Vulkin with a hot dog

Vulkin is an enemy that the protagonist can encounter in Hotland.

Profile

Appearance

As its name implies, Vulkin resembles a volcano, with the conical structure that is a common characteristic of volcanoes. Lava can be seen leaking from their crown, and little puffs of smoke can be seen spewing out steadily. Vulkin usually has their eyes closed and a permanent blush. Due to their cheerful attitude, they are usually seen smiling.

Personality

Vulkin is a kind creature who, unfortunately for the protagonist, thinks their lava can heal people.

In Battle

Appears With

• Tsunderplane

Attacks

• Their "Thunder" attack is a cloud at the top center of the board, firing bolts at a wide angle toward the SOUL, the bolts separating more the farther they travel. A variation of this has the cloud move.
  • This attack actually can speed you up if the protagonist gets hit by it.
• Their "fire" attack is two columns at the right and left edges of the board, shooting fireballs toward the center; the fireballs go back to the column from which they were fired.

Strategy

• This monster can be spared by hugging or encouraging them. However, encouraging them will increase their attack, and hugging them will decrease the protagonist's defense.
• Criticizing them will discourage them from attacking altogether, which is useful when there is another monster.
