Bomo

Bomo receives Yemaya's open-ended boon for rebuilding her shrine and chooses reunion with Sledge, causing his immediate transfer to Larracos.

Story so far

Bomo stands awestruck behind the crawlers while the goddesses appear. Yemaya identifies him as the one who physically assembled her blue obelisk and offers anything within her power.

He first considers asking for more games, then admits he misses Sledge. When he says his friend is in Larracos, Yemaya declares it done and instantly makes Bomo disappear.

The transfer apparently sends him directly to the ninth floor. It fulfills his emotional wish but strips Carl and Donut of his combat strength, missile armor, and crucial stairwell-detection teleport ability during the eighth floor.

Appearance

A massive stone creature standing ankle-deep in fountain water beneath Yemaya's webbed hand.

Role
