Vegetoid (/ˈvɛdʒɪˌtɔɪd/) is a species of monster encountered in the Ruins. Its Hard Mode counterpart is Parsnik.

Profile

Appearance

Vegetoid appears to be a large carrot with a face that covers its entire front. Apparent by its overworld sprite, its color is also consistent to that of a carrot. Its expression is always that of a wide smile with overjoyed eyes.

Personality

Vegetoid's main purpose is to encourage the protagonist to eat their vegetables. It often says things supporting this, mainly "Eat Your Greens."

In Battle

Appears With

• Vegetoid
• Migosp
• Loox

Attacks

• Vegetoid makes various vegetables fall from the top of the Bullet Board, which bounce when they touch the bottom of the board.
• Vegetoid makes carrots fall from the top of the board vertically, which disappears when they touch the bottom of the board.

Strategy

• Choosing "Dinner" causes it to say "Eat Your Greens", and then make one of its usual attacks, with one of the bullets colored green. Touching green bullets heal 1 HP and allow the protagonist to spare Vegetoid. This quote may be a joke based on how vegetables are commonly called "greens," while the healing bullets are also called "green."
• Choosing "Devour" when Vegetoid is ready to be spared heals 5 HP and ends the fight. Devouring Vegetoid does not appear to show the "Your HP was maxed out" message, even if it restores the protagonist's full HP.
  • In the demo, Vegetoid would be eaten whole and considered killed, giving the protagonist EXP, and the dinner option is not present. Because of this, the only ways to do a successful Pacifist Run in the demo would be to flee from Vegetoid or spare it at low HP. In the final game, only a single bite is taken, which does not count as killing no matter how low the enemy's HP is.
