Malcolm is a farmer who tends to his undead chickens and cows. His wife runs the farm store next door and is still among the living. According to him, the Ectofuntus turned him into a ghost, and his livestock into undead creatures, some years ago.

His daughter, Lyra, can watch over your crops in the farming patch nearby.

During the Animal Magnetism quest, players must acquire two bagged undead chickens from him. This can be done after helping his wife communicate with him. After the quest, more undead chickens may be purchased from him for 10 ecto-tokens.

Malcolm gets upset when players kill his cows and chickens—even though they're already dead. The last straw is when Cow31337Killer appears. After that, he decides to start using the proceeds from selling undead chickens to one day purchase some "killer cows."

• When using most items on Malcolm he will respond with "Wot use is that there stuff to a ghosty like myself?", however if you use an undead chicken on him, he will instead say "I sells but I dunt be a-buyin'."
• Malcolm, unlike other ghost NPCs, has a different walk animation. He floats in the air while moving, instead of "walking" like other ghost characters.
• The name "Malcolm" could be a reference to the U.S. sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle", whereas the NPC is in the middle of both life and death; a ghost.
