Every other night, the Reaper may banish one ghost, stealing their powers in the process. They may also learn the original role of one ghost.

The Reaper cannot banish on consecutive nights. If the Reaper chooses not to banish, they will once again have the option to banish in the following night. Learning the role of one ghost is also non-consecutive, but may or may not be done in the same night as the banishing. When the Reaper banishes a player (even if the banishment fails due to a defense), they gain the player's role as an extra role. If the gained role had abilities with limited uses, the Reaper regains all uses once obtained. Banishing is an end-night ability. The Reaper cannot make use of role changing or group joining abilities. Learning the role is an immediate ability and is immune to disguises and redirections. The Reaper is a member of the nightmare team and purgatory channel. The nightmare team wins when all other players are dead or endangered wolves. When the Reaper dies, they do not become a ghost: they are immediately banished.
