Lunkeroths are major enemies found in Specter of Torment and King of Cards. They are large green fish with blue fins and mouth. They can be found in the Iron Whale-themed stages and Tower of Fate: Entrance.
Behavior and Tactics[]
Lunkeroths chase after their target while remaining in water and deal two full damage points with each hit they deliver. They can be escaped by climbing on high platforms; however, if it is not high enough, they will still reach the platform by doing a small hop out of water.
Lunkeroths are invulnerable to most attacks and can only be hurt by two Dread Talon slashes, two hits from the Scepter of Swiftness, or if they are baited and accidentally take a direct hit from a dropping Anchor. If defeated, they release a small group of fish of various sizes.
Joustus Card[]
One of the Joustus cards in King of Cards is a Lunkeroth card which has a Double Arrow facing up. It's also a Slam card.
Trivia[]
- They are similar in design to the Boss Bass and Cheep Chomp enemies from the Super Mario series, except that they don't instantly kill their target by swallowing them whole.
- In the game's files, their model is named "Big Fish".
- More fish enemies like Lunkeroth's design were conceptualized for the original campaign.[1] In the end, only catfish (Serprize) and angler fish (Teethalon) designs were kept before more could be introduced in the later campaigns.
- Interestingly, the Lunkeroth represented on the Joustus card slightly differs from their standard appearance, namely lacking the protruding fangs from their mouth.
