Vulkin

Vulkin is one of the monsters that can be encountered in the Hotlands. Vulkin is a kind creature who, unfortunately for the player, thinks its lava can heal people.

Like its name implies, Vulkin looks like a volcano, with the conical structure that is a common characteristic of volcanoes; lava can be seen leaking from its crown, and little puffs of smoke can be seen spewing out steadily. Vulkin usually has its eyes closed and a permanent blush. Due to its cheerful attitude, it's usually seen smiling.

Appears With

 * Tsunderplane

Attacks

 * Its "thunder" attack is a cloud at the top center of the board, firing bolts at a wide angle toward the SOUL, separating more the farther they travel. A variation of it has the cloud move.
 * This attack actually can speed you up if you get hit by it, which can be either good or bad depending on the situation and the play-style of the player.


 * Its "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

 * For the pacifist route, you can SPARE this monster by hugging or encouraging it. However, encouraging it will increase its attack, and hugging it will decrease the player's defense.
 * Criticizing it will discourage it from attacking altogether, which is useful when there is another monster.
