Woshua

Woshua (/ˈwɑː.ʃuː.ˌə/) is an enemy that appears in Waterfall. It appears to be a living bathtub or washing machine with a round head bearing a blank expression, and a small bird sitting in its water-filled body. It resembles a turtle. Woshua speaks in short sentences and seeks to make everything clean.

Appears with

 * Aaron
 * Moldbygg

Attacks

 * Spiraling patterns of water-drop bullets branch out from the center of the Bullet Board.
 * If attacking with Aaron, these bullets may be light blue.
 * A soap-bar projectile with the word "HOPE" on it moves across and bounces on the sides of the Bullet Board, leaving trails of shining bullets that disappear after a short time.

Strategy

 * The protagonist must ask to be cleaned to spare Woshua. This will add three Healing Green bullets to Woshua's water drop attack. If the protagonist allows Woshua to heal them, it will be pleased with its cleaning and allow the protagonist to spare them.
 * If the protagonist chooses the action touch while they are unclean, Woshua will reject this action and attack the protagonist as normal. If the protagonist is cleaned while trying to touch Woshua, they will give it a friendly pat.
 * It is also possible to make Woshua flee, by hugging Moldbygg, then touching Woshua.
 * Telling a joke will disgust Woshua, reducing its attack.

Trivia

 * The line "OUT!!! darned spot", is a reference to a scene in Shakespeare's Macbeth. In the scene, Lady Macbeth begins to believe that she has a bloodstain on her hand when there is none, and exclaims "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"
 * Woshua was inspired by OMOCAT.
 * The sound that Woshua makes when he is being hurt is similar to Flowey's sound when he is being hurt.
 * Woshua's face bears a striking resemblence to the MS Paint Adventures logo, home of Homestuck, where Toby Fox contributed as a music producer.
 * The flavor text that appears upon joking appears to allude to the story of the Fallen Child and Asriel.
 * With the exception of the Amalgamates, Woshua is the only monster who displays two quotes at the same time.
 * After completing Waterfall, Woshua appears at the beginning of the Garbage Dump, stating that he cleans the trash and sorts it into symmetrical piles – "It's hard work, but somebody has to do it."
 * Woshua can also be found in the "War of Humans and Monsters" story hallway, stating that if he could, he would erase the whole world because everything is so dirty: "Ohhh. Don't get the wrong idea. I don't want anyone to die. When people die, they turn into dust and that's hard to clean up." If spoken to again, he says, "Don't turn to dust."
 * Before 1.001, Woshua's stats were "ATK 7 DEF 1".
 * Woshua's name is a portmanteau of wash and the name Joshua. His name also could be a corruption of "Wash You" (Wash You → Wosh Ya → Woshua)
 * His name can also be derived from the Chinese phrase 我刷 (wǒ shuā), meaning "I brush".


 * Entering the name "Woshua" for the fallen human will cause the game to describe it as a "clean name", and allows the name to be used.
