* LivingInAFurnitureStore: [[InvertedTrope Inverted:]] Jackie has essentially turned his house into a literal furniture store named Jack's Shack, but most of the "merchandise" is in a rather poor state and it is apparent that he isn't much good at housekeeping.

Added DiffLines:


[[folder:Maggot]]
Little nasty bugs that aren't too hard to deal with... individually.
----
* ZergRush: Typically show up ''en masse'' to compensate for their weakness. If you don't have a HerdHittingAttack ready, they can be a real problem.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Charging Rat]]
Slow moving rats who can suddenly charge at your cats.
----
* DashAttack: If a valid target is lined up cardinally with this rat, it will charge full speed at it, clearing the distance in the blink of an eye and dealing some good damage.
* MightyGlacier: When they aren't charging, they move at a rate of ''one tile per turn.''

Added DiffLines:

A Mini-Boss based off the Mage class, armed with big but slow elemental attacks.
----
* ElementalPowers: Just like your own Mages, Lucy can use spells that control the elements. Her three unique spells are:
** [[KillItWithIce MC Blizz,]] which causes all units around Lucy to become [[HarmlessFreezing frozen solid]] and thus lose their next turn.
** [[KillItWithFire MC Flamethrower,]] a blast of fire that expands outwards from Lucy in a cone shape, igniting anything flammable.
** [[ShockAndAwe MC Thunder,]] four diagonal blasts of lightning outwards from Lucy [[StaticStunGun with a chance to stun.]]
* MightyGlacier: Armed with three different but equally huge and powerful unique elemental spells... who all need to be primed before firing, and show a [[CrosshairAware clear visual tell]] of exactly where they will hit before being cast.


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Zodiac]]
A cat serial killer armed with a six-shooter revolver and a ''very'' itchy trigger finger.
----
* CountingBullets: He sure isn't. Zodiac only has time to reload at the end of the round, so if you get him to waste his six bullets early (specially by getting him to shoot at cover) he is left temporarily defenseless. To help with this, Zodiac's remaining ammo can be checked by mousing over him.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: A point-blank shot with his gun deals only about seven or so damage. While this is nothing to scoff at given how often he shoots, revolvers wielded by your cats usually deal [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill just short of a thousand damage per shot.]]
* TriggerHappy: He is provoked to shoot whenever someone ''moves.''

* PlayingPossum: Play Dead downs a cat on the spot, but without getting [[ScarsAreForever injured.]] There's a surprisingly number of uses for this. Besides sparing a cat who's screwed from getting a broken limb, most enemies won't attack downed cats meaning they're mostly safe, and if a Cleric uses Revive on the "downed" cat, it'll heal an injury it got normally- one of, if not the only way to actually lower the amount of injuries a cat has.

* DashAttack: Bull Rush has the Fighter pull a leaf from the Tank's book and dash forward a long distance before delivering a melee attack with {{Knockback}}. The Berserker Dash attack is similar, but it trades in some self-damage, less range and the loss of knockback to become very cheap to use.
