The Enemies
Here is all the information and download links for the enemies this month.

Sandrobe - Moosh

• Enemy Name: Sandrobe
• Description: When in doubt, just submit a wizzrobe that fits the theme. This enemy was started as an experiment on having an enemy split into individual pixels and...personally I think it's kinda a dud. Put in too much effort to let it go completely to waste, so there you have it. It requires NPCAnim.zh.
• Version of ZQuest: nightly-2023-09-24
• Quest File: https://www.mediafir...ndrobe.zip/file

Devalant - Moosh

• Enemy Name: Devalant
• Description: It's Devalant from the Desert Palace in ALttP. This antlion enemy creates a sand whirlpool in place that sucks you in and then shoots three fireballs. It's kinda a nightmare for close quarters combat. I happened to have a script for it lying around and it seemed appropriate for the theme. It requires NPCAnim.zh.

• Enemy Name: Sandy Mandy
• Description: It's made of sand! Can you really defeat this enemy?

Thanks everyone for entering! I'll be closing the poll on the 11th. Now, vote and discuss!

Oh wow! Lejes had the same idea as me with the pixels but did it way better. Definitely would've voted there if I hadn't entered.

[Bagu]

Good idea, to provide a video, since most users are too buisy with their own projects, to try out all test quests.
I just had a look at it.

So my personal vote

Best Overall: Sandy Mandy

Most Useful: Devalant

Most Creative: Sandy Mandy

Most Entertaining: Sandrobe

Oh, egads! The theme is sand! But what if...I were to purchase Castlevania Red Skeleton and disguise it as my own enemy? Ho ho ho ho ho! Delightfully devilish, Lejes!

 

I like the Sandrobe, Wizzrobes being funny little guys is always a good time.
