** The Reactive Armor turns you into one: any attack that would kill you (with some exceptions noted in ArmorIsUseless, below) causes the armor to explode and take out anything around you. There are some situations in which this won't work: Meltie acid will kill you through the armor, Grinders are functionally immune (it will crack their shell, but you still die), and the Void Eater's disintegration ray bypasses it.

** Grinders could be considered one as well. Made out of living rock, these guys need to be subjected to an explosion, a collision with a solid object (another Grinder, a Gray, or an Instant Wall; Sharps don't count), or a puddle of acid to weaken the outer coating, and then you have to hit the damn thing five times before it gives up and dies. It's also the largest Gloople short of the final boss. [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive can break the shell in one hit, and kill it with two more.]]

* FoodChainOfEvil: The Amalgam eats other Glooples. Of course, the Amalgam can eat you too.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive; it does triple the damage, has superior reach, and can do several things that the Splatmaster3000 can't (such as batting away Horrors and weakening Grinders). However, it's quite heavy, so wielding it slows you down a bit.]]

* MightyGlacier: Grinders, which are large and not ''that'' fast, but take 5 hits to die, have an armor that needs to be destroyed first before you can even hit them ([[spoiler:unless you have the Razor Glaive]]), and can even survive [[DisintegratorRay Disintegration Rays]].

** Sticky, which makes you and Glooples slow (but fireproof ad freezeproof) until it wears off. Biters and Fuzzles affected by this cannot attack.

** Stepped on Ink, which makes you and Glooples move forwards in a direction until it wears off.

** Grinders are even tougher. Not only are they immune to the sword, trying it won't change their course and stuns you briefly, potentially letting them run you over. They have to be soften/cracked via Meltie Acid, grenades, a Torchie explosion, another Grinder crashing into it, tossing an Instant Wall in its path, having it collide with a hardened Gray, or luring them into a Void Eater's shockwave/disintegration range in order to harm them. (Amusingly, the Grinder is perfectly capable of flattening a Void Eater even after being nailed with its shockwave or kill-beam, though it will just bounce off of a Gray.) [[spoiler:Even the Razor Glaive, though it can crack their shell, isn't strong enough to prevent you from being stunned.

* MightyGlacier: Grinders, which are large and not ''that'' fast, but take 5 hits to die, have an armor that needs to be destroyed first before you can even hit them (unless you have the Razor Glaive), and can even survive {{disintegration rays}}.

* FoodChainOfEvil: The Amalgam eats other Glooples that eat you (Biters, Fuzzles).

** The Reactive Armor turns you into one: any attack that would kill you (with some exceptions noted in ArmorIsUseless, below) causes the armor to explode and take out anything around you. There are some situations in which this won't work: Meltie acid will kill you through the armor, Grinders are immune, and the Void Eater's disintegration ray bypasses it.
*** The Reactive Armor's explosion can crack a Grinder's shell. Not that this helps you, of course.

* AntiFrustrationFeature: There are a few small ones that prevent the game from being annoying, as opposed to just hard. Normal glooples will not be able to stun you again until after you finish the flinching animation of the first hit, meaning that unless you get hit at an inconvenient time, which is itself just part of the difficulty, you won't get stunlocked to death. Also, after the swing, there is half a second where the arc in front of you still counts as damage, which means near-misses with the swing will still hit it if runs into the arc.

** [[EldritchAbomination Void Eaters]]. Created in the rare occurrence when a Gray absorbs a gloople. Although they are only a OneHitPointWonder, they have three nasty ways of killing your character:

*** The second attack is when it turns into a black hole and draws you in. If something (including other blobs) get too near, it uses attack 1, which thankfully cancels this attack. Due to a quirk of how this attack works, it is literally impossible to survive without reactive armor if there are no other glooples to be sucked in.

*** Of special note is the fact that the Void Eater's megadestructive nature renders it capable of ''killing everything in the nest'' -- up to and including the TrueFinalBoss, should you ever be unlucky enough to face both it and the Void Eater at the same time.
** Amalgams... just Amalgams. They can eat other glooples, can [[AsteroidsMonster split into more Amalgalms if they're hit or get too large]], and take a lot more hits than one would expect. They also remain in the battle even if chased offscreen, unlike other glooples.
** Grinders could be considered one as well. Made out of living rock, these guys need to be subjected to an explosion, a collision with a solid object (another Grinder, a Gray, or an Instant Wall; Sharps don't count), or a puddle of acid to weaken the outer coating, and then you have to hit the damn thing five times before it gives up and dies. It's also the largest gloople short of the final boss. [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive can break the shell in one hit, and kill it with two more.]]

** Each type of gloople can interact with you AND other glooples in different ways. For example, Stickie Goo will slow you and most weaker glooples down, make you immune to burning, put out Torchie fires, and gum up the mouths of Biters and Fuzzles, preventing them from attacking.

* FragileSpeedster: Frosties are the fastest of the glooples, but explode the second they touch anything. Unfortunately, when that happens, it freezes everything around it.

** Void Eaters are a straighter example, as they are one of the most deadly glooples -- see BossInMookClothing, above. They do, however, die in one hit. Like queens, though, actually getting that hit in can be pretty difficult. (The window of opportunity is much larger, however.)

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: This is the Gray's main form of attack. However, it's [[TacticalSuicideBoss unable to harden its body while doing so]], allowing you a chance to damage it.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:The Razor Glaive; it does triple the damage, has superior reach, and can do several things that the Splatmaster3000 can't (such as batting away Horrors and weakening Grinders.) However, it's quite heavy, so wielding it slows you down a bit.]]
** As mentioned above, many enemies (like enemies that generally take more than one hit to kill) become laughably easy if you have the [[spoiler:Razor Glaive. Its reach is even larger than the Splatmaster 3000, which means you can probably kill enemies with dangerous close range attacks, such as [[BossInMookClothing Void Eaters]].]]
*** On the other hand, in order to get aforementioned InfinityPlusOneSword, [[spoiler:you have to beat the monstrous Razor Queen in single combat. The Razor Queen is a ludicrously huge, mutated Queen that's five times tougher and has an annoying habit of being vulnerable only in front -- which is also where its huge claws are.]]

* KillItWithFire: Torchies. Touching one sans armor will set you on fire, which causes your character to flail around somewhat randomly and will kill you if you don't put it out wit Stickie goo or a Freezie. Trying to kill it while it's on fire will cause it to explode, killing you instantly.

* KungFuProofMook: Sharps. As soon as these guys sense danger, they turn into an invulnerable ball of spikes. Once their perceived threat is gone, they switch back to their original form, where you can kill them in one hit.
** You can deflect Sharps while their spikes are out, and the game even recommends knocking them out of the screen in order to get rid of them; however, because of the way you swing your sword, you tend to knock it away in a curved path rather than a straight line, which makes getting it off the screen a rather challenging task. Oh, and it's entirely possible to [[YetAnotherStupidDeath "deflect" a Sharp right into your face]].
** Grinders cannot be initially harmed in any way due to their extremely hard rocky exterior, until you soften/crack them via Meltie Acid, grenades, a Torchie explosion, another Grinder crashing into it, tossing an Instant Wall in its path, having it collide with a hardened Gray, or luring them into a Void Eater's shockwave/disintegration range. (Amusingly, the Grinder is perfectly capable of flattening a Void Eater even after being nailed with its shockwave or kill-beam, though it will just bounce off of a Gray.)
*** Easier if you have the [[spoiler:[[InfinityPlusOneSword Razor Glaive]], since the first hit cracks it and it only takes three hits after that]]. The recoil from the first hit might give other enemies a chance to kill you, though (if the Grinder doesn't just roll right over you, that is.)
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The Queen is the ''only'' gloople that's red in color '''and''' has gold claws. [[BossFight Uh oh]]...

* LudicrousGibs: What happens to you if you get exploded by a Torchie or your own grenades, touch a horror when it's spinning, or get into a Void Eater's InstantDeathRadius.

** Justified, since the glooples were named by humans, who based their names on their abilities.

* MonsterCompendium: You fill it up by encountering different types of glooples.

** Horrors can also launch "teeth" in multiple directions that will mutate a green gloople into a Biter if it hits one.
** Queens will drop parasites that infect Glooples. If the infected gloople is on the screen when you manage to kill the queen, it transforms into ''another'' queen hell-bent on slicing you to bits.

* OneHitPointWonder: LOTS of lethal stuff in this game. Although getting "bumped" cannot kill you, pretty much anything else will. Getting lit on fire will not kill you instantly, but you will die if you don't put it out on time.
** Reactive armour will allow you to become a ''two'' hit point wonder. Meltie Acid, Grinders, and Void Eater rays will still instantly kill you, though.
*** The reactive armour also (somewhat) protects you from certain attacks without being destroyed in the process, such as Gray's spike and [[spoiler:Razor Queen's spikes it shoots at you (But not those spikey balls).]]
* PersonalSpaceInvader: The clutters, if you don't have armor. They slow you down unless you shake them off.
* RuleOfThree: Some of the tougher glooples take three hits to die instead of one, such as Oozles, Fuzzles, and Grays.
* ScoringPoints: For each Gloople you splat, you earn "bounty"; this bounty is multiplied if you splat several glooples in one swing.
* SetAMookToKillAMook: Sorta... Grinders and Sharps will chase after the player while destroying most weaker glooples in sight, so you can use them to your advantage to clear the way of GoddamnedBats like Biters.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Some of the descriptions in the bestiary, which provide sophisticated biological commentary about the glooples, but also tend to contain less sophisticated-sounding warnings about how they can kill you.
* SpikeShooter: The Horror can launch its teeth in eight directions, while the [[spoiler: Razor Queen]] can fire out spikeballs that explode into a burst of spikes.
** [[spoiler:The Razor Queen is all about this. In addition to those spike balls she can fire single spikes to impale you, spike clusters that stick in the ground to reduce your range of maneuver (running into one results in a nasty death by impalement), and underground spike-creatures that chase you and try to slice you in halves.]]

** Grays will try to impale the player with a [[CombatTentacles spear-like tendril]], when doing so it will not be able to harden and will be vulnerable to the player's attack.

* TrainingFromHell: In training mode you can decide what glooples to fight choosing from any species you've faced before. Meaning you can go up against a Queen, a [[EldritchAbomination Void Eater]], a [[BossInMookClothing Horror]], an Amalgam and more all at once.

* WakeUpCallBoss: The first time a player runs into a grinder, he's probably going to realize that some Glooples may need more inventive means to kill that just slashing it with your sword.

* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: One of the unlockable Rewards is Sprint. Thankfully, it is the first Reward you're probably going to unlock, thanks to it being on the far left of the Rewards screen.

* KillItWithFire: Torchies. Attempt to kill it while it's on fire and it explodes, killing you instantly.

** Each type of gloople can interact with you AND other glooples in different ways. For example, Stickie Goo will slow you and most weaker glooples down, make you immune to burning, put out Torchie fires, and gum up the mouths of [[GoddamnedBats Biters]] and [[DemonicSpiders Fuzzles]], preventing them from attacking.

* ActionBomb: Torchies normally simply set anything they touch on fire, but if anything would destroy them they explode. Freezies explode upon any contact, freezing everything around.
** Stickies, Melties and Inkies. Though they don't exactly explode, their entire purpose is to collide with you and release a harmful payload.
** [[spoiler:A Razor Queen's larvae are a "needle grenade" version. Unlike the others that require contact, they are triggered by proximity. They do take some time to detonate, so you can either run away or disarm them by killing them before they explode.]]

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Razor Queens have the abilities of several different enemies, including Biters, Queens, Sharps, Clutters, and Horrors, making them real {{True Final Boss}}es.]]

* ArmorIsUseless: Averted for the most part; the Reactive Armor at first appears to be, effectively, an extra life, but there are lethal attacks that it can deflect without exploding. The [[DemonicSpiders Gray's]] [[CombatTentacles tendril lance]], ordinarily quite lethal, will bounce off the armor without exploding. The [[TrueFinalBoss Razor Queen's]] spike attack likewise bounces right off. Also, running into a Torchie will only bump you instead of setting you on fire.
** The reactive armor can only withstand one shot of certain other attacks, such as the Biter's and the Fuzzle's lunge and other things. And there are some attacks that the armor offers no protection against, such as a Grinder rolling over you, Meltie acid or the [[BossInMookClothing Void Eater's]] disintegration ray.

** The Horror, ''THE HORROR!!!'' These guys are created in a (thankfully) rare occurrence when two [[GoddamnedBats Biters]] fuse together. They are invulnerable to your regular attack while spinning, and will kill you if you so long as to brush against them while they chase after you. They have three attacks:
*** Spinning into you, which instantly kills you (Unless you have reactive armor, then it just bounces off... destroying the reactive armor in the process.)

**** You can deflect the spinning disks by swing your sword at them. Unfortunately, it makes you stagger a bit, leaving you open to other attacks.
*** [[{{Dune}} Fear is the mind killer.]] And so are spinny, flying sharp things.

*** The second attack is when it turns into a black hole and draws you in. If something (including other blobs) get too near, it uses attack 1.

** Amalgams...just Amalgams. They can eat other glooples, can [[AsteroidsMonster split into more Amalgalms if they're hit or get too large]], and take a lot more hits than one would expect.
*** Although, technically, the Amalgam is a boss proper, considering that it only usually shows up near the end of a nest, like the Queen [[spoiler:and the Razor Queen]].
*** They also remain in the battle even if chased offscreen, unlike other glooples.
**** It can also show up a little over halfway through a large nest, so maybe it could be considered a mid-boss?
** Grinders could be considered one as well. Made out of living rock, these guys need to be subjected to an explosion, a collision with a ''very'' solid object, or a puddle of acid to weaken the outer coating, and then you have to hit the damn thing five times before it gives up and dies. Did I mention it's the largest non-Queen monster?
*** Note that the Grinder is one of the few Glooples that has no reason to fear the Horror, as in the event of a collision it squashes it flat -- on the other hand, it bounces right off the Gray's ludicrously armored skin (as the Gray is likely to defend itself when the Grinder approaches it), knocking off the outer coating in the process. This makes Grays good to have around if there are Grinders about.
**** A short list of things that can knock off a Grinder's outer coating: being caught in the explosion of a grenade or a Torchie (or an Inkie lit on fire by a Torchie); going through the acid puddle left behind by a splatted Meltie; colliding with another Grinder, a defending Gray, or an Instant Wall; or being caught in a shockwave or disintegration beam launched by a Void Eater. Weakening a Grinder isn't as simple as this list makes it sound, though, as everything that can do the job is either situational or in (very) limited supply. [[spoiler:With the exception of the Razor Glaive, of course.]]

* FragileSpeedster: Frosties are the fastest of the glooples, and they take one hit -- or contact with anything -- to die. Unfortunately, when that happens, it freezes everything around it.
** Stickies, Melties, and Inkies also all die when they collide with anything or take a single hit (though, of those three, only the Inkie is faster than the average Gloople.) All three of these leave behind a nasty substance when they die, which can be quite hazardous for you (and most of the other Glooples).

* GravityMaster: The Void Eater apparently has control of gravitational fields. Which it will use to blast you into bits, no less.

** [[spoiler:There is a step above the normal HiveQueen, too...]]

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Getting [[strike:swallowed]] engulfed by a bigger blob, ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice (and then absorbed), dissolved via Meltie acid, eaten by a Biter or Fuzzle, exploded, disintegrated by a Void Eater, shredded to pieces by a Horror, rolled over by a Grinder, shattered into pieces after getting frozen by a Frostie, etc. There are even awards for dying in multiple ways! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5WkkuASaRw Here's a video compilation of all of them.]]

* OneHitPointWonder: LOTS of lethal stuff in this game. Although getting "bumped" cannot kill you, pretty much anythingthing else will. Getting lit on fire will not kill you instantly, but you will die if you don't put it out on time.

** Actually, a lot of Glooples can kill other Glooples... Horrors will shred most other Glooples that get in their way, Void Eaters will blast just everything to pieces with their shockwaves (or erase them with their disintegration rays) Torchies tend to light all other Glooples on fire, Frosties freeze everything around them, Inkies that get set on fire by Torchies will ''explode'', Biters and Fuzzles will "pop" other Glooples in their path while lunging, and Oozles and Grays will flatten smaller Glooples that they collide with. This isn't even going into Meltie acid and Amalgams!

** [[spoiler:The Razor Queen is all about this. In addition to those spike balls she can fire single spikes to impale you, spike clusters that stick in the ground to reduce your range of manoever (running into one results in a nasty death by impalement), and underground spike-creatures that chase you and try to slice you in halves.]]

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Each type of gloople can interact with you AND other glooples in different ways. For example, Stickie Goo will slow you and most weaker glooples down, make you immune to burning, put out Torchie fires, and gum up the mouths of [[GoddamnedBats Biters]] and [[DemonicSpiders Fuzzles]], preventing them from attacking.
** Heaven help you if an [[StuffBlowingUp Inkie/Grinder/Sharp and lit Torchie collide]] near you when you're unarmoured...

* ActionBomb: Torchies and Freezies.

* SingleStrokeBattle: This is one of the few ways to kill the Queen. Problematic in that you are slow and have one sword, and she is very fast and has two swordlimbs. Thankfully, the Autoturret and the Grenade can and will make short work of her, as will her attacks breaking your reactive armor.

The game features a soundtrack by [[JonahDempcy Revolution Void]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Razor Queens have the abilities of several different enemies, including Biters, Queens, Sharps, Clutters, and ''Horrors'', making them real {{True Final Boss}}es.]]

* BlobMonster: Pretty much EVERY SINGLE ENEMY.

** Horrors. The Horror, '''THE HORROR!!!''' These guys are created in a (thankfully) rare occurrence when two [[GoddamnedBats Biters]] fuse together. They are invulnerable to your regular attack while spinning, and will kill you if you so long as to brush against them while they chase after you. They have three attacks:

*** Splitting up into four spiked wheels that orbit around its core; of course, the disks can instantly kill you, and the Horror ''will'' launch them directly at you (and probably at angles that make them ''very'' difficult to dodge). This is the ''only'' time when you can kill it; hit the core to put an end to it.

*** '''[[{{Dune}} Fear is the mind killer.]]''' And so are spinny, flying sharp things.
** [[EldritchAbomination Void Eaters]]. Created in the rare occurrence when a Gray absorbs a gloople. Although they are only a OneHitPointWonder, they have THREE. NASTY. WAYS. of killing your character:

*** Although, technically, the Amalgam is a boss proper, considering that it only usually shows up near the end of a nest, like the Queen and the [[spoiler:Razor Queen]].

** Grinders could be considered one as well. Made out of living rock, these guys need to be subjected to an explosion, a collision with a ''very'' solid object, or a puddle of acid to weaken the outer coating, and ''then'' you have to hit the damn thing ''five'' times before it gives up and dies. Did I mention it's the largest non-Queen monster?

* FragileSpeedster: Frosties are the fastest of the glooples, and they take one hit -- or contact with anything -- to die. Unfortunately, when that happens, it freezes everything around it!
** Stickies, Melties, and Inkies also all die when they collide with anything or take a single hit (though, of those three, only the Inkie is faster than the average Gloople.) All three of these leave behind a ''very'' nasty substance when they die, which can be quite hazardous for both you ''and'' (most of) the other Glooples.

*** You can only hit them when they are charging up for or executing their disintegration ray. Try to so much as ''approach'' them at ''any'' other time, and you ''will'' be [[LudicrousGibs blasted into little pieces]] by their shockwave attack.
** Horrors are kind of like this; they die in one hit, though you can only land that hit when they break into pieces to launch spiked disks at you. The problem is trying to rush up to the core and land that hit without one of said spiked disks removing your head from your body (or just plain bisecting you.) Also, they only use that attack when you're far away from them, so it's not like you can immediately be in the perfect position to capitalize on the opportunity (assuming that you could get out of the way of the spiked disks from point-blank range, of course.) At any other time, the Horror's spinning spikes will easily deflect your sword, and then the Horror will probably (as the game puts it) turn you into kibble before you can recover. Oh, and did I mention that Horrors are almost as fast as you are? Don't think you'll be able to put enough distance between yourself and it to provoke its spinning-disk attack without going to a ''lot'' of trouble to do so.
* TheGoomba: Green Glooples. The worst they can do is bump into you... which stuns you momentarily, leaving you open to the deadly (or at least super-inconvenient) assaults of other Glooples.

* InterfaceScrew: What happens when an Inkie hits you. The screen ''turns completely black'' for a short while, enough to get you killed easily by another dangerous blob.

* KillerRabbit: [[DemonicSpiders Fuzzles]], which are fuzzy, adorable little things that lunge at you and ''tear your heart out.'' Did we mention they take three hits to die, and have a HealingFactor to boot?

* LiterallyShatteredLives: If you get touched by anything after getting frozen by a Frostie explosion, you shatter into ice fragments (read: you die).

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Getting [[strike:swallowed]] engulfed by a bigger blob, ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice (and then absorbed), dissolved via Meltie acid, eaten by a Biter or Fuzzle, exploded, disintegrated by a Void Eater, shredded to pieces by a Horror, rolled over by a Grinder, [[LiterallyShatteredLives shattered into pieces]] after getting frozen by a Frostie, etc. There are even awards for dying in multiple ways! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5WkkuASaRw Here's a video showing you ALL of them.]]

** [[MookMaker Clutters]] spawn smaller copies of themselves (that grow to the adult size), cluttering up the screen. They can also spit said smaller copies of themselves onto you, which stick to you and slow you down (if you get hit with a lot of them, you can end up unable to move!!!!)

** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Horrors]] are, well, '''COMPLETE''' '''[[DemonicSpiders HORROR]]!!'''

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The '''''[[BossInMookClothing Horror]]''''', and the Void Eater.

* NintendoHard: You are a OneHitPointWonder, and many of the enemies are '''''incredibly [[DemonicSpiders nasty]]'''''.

* OneHitPointWonder: LOTS of lethal stuff in this game. Although getting "bumped" cannot kill you. Getting lit on fire will not kill you instantly, but you will die if you don't put it out on time.

** Actually, a lot of Glooples can kill other Glooples... Horrors will shred most other Glooples that get in their way, Void Eaters will blast just everything to pieces with their shockwaves (or erase them with their disintegration rays; however, they can only [[OnlyAFleshWound crack]] Grinders,) Torchies tend to light all other Glooples on fire (according to the game, Glooples are made of alcohol,) Frosties freeze everything around them (allowing said Glooples to be easily shattered,) Inkies that get set on fire by Torchies will ''explode'', Biters and Fuzzles will "pop" other Glooples in their path while lunging, and Oozles and Grays will flatten smaller Glooples that they collide with (assuming that they don't combine with said Glooples, which still means that there's one less Gloople on the screen.) This isn't even going into Meltie acid (which, well, melts most Glooples, though Grinders are (again) only weakened, Grays tend to harden as soon as they get near the stuff, Horrors ''are unaffected'', other Melties are unaffected as well, and Sharps tend to extend their spines when near a Meltie pool, which lets them pass over it unharmed... though, Sharps will be melted if they happen to not have their spikes out when a Meltie is splatted nearby and they wind up in the acid pool.) Also, there's the Amalagm, which will ''eat'' any other Gloople that it touches (as long as said other Gloople is its size or smaller)... though, frankly, that only makes things ''worse'' for you.

* SingleStrokeBattle: This is one of the few ways to kill the Queen. Problematic in that you are slow and have one sword, and she is very fast and has two swordlimbs. Thankfully, the Autoturret and the Grenade can and ''will'' make short work of her, as will her attacks breaking your reactive armor.

* SpinToDeflectStuff: Horrors use this -- in fact, the only time you can hurt it is when it ''isn't'' spinning!

** Horrors will split apart into five pieces, four of which are deadly spinning blades. The fifth is a small blue "core" which, if hit, instantly destroys the Horror. Note that the Horror is otherwise [[SpinToDeflectStuff spinning all the time, deflecting EVERYTHING you throw at it]].

*** It's the same deal with the [[spoiler:Razor Queen, though the tactic is slightly different - you can't get them from the front, you must avoid the charge, flank them, slice them and run away before the massive claws get you. A Razor Queen is actually somewhat easier to slash than a normal Queen, the window of opportunity being bigger... but then they have FIVE hitpoints as opposed to a normal Queen's one. And much nastier moves.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: Again, there are ''plenty'' of examples.
** The Meltie bursts into a deadly pool of acid that will dissolve you on contact (unless you have the hazmat suit) when it is killed.

** [[GoddamnedBats Biters]] try to "bite" your character for an instant death.

** [[DemonicSpiders Horrors]] will split apart into five pieces, four of which are deadly spinning blades. The fifth is a small blue "core" which, if hit, instantly destroys the Horror. Note that the Horror is otherwise [[SpinToDeflectStuff spinning all the time, deflecting EVERYTHING you throw at it]].

* DisintegratorRay: The [[BossInMookClothing Void Eater]] utilizes one of these. No surprise as to [[OneHitKill what happens]] if it hits ''anything'', including Horrors and Queens...

*** Splitting up into four spiked wheels that orbit around its core; of course, the disks can instantly kill you, and the Horror ''will'' launch them directly at you (and probably at angles that make them ''very'' difficult to dodge). This is the '''''only''''' time when you can kill it; hit the core to put an end to it.

*** '''''[[{{Dune}} Fear is the mind killer.]]''''' And so are spinny, flying sharp things.

** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Horrors]] are, well, '''COMPLETE''' '''''[[DemonicSpiders HORROR]]!!!!'''''

** Averted for the description of both the Gloples and your items. Everything is described with much care. Every single Glople has a text several paragraphs long devoted to them.
* FragileSpeedster: Frosties are the fastest of the glooples, and they take one hit -- or contact with anything to die. Unfortunately, when that happens, it freezes everything around it!

* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The Queen is the ''only'' gloople that's red in colour '''and''' has gold claws. [[BossFight Uh oh]]...

** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Horrors]] are, well, COMPLETE [[DemonicSpiders HORROR]]!!!!

* TrainingFromHell: In training mode you can decide what glooples to fight choosing from any species you've faced before. Meaning you can go up against a Queen, a [[EldritchAbomination Void Eater]], an [[BossInMookClothing Horror]], an Amalgam and more all at once.
