If we're talking a midround ghost roll thing: Disregard what's written below that sounds fun as a rare thing that can't be counted on to happen.
If we're talking a chooseable ghost-critter-like option of any kind:
It's funny, but my immediate thought is that character last year who plagued rounds as an monosyllabic monkey going "need muta" and just generally being a nightmare, not fun.
Do I think -you- would be a really fun monkey ghost NPC? Absolutely! I have trust issues giving any ghost critter more than the base level of interactivity we already have, and I say this as a huge ghost drone fan who also feels like I end up AHELPing a not-insignificant number of ghostdrones for too much interactivity with the crew either to help them or hinder them.
The basic premise is good though, I just think like Kotlol says it would have to be in a very reduced format. Maybe very partial control, like an ouija board? Ghost twitch ineffectually attempts to play a monkey brain that has a limited command pool and slow response time, anything that means to get anything done you're having to really *work* for it and anything mildly annoying to a real player is quickly preventable.
