comes into contact with.
Use of pooping items (Re-Lax, The Poop, etc) causes fires to appear alongside the poop.

Brimstone: The flames can still shoot from Isaac while holding the fire button.
Dr. Fetus: Fires can be spawned while firing bombs.
Epic Fetus: Fires can be spawned while moving the crosshair.
Ipecac: Fires are spawned as normal and can be hit by Ipecac tears, making this especially dangerous with a multi-shot ability.
Mom's Knife: The flames can still shoot from Isaac while holding the fire button.
Monstro's Lung: The flames can still shoot from Isaac while holding the fire button.
The Poop: Fire will appear behind Isaac.
Technology: Will occasionally spawn a fire. The lasers will not douse the flames.
Tech X: Will occasionally spawn firing while charging lasers. Laser rings will not douse the flames.
Trisagion: Will occasionally spawn a fire while firing beams. Fires damage is not reduced.
Wait What?: Will spawn fire upon use.

20/20/ The Inner Eye/ Mutant Spider: Will only spawn one fire.
Anti-Gravity: When holding down the fire button, when fire spawns it will be almost immediately put out by the clumps of tears.
Blood Clot: No effect.
Compound Fracture/ Cricket's Body/ The Parasite: Fires cannot split.
Homing tears: Flames will not be homing.
Incubus: Will not spawn fire, making the item useless as Lilith.
Lachryphagy: Feeding tears will quickly douse the flames.
The Ludovico Technique: Fires created from Ghost Pepper will destroy the tear and cause it to respawn on Isaac.
A Lump of Coal: Affects normal tears but no effect on fire.
Pop!: Eyeballs tears quickly douse flames.
Proptosis: Flames will not lose damage or shrink as they travel.
Soy Milk: No effect on frequency or damage of flames.
Sprinkler: The sprinkler will not spawn flames.

In real life, "ghost pepper" is an alternate name for the bhut jolokia, which is arguably one of the world's hottest peppers.
