Overview
You might not have played too much of the original Amorphous flash game, but you probably spent quite a lot of time playing the new Amorphous+ flash game, in order to acquire all the Amorphous+ Awards so you can unlock all of the Amorphous+ Rewards. If you are looking for an Amorphous+ Bestiary walkthrough guide sort of thing, hopefully this post is what you are looking for, if not, please let Deimos know.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Gloople Bestiary List
18 types of glooples, from the weakest to the strongest: Gloople, Stickie, Biter, Meltie, Sharp, Clutter, Inkie, Grinder, Fuzzle, Oozle, Torchie, Frostie, Gray, Amalgam, Horror, Void Eater, Queen, Razor Queen. Click on them to jump to that particular Gloople for more details.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Gloople (Gloople Bestiary List)
Harmless, except when it bumps into you or you bumped into it, causing you to be stunned for a brief moment, which leaves you open to attacks from other lethal Glooples. When two (2) Glooples bump into one another, they might merge together to become an Oozle. Bump into these harmless Glooples 30 times and you will earn an award.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Stickie (Gloople Bestiary List)
If you splatter it, it will release yellowish sticky goo. If you walk over the stick goo, you will get sticky goo all over you, which is an effective means of insulation from fire and ice, but you will move slower as a side effect. Also, if you bump into it or if it bumps into you, it will self splatter and you will have sticky goo all over you nonetheless. Bath in sticky goo for a minute to get an award. If you are on fire, try to steer your way into sticky good to put out the flames and earn another award for surviving the flames.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Biter (Gloople Bestiary List)
Biters move faster when they charge at you, splatter them head on or dodge their charges and splatter them when they pass by you. You can bump into them and not get killed, if they are not charging towards you with their mouth wide open. When two (2) Biters bump together, they might become a Horror, which is not a pleasant sight to behold.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Meltie (Gloople Bestiary List)
Splatter it and it will release acid which will melt you and most of the Glooples that moved into the acidic pool, except for the more advanced Glooples. If you bump into the Meltie or it bumps into you, it will splatter itself and you will melt, the Reactive Armor reward will not save you, as once the armor exploded you will still be in the acidic pool and will melt away.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Sharp (Gloople Bestiary List)
You can only splatter a Sharp when it has retracted its spikes, like the one on the right side as shown above. Strike a Sharp 50 times, shove it into other Glooples, strike off screen and you will earn the associated awards for those actions.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Clutter (Gloople Bestiary List)
Clutters avoid getting close to you and will flee if you chase after them. Chase any Clutter off the screen to earn an award. They prefer to shoot their Clutter babies at you, which will greatly slow you down until you cannot move if you have too many on you. Get an award for doing that, then shake off the baby Clutters by spinning your character in circles. Use the Clutters to get a 8 hit splatter combo for the “Unbelievable Swing” award.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Inkie (Gloople Bestiary List)
Does not appear in Small Nests. Inkies move fast, and they always move towards you. If it bumps into you, it will splatter and you will be blinded. Survive through the blindness to earn an award. If you splatter it and wandered onto the black ink, you will slide in a straight direction, unable to steer left or right for a while. Always splatter them Inkies to avoid getting blind.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Grinder (Gloople Bestiary List)
Does not appear in Small Nests. Try not to get squashed by the Grinder. You must “soften” the Grinder first by bombing it with a grenade, luring it into a Meltie pool, or have it bump with another Grinder. Then swing your sword at it 5 times. If you have the Razor Glaive reward, then two (2) times will suffice. You can also “soften” the Grinder with the Razor Glaive reward.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Fuzzle (Gloople Bestiary List)
Does not appear in Small Nests. You need to hit it 3 times before it will become a bald Fuzzle, hit it again to splatter it. Shave the same Fuzzle’s fur off 3 times to earn an award. Deal with it like how you deal with a Biter, except that the Fuzzle takes more swings to kill, and have a better targeting system than the Biter. Dodge its charges and whack away, then splatter the bald Fuzzle.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Oozle (Gloople Bestiary List)
Formed by two (2) Glooples bumping together. They like you and will follow you slowly until you splatter it. Go behind it and whack it three (3) times. Can form into a Gray if it bumps into another Gloople.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Torchie (Gloople Bestiary List)
Appears in Huge Nests. Leaves flaming tracks behind, sets Inkie puddles aflame and burns up other Glooples it touches. Do not whack it while it is burning, either wait for the flames to subside or lure it into sticky goo. If you are not wearing the Reactive Armor reward and get caught in flames, steer your character into a nearby sticky goo to dose the flames.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Frostie (Gloople Bestiary List)
Appears in Huge Nests. Moves very fast and will try to bump themselves into you. Will freeze everything around when they are splattered. Shake off the ice like how you shake off Clutters. Shake off the ice for the first time to earn an award.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Gray (Gloople Bestiary List)
When an Oozle bumps into a Gloople, they might become a Gray. You can try this in practice mode if you are unable to meet up with a Gray in normal games but this is probably not required as Grays are quite common. Keep a distance from it and it will launch its lance like attack, quickly close in and take a good swing. After two (2) more successful swings and you will pretty much splatter it. If you are armed with the Razor Glaive reward then the first successful whack will splatter it. Also, you can pass through its lance without getting killed, provided that you successfully dodged it in the first place.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Amalgam (Gloople Bestiary List)
It will grow bigger by absorbing other Glooples. Moves faster than the Oozle and likes to follow you around. However, it will move slower when its gets bigger. It will produce baby Amalgams and it is best to kill them before they grow and well, reproduce more Amalgam babies.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Horror (Gloople Bestiary List)
When two (2) Biters bump into one another, they become become a Horror. You can try this in practice mode if you are unable to meet up with a Horror in normal games but this is probably not required as Biters are quite common and plentiful. Just don’t splat them when they show up and let them merge. When it does the attack as shown above, run in and whack its core to splatter it in one hit.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Void Eater (Gloople Bestiary List)
If a Gray and Gloople bumps together, they might become a Void Eater. You can try this in practice mode if you are unable to meet up with a Void Eater in normal games and you want to fill up your Amorphous+ Bestiary as you are dying to meet up with the Razor Queen. If you want the award for killing the Void Eater for the first time, you can only splatter it while it is charging up its death beam. Suggest to use the Sprint reward to charge in fast and splatter it in one hit. Yes, like the Horror, the Void Eater can be splatter in one swing. Or you can attempt to blow it up with a Grenade reward if you already gotten the award for killing it for the first time.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Queen (Gloople Bestiary List)
If you have the Razor Glaive, swing at the farthest spot that can be struck. If not, whack it the exact moment it attacks you. Timing and luck is crucial, think of it as you and the Queen are cowboys in a pistol duel, you can only shoot when she has drawn her pistol, and you must shoot faster than her. The Queen can also “respawn” itself if a bug manages to get inside another Gloople. At the end of a single nest, there is a chance that a Queen might appear. The probability is often higher for larger nests.
Amorphous+ Bestiary – Razor Queen (Gloople Bestiary List)
The Razor Queen is one huge bad-rear-end end-game-gloople. She lots of attacks, but one of them will leave it open for a strike, when she charges toward you. Dodge the charge and whack it, then flee. Whack it five (5) times to splatter it, or two (2) times if you are using the Razor Glaive. Kill the Razor Queen once and you will get the special key to unlock the Razor Glaive reward. In order for a Razor Queen to appear, your bestiary must be full, which means you must have encountered every type of Gloople before you will finally get to meet the Razor Queen. The above screen shot shows the Razor Screen lunging at a character wearing Reactive Armor reward and armed with the Razor Glaive reward. Yes, Deimos finally met and killed the Razor Queen.
Deimos finally encountered a Razor Queen. Detailed post about her in production now.

Deimos’s Thoughts
Given the success of harvesting search engine traffic these few days, Deimos launches another attempt in order to enjoy this harvest. Hopefully, this Amorphous+ Bestiary walkthrough guide is able to satisfy those who are searching it and Deimos will continue to enjoy a good harvest. On the topic of Amorphous+ Bestiary, shame to say that Deimos has not yet come across the Queen and the Razor Queen yet. As the Razor Queen has a lot of attacks, and it seems that many people have trouble killing the Razor Queen, an in depth post about it would be the proper thing to do.

Yeah I heard about that game, no more fatalities though.
I finally met up with the Queen! Not the Razor Queen though.
@jdacheifs0:
What do you mean by that?
They Glooples just appear, I cannot make them.
@Stupid Queens!!!:
I think, to kill the Queen, is kinda like cowboys in a pistol duel.
Both have their hands on the holster, ready to shoot.
But if you draw and shoot first, she will parry your shot.
If she draws and then you quickly draw and shoot, you will kill her.
This is what I concluded after fighting the Queen in practice mode.
Are those whiskers? Ain’t they supposed to be arms?

said the following:
Hello, I have fought but not killed in a real battle yet, both types of queen. In practice, I know how to beat them, but in the real fight it is simply too hectic.
A couple of things though, the Razor Queen lets you rematch against her a total of (5) times. (Unless I miscounted.) So, unlike the queen you don’t feel so gypped when she lunges from off-screen.
Also, the Razor Queen is vulnerable at all times, but the only way to hit her is a specific point in her mid section. My best method for killing her currently is to use the turret to distract her. (She will go towards it and ignore you.) Usually the turret gets off one hit of damage either by shooting or exploding, and in the meantime you can slash her middle unopposed. (I usually get 1-2 hits.)
Her lunge attack seems to be performed most often at a range of about 1/4 of the screen distance, closer causes her to just slash and farther often causes her to go into siege mode. The lunge attack is quite easy to side-step and is the most conventional way to line-up a shot at her mid-section.
The siege mode is rendered (almost) completely harmless by the reflective armor. Most of the siege attacks simply bounce off, this allows you to walk up and attack during this time if your are feeling lucky. (She occasionally drops one of her minions, and those CAN break your armor. If this happens while your close to her during siege mode, then your sunk.) She appears to block some attacks in siege mode though, and might ignore your hits anyway unless the angle is perfect.
There you have it, that is basically all of my knowledge of the Razor Queen, I hope it helps you find and defeat her.
P.S. I have only found her when I have exactly 14 glopples left in the nest, and I have never found a normal queen with 14 glopples left. So, while it is just a hypothesis, try sitting passive with 14 left and see how you fare.
P.P.S. Good luck! You will need it.

Some questions:
1st: When an amalgam appear, is there still a chance that i can meet a queen at the end of a level?
2nd: Do i just need all glooples in the bestiary to encounter the razor queen, or do i also need all the “defeat sertain kind of gloople” awards?
3rd: Can i encounter the razor queen, no matter which kind of nest i play??

Nice guide. I still need to find the Frostie, they appear by themselves or it’s a merge?
And btw, you should mention that a Void Eater is a merge between the Gray and the Gloople

Dragonheart91
said the following:
You can encounter a Razor Queen in any nest, and the only requirement is that you must have SEEN every other type of gloople.
Frosties are a standard type not a merge, play huge nest or hardcore mode to find them faster.
I have no idea what an Amalgam would have to do with finding a Queen. It should be unrelated.
@Saintspirit: Are you wearing BOTH armors in those pictures? You seem to look pretty pimp.

I got quite a shock too myself when the Biter caught me off guard.
@saintspirit:
Thanks!
@Wasabi:
From my experience, I failed to meet the Queens after Amalgams appeared.
I believe you only need to fill up your bestiary.
Yes, it is possible to encounter the Razor Queen in a small nest.
@SyKot:
Frosties are not formed and appear in Huge Nest or in Bounty Run.
Thanks for the friendly reminder yo!
@Dragonheart91:
Thanks for the feedback again yo!
I think it should be fast difficulty ramp in Bounty Run, not hardcore mode.
From my experience, no Queen shows up after Amalgams appeared.
Lucky you! Three (3) times in a row!
@koolguydude2:
No comment on your gravatar picture.
Yes, I finally butchered the Razor Queen!
@Wasabi:
You can, but it is easier to meet the Queen in a small nest though.

Dragonheart91
said the following:
You have to time it perfectly. Stay at a distance that is exactly how far she lunges, and then swing as soon as she starts to lunge. It has to be exact, but luckily if you are slightly off it will parry. If you do it properly, her body will move into range but her claws won’t have yet. Queens are quite a bit difficult to kill. Both of them.

I noticed that you say the ONLY way to kill a void eater without rewards is when it’s charging it’s beam. You can also kill it directly after the beam attack finishes. If you manuver, while the beam pulls you in, right beside the void eater, you have a second to whack it while it recovers.

Awsome! I made a glitch that lets you automaticly clear a nest.
Select Gloople in practice mode, than when at the tip screen, right click and press back.
While at the menu right click the nest you would like to beat, and press forward.
Then press that same nest a second time with a left click.
Quickly move to the right, and rack up your award.

I put together a little strategy guide for killing each Gloople type. I haven’t encountered a Queen or Razer Queen yet, so I couldn’t give any strategy on those. I might post that later once I find them.
Gloople – As the name implies, this is your run-of-the-mill baddy and are the cannon fodder of Amorphous+. They travel in a straight line chosen seemingly at random and only change direction when bouncing off something else. If you need tips on how to kill these little green bastards, you should probably turn the computer off and go read a book or something. However, simply knowing how to kill these pests isn’t all that your strategy should consist of. Their biggest threat comes in its ability to bump into you and leave you prone for what feels way too long when you’ve got another, more advanced Gloople on your heels. Generally speaking, you can ignore these in favor of more dangerous and more valuable bounty as all it takes is a mere step to the side to avoid them. Bear in mind that their ability to stall you can be overwhelming in large numbers, so you’ll still want to keep their population moderately low. As they are typically the most abundant Gloople to be found, they are going to be your first resource in acquiring a higher score multiplier.
Stickie – Barely a step above the original Green Gloople, Stickies are usually going to be the second type of bogey you encounter. Just like their predecessors, Stickies travel in a straight line when they spawn. Unlike their green cousins, their path is not chosen at random. Instead, they will head straight for you – or at least were you were standing when they spawned. Just like Green Glooples, their risk and value levels are relatively low and as you find yourself knee-deep in slime you will want to simply side step these mindless yellow freaks. You will still want to consider the Stickies’ primary function: to cover a target in a viscous restrictive goo. The entrails left by a dead Stickie can be both a blessing and a burden. If you somehow manage to get yourself stuck in that mess, your movement will be severely slowed, leaving you vulnerable to attacks from faster Glooples. Wearing the Hazard Suit will negate this obstacle and leave you to reap most of the benefits left behind. When the tables are turned and another Gloople runs into the yellow puddle of ooze, they too get covered and their speed is hindered. On top of that, a Torchie’s fire will even be extinguished when it’s slimed. Some of the larger Glooples are immune to this effect, so don’t rely on it too much. Also, the isolative effects of the slime will also keep you from being frozen when a Frostie bursts nearby. Since you can’t be covered in Stickie goo while wearing the Hazard Suit, this is one benefit you won’t be able to reap while wearing it. As a final note, when choosing to attack a Stickie or any other Glopple type with a splatter effect, you will want to try to keep the Gloople at full sword length and try to avoid splattering them on the far left side of your swing, as it’s possible to pop them all over yourself.
Biter – These toothy motherfuckers will be your first real reason to start screaming at your computer and will continue to be a healthy reminder of your fragile human mortality throughout your hunt. On top of being the first lethal Gloople type you encounter, they are also the first type capable of individual navigation and can move slightly faster than your average Gloople. The Biter will track your movements in your futile attempt to escape bloody death and will pounce with little warning once you’re in range. Luckily, they can’t change direction mid-pounce and can be easily avoided as long as you remain observant. Their bite delivers equal damage to your sword and can destroy another Gloople. This is not incredibly reliable and your own attacks will usually be a whole lot more effective and rewarding. Because of their increased speed when they lunge at you, timing is key to survival. They do utter what I assume passes as a grunt the moment they lunge for you, and this is your queue to swing. Once you’ve killed a few, you’ll learn to judge their range and start your attack before they can. The biggest threat the Biter poses lies in their ability to glom together to create a Horror. You really should try to avoid this.
Meltie – These little guys are basically a lethal version of the Stickie. They splat in the same way, which means you will want to take the same precautions in positioning them before you swing as you would a Stickie. There are two big differences that set Melties apart: they share the Biters’ ability to track your movements, and the acid goo they leave behind will strip the flesh from your bones in the blink of the eye. Fortunately for you, their tracking ability is much worse than that of the Biter and they will usually miss you as long as you keep an eye peeled. Just like the Stickie, you can also use the Meltie’s corrosive properties to your advantage. Most threats will be neutralized upon contact with the Meltie, and they will be your primary way to strip a Grinder of its tough shell. Some of the bigger baddies who are immune to the Stickie entrails will still be eradicated by Melties.
Sharp – Now this is where things really get tough. The Sharp’s spikes allow it to take up at least twice the space of your average Gloople and, of course, make up its primary method of defense. Their turn radius is somewhere between that of the Biter and the Meltie. While the spikes are exposed, the Sharp is invulnerable to all attacks and any hazardous pools. They can still be deflected in this state and can be used to kill other Glooples. They tend to retract their spikes when you are behind them or when you are a certain distance away. This is your chance to move in and attack. Unlike a lot of the more advanced Glooples, the Sharp only takes one swing to splatter.
Clutter – Seems to be a common enemy type in a lot of beat-em-up games like this. Moving of its own free will, the Clutter will maintain a distance and spit its offspring at you. These mini Clutters will slow you down much like Stickie goo, but don’t seem to effect other Glooples. They also don’t dissipate on their own and instead you will have to shake them off by moving back-and-forth. If that’s not bad enough, you won’t be able to move at all past looking around if you allow yourself to be completely covered and enough baby Clutters can sometimes keep you from swinging your sword, resulting in the same animation as when you get bumped into by a Green Gloople. When you splatter a Clutter, it will split into one, two, or three baby Clutters which will run away from you and slowly grow into an adult Clutter. Baby Clutters that you shake off will do the same and though many of you will never see this, allowing yourself to be completely covered in Clutters before shaking them off can result in a hoard of adults. Just like with Stickies, the Hazard Suit eradicates all baby Clutters like a bug zapper. Just be sure not to let them drain your battery.
Inkie – One impact with an Inkie and you’ll wish you never picked up a Spaltmaster. This will prove to be one of the most annoying Glooples you will ever encounter. If you happen to be hit by an Inkie, your screen will go black for several precious seconds during which gameplay will proceed as normal. Surviving these few moments of blindness will come down to sheer luck, though you can improve your odds by moving and swinging. If an Inkie hits you, try to remember what Glooples were around you, where they were located, and where they were headed. Of course the Glooples’ positions will change quickly, but remembering this should help you survive the first half of your blind spell. Alternately, if you walk into the splatter left behind by an Inkie, you will slide out of control in the direction you were moving. Most other Glooples will slide as well. Inkies are faster than a lot of the other Gloople types and a head-on impact with one will drain approximately two thirds of the Hazard Suit’s power. All in all, these are among the most dangerous non-lethal Glooples in the game.
Grinder – Imagine if the Sharp’s reach was filled in with concrete and then some. The Grinder is normally completely immune to your attacks and will require some tenderizing before they can be splattered. These juggernauts are capable of splattering just about any other unprotected Gloople by simply rolling over them and can even kill you on impact whether you’re wearing the Reactive Armor or not. Your only real saving grace is that they move pretty slow and they have the widest turn radius of any Gloople. In order to kill a Grinder, you first need to crack the shell. This can be done in a number of ways, including guiding two Grinders into each other, guiding a Grinder into an Instant Wall, and throwing a Grenade at it, but the most available method is to cover it in Melti entrails. Once the shell is cracked, you’ll see the molten insides seeping through the cracks and the Grinder will go down in a daunting five hits with the Splatmaster 3000! Killing a Grinder earns you a whopping 100 points even without multipliers, but the effort required to accomplish such a feat may not be worth it if you’re focusing on simply surviving. In that case, just try not to get flattened.
Fuzzle – This cute little guy is essentially a Biter on steroids. They take at least three hits to splat and have better control over their own movements. They also lunge much further than Biters. Unlike any other Gloople seen so far, the Fuzzle telegraphs its intent before attacking. You’ll see the Fuzzle slow to a stop and furrow the hair on its back just before letting out a snarl and lunging. This actually gives you more time to attack than with a Biter. The Fuzzle also changes direction to circle you clockwise when struck. Just be sure to land the killing blow quickly, as the Fuzzle will recover to full strength before long.
Oozle – Well… you see, when two Glooples love each other very much they participate in something called reverse mitosis. And that’s how Oozles are made. When those seemingly harmless Green Glooples decide to whip out the big guns, this is what you get. They’re big and bulky and can splat most other Glooples, including other Oozles, on contact. They can turn a little sharper than a Biter, but luckily are a little slow. It’s possible to splat them with one hit while they’re still forming. This only lands you points for a regular Gloople, but it makes the kill that much easier as it takes three swings to kill an Oozle once it’s got itself together. When you decide to take one of these bad boys out, remember not to stand directly in front of it or you’ll get yourself digested. Instead, stand off you one side and swing twice. You’ll probably have to reposition yourself before you can connect with the third and final blow. Above all else, you want to avoid letting an Oozle absorb more Glooples. By the time you see the next stage in its development, you’ll probably have your priorities split in multiple directions as it is and you really won’t want to have to worry about a Gray on top of all that.
Torchie – Just the cutest little suicidal slime balls you ever did see! As its name suggests, the Torchie will ignite itself the moment it enters the playing field and chase you in a gentle arch, leaving a trail of fire behind it. The little flames it leave in its tracks are actually harmless to you and most Glooples and really only serve to relight a Torchie that’s gone out. As previously mentioned, leading a Torchie through Stickie goo will put out its fire and prevent it from relighting. This can be immensely helpful if you do decide to add a Torchie pelt to your trophy wall. You really don’t want to attack a Torchie while it’s aflame as you will cause its entire payload to catch fire all at once, turning you into a fine red mist and the time spent unlit is so short that it would more often than not just be in your best interest to avoid them altogether. You would be wise to never allow an Inkie to come into contact with a Torchie or a big fire left by one as Inkies are incredibly flammable and will blow almost anything on screen into oblivion the moment it touches fire.
Frostie – The antithesis to the Torchie, Frosties are speedy little buggers that skate toward you and burst into a winter wonderland on impact. Frosties work a lot like Torchies in that they explode when you kill them as well as when they run into something. They are not directly harmful to you, and instead will freeze you in place. While in this state, any other type of Gloople can shatter you by running into you. Even the normally harmless Green Glooples. In order to escape your icy prison, you need to wiggle your mouse around and shake the ice loose. The further you are from the epicenter of the blast, the shorter you will stay frozen. Just like the Torchies, you’re probably better off leading these offstage.
Gray – This is the mother Sharp. When an Oozle absorbs another Gloople, its outer membrane hardens and it gains the ability to extend a long, deadly lance in your direction and can still mow you over the same as its green cousin, the Oozle. The Gray is slow moving and keeping a distance should be no real trouble. The real danger comes as its reach. When focusing on killing a Gray, you will want to stand directly in front of it and far enough away that it will need to try and stab you instead of just rolling over you. The moment it starts to extend its lance, take a step to either side and rush for the main body. The Gray is only vulnerable while extending its lance and will harden its shell any other time you try to attack it. The moment the lance reaches its full length, the Gray will start to retract it and if you swing now you’ll only lose precious seconds recovering. Once you get the hang of how and when to hit the Gray, it’s only a matter of getting in all three hits before something else kills you.
Amalgam – At first glance this appears to be just another easily dispatched Oozle. But don’t let the similarities fool you. Notice the more yellow complexion and the more evenly round shape. Rather than being combined from smaller Glooples, the Amalgam enters the field fully formed and takes an amazing minimum of six swings to kill! And it doesn’t stop there! The Amalgam is faster and more agile than the Oozle and will hunt you non-stop until one of you is dead. But that says nothing for the Amalgam’s most impressive ability. As it chases after you, it will absorb most other Glooples in its path and each absorbed Gloople means one more strike you have to make before killing it. It will still splatter Stickies and Melties, will be splattered by Horrors, and bounce off Torchies and catch fire. Amalgams are immune to Stickie goo, and a Meltie puddle will act as a single sword strike, but a fire will make short work of it unless something is done to extinguish it before it burns up. This will probably be your most effective means of destroying an Amalgam so long as you can maneuver a Torchie in place. When you do attack an Amalgam directly, they act similarly to Clutters and have the potential of splitting into smaller, temporarily harmless Amalgams which will run from you and attempt to absorb other Glooples to grow big and strong again. Since the smaller Amalgams can’t hurt you, you can use the time this buys to focus on more immediate threats, but you will want to make sure to do away with these little guys before they are able to absorb too many Glooples. Although normally only one Amalgam will spawn at once, it’s possible to be overwhelmed by a split Amalgam duplicating and growing and duplicating again.
Horror – This living buzz saw of the Amorphous world is just as scary as it sounds. This is what happens when you leave to Biters alone in a dark room. If the unnerving buzzing sound this thing emits isn’t enough to stop you in your tracks and get you killed, one of its three methods of attack will be. The most obvious way this thing can kill you is to simply run into you and tear you to shreds. Even your Reactive Armor won’t stand up to this. If you’re smart and you keep a distance, you will likely witness the Horror shoot off a row of teeth in all directions. This attack can be easily avoided if you keep a distance, but any small Gloople that gets struck will quickly turn into a Biter, and with so many Biters on the field your chances of encountering two Horrors at once are multiplied. It’s third attack is where we get down to the nitty gritty. The Horror will occasionally loose its teeth in four smaller bodied that act like deadlier versions of your Saw Drone. While these monsters are out, it leaves the blue nucleus naked and defenseless until they all return. This is your chance to strike! One swing and the Horror is no more. Getting in past those spinning freaks is another story.
Void Eater – Why did you leave a Gray alive this long? Seriously? Well, ok. You asked for it. The Void Eater is a real nightmare! It only has two ways to attack. The Void Eater will stay at the edge of the play field, take a moment to charge up, then release negative energy in a thin beam that works like a black hole, drawing anything and everything up and condensing it to gravitational singularity. This will of course kill you regardless if you’re wearing Reactive Armor or not. The Hazard Suit will grant a certain level of resistance to the gravitational pull, but you will still need to be quick on your feet. During this attack and while the Void Eater is charging will be your best opportunity to strike. One whack will send this demon back to Hell. If you dawdle too long and it end this first attack, be ready to have your very existence erased as you are torn apart at the molecular level. Whenever you aren’t in the Void Eater’s line of sight, it will implode into itself, drawing everything toward it similar to its void beam, and from this state explode if you get too close.
