Whimsun

Whimsun (/ˈhwɪm.zən/) is a monster encountered in the Ruins. Its Hard Mode and CORE counterpart is Whimsalot.

Appearance
Whimsun's appearance takes on that of an insect with two drooping antennae, two small wings, and two little arms and legs. Its body shape resembles that of a ghost. Its facial expression is sad, with an open frowning mouth and eyebrows.

Personality
Whimsun is extremely sensitive, as suggested by its flavor text. It will run away if the protagonist consoles it and is terrorized by a small finger wiggle. It can be spared immediately and is extremely apologetic. Its attacks do not target or intentionally hit the SOUL but rather limit the SOUL's bullet board.

Appears With

 * Froggit

Attacks

 * A ring of moths circles the middle of the Bullet Board, sizing in and out.
 * Two vertical lines of moths on either side of the Bullet Board move from the bottom and with the SOUL.

Attacking

 * Due to Whimsun's timid nature and the fact it is very sensitive emotionally, Whimsun will always die in one hit, no matter the weapon or strength of the attack.

Pacifism

 * Whimsum's attacks will not hit an immobile SOUL. However, when paired with other enemies, the attacks become harder to dodge.
 * Whimsum can be spared from the start, though no GOLD is earned by doing so. It runs away if the protagonist consoles it, which also earns no GOLD. However, if the protagonist terrorizes Whimsum before consoling it, it drops 2 GOLD.

Trivia

 * Whimsun's name may be derived from whimsy or whimsical. This monster may also be skittish because it has "some whims".
