Phantom, cradling it to his chest: This is a Ghost Core. A Ghost's Core is basically everything, the brain, heart, lungs, all the important bits, I guess you could say its the truest form a ghost can take, our 'bodies' are more physical projections to protect the core.
Flash: Oh so like Steven Universe?
Phantom, gives an annoyed sigh: You know what? Yeah, sure.
Flash: Knew it!
Phantom: Ghosts only revert into their cores when they're too weak to keep up their bodies, and need to heal by absorbing and generating ectoplasm, but this...this Ghost has been in their core a long time.
Batman, carefully: Do you know why?
Phantom, snarling: Because those ââââââ°ââ stripped away any ectoplasm they managed to build! They used them as a powersource, everytime they gathered ecto, those cultists would steal it! So they can't reform, and-and now they're struggling to generate any ecto at all. *cups the core gently*
Batman: Check the cultists thoroughly, I want to make sure they're not abusing any more cores. If you find more, carefully bring them to Phantom, this is his jurisdiction.
Superman: Can they be healed?
Phantom: Yes, but they need to stay in an ectoplasm rich environment until natural ectoplasm can get them generating their own again. I need to take them to the Realms.
Superman: We'll find any more if they have them, don't worry.
Phantom: Thanks. Sorry for getting angry.
Superman, patting Phantom's shoulder: Don't worry, I get it
What Danny said:
*Those pathetic, degenerate, horrendous CREATURES! I'll tear them limb from limb before severing their souls from their bodies and giving them to the hellhounds as toys!
You know how lions and tigers will pretend to be startled by their cubs pouncing on them as a way to encourage their developing hunting skills?
I want that but with Danny and Dani.
Like, Ghosts feed a little bit off fear, or are at least given a boost from it. Learning to startle and spook people was something Danny had to learn all on his own, so when Dani started hanging around more Danny started purposefully acting surprised and startled when she tried to scare him, as a way to train and help her with this small bit of their biology. And Dani doesnt realise it until years and years later that it was just Danny humoring her.
Danny, rubbing his neck: Babysit? I-I don't know, I'm not very good with kids?
Dick: Please?
Kori: It is only for a couple of hours, promise.
Danny: Well, I guess, but you can't get mad when she tells you how much I sucked at babysitting!
*two hours later*
Dick: We're home!
Mar'i: *giggling loudly* Again! Again!
Danny: Alright, Alright! Bossy. *shifts a pair of pointy dog ears onto his head and moves them around before making them vanish*
Mar'i: *giggles again, before finally noticing her parents* Mommy, Daddy, you're home!
Kori: Did you have fun with Danny?
Mar'i: Yes! He knows lots and lots and lots about the stars, even more than you mommy, and he changes his ears! Uncle Danny show them!
Dick, smirking: Uncle~
Danny, embarrassed: I didn't do anything that cool.
Mar'i: And we made Chick-ego Pizza and Dirt Cake. *whispers* Don't worry Daddy, the wormys are fake.
Dick, nodding seriously: Thank you, I was very worried.
Kori: So you had fun with Danny?
Mar'i: Yes! I wish he was here all of the time like Mommy and Daddy!
Danny: *blushing heavily*
Bonus
Kori: What else did you do?
Mar'i: He also took me to play with-with um man-chores!
Danny: Manticores.
Mar'i: Oh yeah, man-ta-cores!
Kari: Sounds fun!
Dick, whispering furiously: You took her to meet scorpion lions? Next time, at least take her to see Unicorns or something!
Danny, deadpan: You rather I take her to see carnivore equines known for violent outbursts towards outsiders, who use the sharp horns on their head to hunt and violently skewer their prey? Opposed to Manticores who have been domesticated for eons and whos poison sacs can be, and often are, humanely removed from pets to limit injury to themselves, other animals, and their owners? Sure, okay.
Dick, pale: N-Nevermind, just keep doing what you're doing.
Becoming a halfa rendered Danny sterile. When he first found out about this, Danny didn't really care much. I mean, he was a teenager/young adult, so he wasn't exactly thinking about kids. But now, as he's older, he's a bit sad. He knows he has other options, adopting kids, or marrying someone with with kids, he could still be a dad, but a small part of him can't help but still feel sad, can't help but still want a biological kid.
And then he was presented with an opportunity. After crashing a new pop up cloning lab with the rest of the Justice League, Phantom stumbles upon the only stable pod. Inside, is a little baby with sparkling white hair, and a small, stable, baby ghost core. The moment Phantom holds them, hes smitten, chirping and cooing over the delicate little bundle in his arms, all but melted when they reached out to grasp his fingers.
The only problem was, this clone had the DNA of another hero, another hero also had claim to this baby, but Phantom wasn't sure he'd be willing to give the baby up.
Basically: Sterile Phantom wants kids but knows it can't really happen. He works with the Justice League and one day finds a clone made using his and [hero of your choosing]'s DNA, and Phantom fears how the other "parent" will react.
Person Specific Options!
You can choose whoever yoy want but I had some bonus ideas!
Wonder Woman: The baby is a girl and Wonder Woman thinks she should be raised on Themyscira, but Phantom is obviously very against that because he wants to raise her and now there is a full on custody battle happening in the Justice League and heros are picking sides.
Superman: Phantom has heard how Superman treated his other clone and is now being hyper protective over the baby, even though Superman gave Phantom full custody as long as Ma and Pa got visitation to their "grandchild".
Batman: Batman has never gotten to raise any of his kids as babies, so he's excited about this one, and he doesn't want to rip the baby away from Phantom because he knows how important to him this is(hes read Phantom's medical file), so after much back and forth with himself, Batman invited Phantom to raise the baby together in Batman's home. Batman and Phantom would coparent as civilians and smother this baby with so much love.
Green Lanturn(Hal): Hal freaked out at the prospect of having a kid and splits/avoids Phantom for the baby's first few years. Phantom is not impressed when he finally talks to Phantom again and the first thing he does is make a "I came back with milk!" Joke as he hands Phantom a milk box. Phantom smacks him and then introduces him to his kid.
Aquaman(if Ghost King Danny): Aquaman wants to take the baby to Atlantis because the baby is Aquadic Royalty, but Phantom being a King also makes the baby Ghost Royalty(even if the Ghost Monarchy isn't passed through blood), so now we have a Royal Custody Battle.
Martian Manhunter: Martian Manhunter is interested in the growth of the child, but he is okay letting Phantom act as the "main" parent as long as he does get to be in their life to some extent. Phantom is more than happy to welcome Martian Manhunter into his and the baby's life as much as he wants.
Black Canary: Doesn't know how to feel about the baby, and is happy to leave them with Phantom until she figures herself out. Phantom let's her have her space and never forces baby on her, but he's also making it clear Black Canary is welcome around any time.
Captain Marvel: As a child himself, hes freaked out. Phantom finds out hes still a child and boom, Phantom now has two children. Also Marvel's immediately put in therapy.(note, the Clone has Captain Marvel's DNA not Billy's, so any DNA test will Read Danny/Phantom x Marvel NOT Danny/Phantom x Billy)
Supergirl: Supergirl is so excited to have a baby and is looking forward to sharing her culture with her kid, but shes also sees how excited and smitten Phantom is, so she's happy with having split custody with Phantom.
Constantine: Constantine immediately tries to split until Clockwork tells him "I think TF not" and now Constantine has shared custody of a ghost baby with a ghost. A ghost who also worries over Constantine's health. Yay.
What if the other parent is someone who's dead â or dead at the time cause, y'know, comics?
Danny would obviously get primary custody in that case; being the only living genetic donor; but he'd probably also share with/get roped into the family of the other hero so they have plenty of visitation time with this little echo of their loved one.
Then, if it's during one of those 'not really dead' plotlines; you could have a bit of drama when the other hero comes back some months/years later.
Becoming a halfa rendered Danny sterile. When he first found out about this, Danny didn't really care much. I mean, he was a teenager/young adult, so he wasn't exactly thinking about kids.

Damian: Ugh. Good afternoon, man who warms my father's bed.
Bruce: Damian!
Danny: Hi Damian.
Damian: Will you be wasting your time here once again?
Danny: Oh no, I actually came to warn Bruce I might not be around as much for a few weeks.
Damian: Oh? And who must I thank for this joyous event?
Danny: Well, last night a stray dog got into my shed and gave birth to 13 puppies. I moved them all into the spare bathroom and I'm going to be looking after them until they're ready to go to new homes.
Damian: Puppies?
Danny: Yeah! The vet said mama was probably a Bloodhound mixed with some sorta Mastiff, and who knows about the puppies. Would you like to see some pictures?
Damian: *nods and excitedly sits down between Danny and Bruce, looking at all the puppy photos* You-You will have your hands full when they're bigger.
Danny: Don't I know it. Hey, you wouldn't be interested in helping would you?
Damian: Really? *trying so hard not to look excited*
Danny: Really! I mean, right now Mama is doing most of the work, but eventually the pups are gonna need socialized, and desensitized, not to mention I'm gonna need a puppy sitter so I can work with Mama without having to worry. But, I know you're a busy kid, so don't feel pressured, okay?
Damian: Well, school will be out in two weeks, I won't be too busy so, so I want to help, with the puppies. Please.
Danny: Great! It'll be so great to have help, thanks kiddo! I've been looking forward to hanging out with you anyway. *softly ruffles Damian's hair*
Damian: You have?
Danny: Yeah! I get along with your siblings but I wasn't sure if we had anything in common, but I'm glad we can geek out over dogs together!
Damian, thoughtfully: Oh.
Bonus!
*6 weeks later*
Daminan: Father! Is Daniel here yet?
Bruce: Not yet chum, the traffic is really bad.
Damian: Tsk. *walks back up the stairs pouting*
Bruce: *chuckles*
Alfred: I must say Master Bruce, you look like cat who got the cream.
Bruce: Damian adores Danny now, not just about the puppies. Its like the moment that inital connection was made, a whole door opens. Have you seen how they interact? How open Damian has become with Danny? Those breathing exercises he now does, are because Danny recommended them. If I didn't know any better, I'd say Damian loved Danny more as a father than me.
Alfred: You seem rather happy with that.
Bruce: Maybe I should be jealous, but mostly I'm just glad he has someone to connect to. And Danny adores that kid, all my kids, and you. He respects you a lot. I'm just happy he loves my family as much as I do.
Alfred: You deserve that happiness Master Bruce, more than anything. *squeezes his shoulder* You also deserve the begging you're going to get once those puppies are 12 weeks old and ready to be adopted. Damian already has a favorite, her name is Tullia.
Bruce, chuckling: Oh I am well aware, Danny has been dropping hints about her being a nice birthday gift.
Clockwork has been working with Dan to rehabilitate him. He's doing pretty well, but there are some set backs here an there like with all healing. One day Clockwork hastily makes him go to FentonWorks. When Dan gets there, he watches first hand as his Mom and Dad cut into him, well younger him from a different timeline, but him all the same.
These are the people he gave up his humanity for. Who he slaughtered the earth for. Who he abandoned the stars for.
But Dan can't dwell on that. Kicking into gear he attacks his parents, grabs Danny and rushes him to the Far Frozen. Normally, Dan would stay far away from the icy lands(less for his Fire Core, and more because the Yeti actively still hated him and usually chased him away). But this was an emergency, and Frostbite allowed him to stay.
As Dan watches Frostbite stitch the heavy damage, rough and unrefined from the Fenton's clumsy hands, he looks at Danny's face. It twitches in pain, but he makes light jokes, trying to assure them. It doesn't.
Dan finally says; "You aren't surprised they did this."
And Danny doesn't say anything, not right away, before slowly, carefully meeting his eyes. "No, I'm not. Not really. And you aren't surprised either."
And Dan pauses, because Danny's right. There was always a reason that Dan(ny) never told them, and this, this was the reason.
After Danny is given the go ahead to move, he will be in pain for a while and, since hes a halfa, Danny will take a while to fully heal, and he should try to switch between forms every two hours(two as danny, two as phantom) to make sure both sides heal correctly, Clockwork appears. He decides to send Danny somewhere safe, to heal, and when Dan hisses that Danny isn't capable of taking care of himself that injured, Clockwork agrees and says that Dan could accompany him. Dan is very much against it, hes not rehabilitated yet, he can barely stand Danny!
But Clockwork ignores him, and sends them to the city he had already arranged. A grungy, crime riddled city that would pay no mind to red eyes, or frosty hands, or two teenagers appearing out of nowhere; Gotham.
----------
-Danny is 14, Dan is 18
-Danny feels weird calling Dan, Dan since its technically his name, so he calls a variety of nicknames; Scorch, Smokey, and Hulk are used the most often
-Similarly, Dan feels weird calling Danny, Danny cause that was, quite literally, his name, so he calls him a few nicknames, with Squirt, Twerp, and Kid being his go-tos
-Dan's eyes are permanently red but in low light they pass as a really red colored shade of brown
-After the incident with his parents Danny has Sectoral Heterocromia in both eyes, the blue looks like its being slowly chipped by the green
-Dan making sure hes awake at night so he can have Danny switch forms on time
-Danny repeatedly giving his food to Dan even though he's the injured one and Dan is more ghost than human, thus needs less food
-When Dan lost his humanity, his obsession was swapped from Space, to being Unbeatable/Taking over the World, and now with reformation, his core is forming a new obsession(what that new obsession is is anyone's guess but low key think his new obsession should be Family)
-Danny's obsession is still Space
-Fire Core Dan
-Ice Core Danny
-Danny is often approached by Mr. Freeze to work for him, Dan has to keep chasing him away because Danny is too young/injured to work.(Danny has almost said "yes" every time so that they can have some income, but Dan always rushes in before he can agree)
-Because of his Fire Core, Dan gets cold easier so Danny is often trying to give him his coat/jacket/blanket because the cold doesn't bother him
-Because of his Ice Core, Danny gets overheated relitively easy, and Dan has gotten used to having to use a hand fan to try and keep some of the heat away
-They get along with Ivy just fine personality wise, but because Fire/Ice can kill Plants Ivy has a "no powers" rule when the meet/visit.
-Danny is obsessed with Harley's Hyenas so they visit semi-regularly. That's actually how Dan and Danny met Harley and Ivy, Danny saw them walking Bud and Lou and shyly asked if he could pet them.

[Catching Bat Attention]
Jason: You look like sh*t.
Tim: Oh that looks bad, what rogue did that to you?
Dick, face swollen: A street kid.
Jason: HA Really? That's awesome.
Steph, whistles: What did you say to them that got you punched?
Dick: Nothing! I was talking to, I think, their little brother. He was all sickly looking and I was trying to give him the details for Leslie! Then the older kid runs over, punches me, throws the smaller kid over his shoulder, and bolts!
Jason: Wait, two boys with black hair, the older is kinda bulky and somewhere between 17 and 19, and the younger one is small and maybe 12 to 14?
Dick: You know them?
Jason: Appeared out of nowhere a few months ago. I've been thinking about approaching the older one to offer him a job so he can feed himself and the other kid, but every time me or one of my guys try to tail them, they vanish. Its literally like they turn to smoke.
Tim: Weird.
Jason: Yeah, but not uncommon in runaways. They both seem really paranoid, especially the younger one, and I think hes nursing a heavy wound.
Bruce: We'll keep an eye out for them. Don't approach, we don't want to scare them, but see if you can find anything out.
*While the bats are involved, I was thinking they take a back seat to Danny and Dan's relationship. Like the bats or jl are just shadow benefactors, helping by maybe giving Dan a job, or protecting them from rogues/goons/the GIW, but they're not overly involved as I want to focus almost soley on Dan and Danny, and their budding friendship/siblinghood.
*Would be interested in adding Dani to the mix LATER but I mostly want Dan-Danny interactions for the time being, maybe once they have a somewhat stable environment/relationship, Dani finds out what happened after returning to Amity, seeks them out, and then sticks around? But thats like season two/the ova stuff
I'm not a writer, but i had this idea for a little story, and have never seen anyone do something close to it. similar ideas, but not this. what if danny just leaves earth?
It's been a long few years for Danny. As the prince-ling of the infinite realms, he has proven his worth time and time again and build up a kind of tense friendship with his rogues. sadly, his parents do not count to that. he hoped that as time went on that they would lessen their hate for ghosts, but that did not happen. more like the opposite and now they got a lucky shot in. as he now lays on the surgeon table, listening to his excited parents an excited Jack and Maddie he thought to himself "i just wanted to see the stars. but clockwork, and even frostbite, said that as a true halfa, i need the mortal realm as much as the infinite realms... what i wouldn't give to see some other planets" as he thought that, it occurred to him, that they did not specify earth, just the mortal realm. luckily, before Maddie and Jack could do anything, they were distracted by another ping on their ghost radar and went away in a hurry. after a bit jazz came down and rolled Danny into the portal, to hopefully rest a bit. Danny now made a plan, he needs to go to each of his rogues gallery and asks them to please not go to earth anymore, as he will no longer be there to rescue them from the hunters, but the rest of the mortal realm is fair game. they are, of course shocked, because a young ghost-ling like Danny just being forced to abandon his haunt, and even then protecting the others is unheard of. so they listen to his request. not just them, but even the realms itself do. because it was the first thing Danny did as a king, looking out for his subjects. after Danny went back to earth, he took the portal with him. he needs a way to the realms and it was his sacrifice that opened the portal. he destroys the lab goes to each of his friends telling them that he will leave, satiate his space obsession and to explore other planets. he has a few picked out, tamaran, odym, nok, maybe even oa. he'll see where his core leads him. his friends and his sister give him a tearful goodbye and when he turns to leave, Maddie and Jack are there, to shout obscenities at him. and Danny leaves, he has better things to do, and that is exploring in space. maybe cujo can join him every once in a while and bring Ellie with? but that is something for the future.
After Danny leaves, the magical community of earth starts to panic. because slowly, the infinite realms start to recede. the lazarus pits turn into just a green lake, contacts from hell stop working and the dead start to disappear into the realms. even people like Jason Todd disappear. when its deadmans turn, he bids farewell to zatana. he tells her "well legs, your people have done it. for the first time in millennia the realms had a good leader and you manage to run him off. lucky for you, he is a real sweet kid and decided to leave, instead of destroying you. the realms blacklisted our earth. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but if you want any chance of repairing this, the old kings summoning can summon the prince-lings guardians. i had fun with you all, but i need to leave. we can survive without you, but you not without us"
zatana calls a emergency meeting, with every JLD member and the normal JL. when she arrives at the watchtower, its in complete disarray. even batman and his brood looks completely devastated, at least those that weren't in the realms.
or, danny is tired, tells his rogues gallery to stay either in the realms or anywhere except earth, sentient infinite realms recall everything ectoplasm including certain liminal people depending on their liminality and danny wanting to travel through space
Oh this is so cool!!!! Dude the Bats had many people close to the pits and Jason gone again? Oh Batman must be loosing it.
Now, if all the realms left, does that mean that the ecto in Fentonworks is no longer useful? All their ecto-fueled stuff is not working anymore!
My bets are on the Titans finding the first clues of Danny's location thanks to Starfire while visiting Tamaran or maybe one of his siblings calls her.
Wandering space boi Danny! Oh this reminds me of the game Outer Wilds and the main song, it's such a peaceful game.
Jon, eating a hotdog: Yeah, you'll be over it in a week.
Damian: Chew with your mouth closed.
Raven: Ew.
Jon: Yeah yeah- Woah! Krypto no!
Krypto: *jerks out of Jon's hand to chase a squirrel*
Jon: Krypto come! Come! Ugh that trainer was a total scam!
Krypto: *about to fly to get the squirrel, only to stop when someone called to him in Kryptonian*
Danny: <(Here pup! Come here! Good boy!)>
Krypto: *wags and runs over to Danny*
Danny: <(Good! No jump, down. Yes! Here.)> *Krypto sits so Danny gives him a treat and Danny grabs the leash*
Jon, running up: Thank you so much! I didn't expect him to bolt like that.
Danny, hands him the leash: Work on his recall if you're gonna hold his leash so loosely. This time its a squirrel, but next time it might be a car. Also, try speaking the language he's most comfortable with, it helps a lot.
Jon: How do you-
Damian, gulping: Uh Fenton. *clears throat* Hi.
Danny: Oh, Damian, didn't expect to run into you here. Excuse me a second. Robin! *Damian, Jon, and Raven flinch* ââââ ââ ââ ââââââââ! Sorry, I have an appointment soon.
Raven: So, what language was that?
Danny, shrugging: Don't ask questions you already know the answer to. Makes us all look stupid.
Raven: *huffs out a breath of amusement*
Robin: *a large mixed breed dog that looks kind of like a wolf trots over, eyeing each person critically before reaching out and licking each person's hand*
Danny, lightly: Huh, you lot must be heros, Robin is usually pretty standoffish with most people. *pats her side and clips a leash to her harness*
Jon, laughing too loud: Good-Good one! Ah-ha.
Danny: *raises his eyebrow, confused*
Damian: So what are you here for Fenton?
Danny: *smirks slightly as he raises his hand, showing the leash and pointing to the park* Robin needed to stretch her legs.
Damian: Oh, right I-I see, I don't believe I've met Robin before.
Danny: Yeah, I don't bring her to class but she goes to astronomy club with me.
Raven: What breed is she?
Danny: Again with the questions you already know. *looks at his watch* I gotta go or I'll be late, see ya around Damian. *glances at Jon* Keep a firm grip on that leash man. *leaves with a lazy wave*
Damian: Yes, of course, goodbye.
Raven: *looking at Damian* That was pathetic.
Damian, drooping: I am aware.
Jon: I'm still confused, how did he know Kryptonian?
Damian, looks at Raven: You and him seemed to get along well.
Raven: Let's just say, he probably knows my father.
Danny had so many regrets. He took this little teaching opportunity because he had nothing to do on Sundays, and the guy seemed, sad, desprate, pathetic, and what he offered to pay meant Danny would be one step closer to being able to start classes. But when the guy said he was bad a cooking, Danny didn't expect this bad! How does one burn eggs with a pan on low heat?! Was he Cursed? Just messing with Danny? Another one of Clockwork's "tests"? This should not be possible!
Funny Add On(s)
-It was really hard to convince Danny to teach Dick, because Danny refused to go to a second location with him, so Dick ended up renting a kitchen for the first few lessons until he gained Danny's trust
-As soon as Dick can finally not burn eggs he shows off to Alfred who demanded to meet whoever taught Dick. Dick brings Alfred to one of the lessons and as soon as he introduces them, Alfred pets Danny's head, hugs him, and praises him for how brave, capable, and strong he is for taking on this harrowing endeavor. Dick squawks in offense in the background.
-Danny left the room for exactly 3 minutes. When he comes back in, there is flour everywhere. They were making fried rice. The flour shouldn't even be out!
-Danny is convinced Dick is actually just cursed, so now Danny is also running a secret side mission of trying to break that curse. But honestly Danny sucks at curse breaking, and no Dick isn't actually cursed, so its taking a while.
Notes:
-Danny is working and saving for collage because, quote, "Screw Vlad, screw his money, and screw his trust fund." So he's not in school but saving up for it.
-Danny learned everything he knows about cooking from Ghosts. A lot of ghosts love sharing their family recipes(and sometimes Danny will let them overshadow him so they can taste their family recipe(s) again). Cooking started as a necessity, but became a fun hobby after a while.
Batman, eye twitching: Please tell me that what I'm looking at isn't as indecent as it appears.
Green Lanturn, Flash, and Green Arrow: *trying(and failing) not to laugh*
Wonder Woman: *unamused*
Aquaman: *raises eyebrow, amused*
Superman and Phantom: *Superman is sitting on the couch, Phantom in his lap, arms wrapped around Superman's shoulders, Phantom is purring loudly and nuzzling against Superman's throat, neck, and cheeks, his eyes are hazy, while Superman holds him down so he doesn't fall*
Superman, blushing heavily: Someone sprayed me with this weird "ghost repellant" spray when I was a civilian and as soon as Phantom caught a wiff of it, well...
Flash, snickering: Ghost repellant? More like ghost-nip.
Phantom: *completely dazed and out of it, but content as he breathes in the weird spray clinging to Superman's body*
You should all know that I have Two(2) Headcanons for Cujo that I use interchangeably depending on what I need him for.
One:
Cujo is the Ghost of a once living dog. He lived a long time ago, back when dogs that didn't take to training were put down rather than being put to a different task. Cujo(though he had a different name at the time) was bred and bought to be trained into being a Gaurd Dog/Attack Dog, but he just had too sweet a personality that he didn't understand the attacking part. Because Cujo wouldn't do what he was trained for, he was thus put down, as were the times.
When Danny gave Cujo his name, and was more than happy with Cujo's love-bug, mischievous personality, Cujo becme very attached to him, and especially that name, and though Cujo doesn't stay with Danny 24/7, he does consider Danny his boy.
Tiny, baby puppy Cujo is the true Cujo, who he is down to his core, Massive, angry, agressive Cujo is who Cujo's original masters wanted him to be.
Cujo's "first language" isn't English which is why its hard to train him with it, Danny has an easier time using Ghost Speak or Dead Languages in order to properly train him since he doesn't know Cujo's "first language".

Cujo was never a living dog, rather hes a spiritual dog "breed" known as a CĂč-sĂŹth.
Hailing from Irish and Scottish Folklore the CĂč-sĂŹth is a green Mythical Fairy Hound. CĂč-sĂŹth are known to take both the souls of the living, as well as the souls of the dead, and are used by Fae Folk as watchdogs or pets.
Being a Mythical Fairy Hound, Cujo responds better to Fae Languages rather than any human language.
