Carl's loyal Cretin bodyguards, now toting real shield magic — and a pink boa and cowboy hat courtesy of Donut.
Bomo and The Sledge greet Carl and Princess-Donut at the station-41 Desperado Club with an upgrade: The Sledge casts a blue magic-protection spell while Bomo proudly deploys a newly purchased translucent 'smack protect' shield against physical attacks, leaving the pair practically invulnerable inside the club. They stand guard as Carl confronts the dangerous Frank-Q — Bomo twice snapping to intercept when Frank moves, several unseen cretin bodyguards materializing at his side — while The Sledge escorts Donut through the Bitches and Penis Parade strip clubs, returning draped in a pink feather boa, a cowboy hat, and a giant 'I like my sausages extra-large' pinback button. Their gentle loyalty holds firm as ever.

Carl and Donut's recurring Desperado Club security, now shield-casters and reluctant fashion victims.
