That still doesn't stop you from beating them up to obtain the chests they guard, however.

* BalanceBuff: The Magic Potato Baby was considered a PowerUpLetdown since it only gave +30 orbs to all Common bosses, and one of its ingredients (the Potato Man) had a better ability that gave +20% orbs from all bosses. Since the latter was multiplicative, it quickly outclassed the Magic Potato Baby's effect. A later update changed the Magic Potato Baby to give +50% orbs from all bosses, which makes it a far more useful item compared to the Potato Man.
