Scolopendra

the kill-kill-kill lady · the final boss · the dungeon boss · the puddle

The game's Level 500 Dungeon Boss, defeated absurdly when Carl fires an enriched pet-biscuit banger into her mouth, collapsing her into a gelatinous puddle.

Story so far

Scolopendra, the practically-immortal Level 500 Dungeon Boss, meets an ending no one could have scripted. With her third Nine-Tier attack seconds away and the arena in ruins, Carl — his inventory scrambled to nothing but hats by Eris's chaos swap — has Donut search-and-combine a banger sphere with the 'Nothing Special' enriched pet biscuit, then hurls the ball with his xistera straight into the boss's yawning mouth. Splatch: the biggest, baddest entity in the dungeon splatters into a quivering gelatinous puddle the size of a small elephant, the pet biscuit collapsing her the way it turns any creature into a would-be party companion.

The AI's stunned achievement reads simply 'What The Actual Fuck, Carl?' with no reward it can think of. Uzi Jesus notes 'a lot of people's auras inside that thing.' The final boss, undefeated in the game's history, is undone by a joke consumable — leaving her a puddle beside the shattered tree as the Ascendency looms.
