Anchovy

Anchovy is a leading member of the Sea Spiders pirates, acting as the stage boss of Mt. Afrokupa. She's a slime girl made entirely out of pizza - "half pizza, actually, on my dad's side."

Appearance
Anchovy is an orange slime with red eyes and mouth. Her body is made of a layer of thick, melty cheese, and she has a second, slightly darker layer of orange cheese for 'hair,' which in turn has pepperoni slices and other toppings stuck into it. The red in her eyes is a marinara filling.

The Professor says she's a "heart attack waiting to happen."

Personality
Upon first encountering her, Anchovy becomes paranoid, flustered, and angry - perhaps justifiably so, given that Chelshia's first reaction to seeing a pizza slime is to openly fantasize about eating Anchovy. The slime is resentful and bitter, having received this treatment from nearly everyone she's met for her entire life. She joined the Sea Spiders for an opportunity to take out her rage on the world.

Fighting Style
Anchovy boasts a number of moves, almost all of which involve shooting pizza ingredients out of her body.


 * Cheese Wave - Anchovy appears in the center of the arena and slams the ground, sending waves of fast-moving cheese outward to the left and right. They can be jumped, with good timing, but Anchovy is invincible during this move while flashing.
 * Sauce Stream - Anchovy materializes at one end of the boss room and fires a stream of red projectiles across the room.
 * Cheese Wheels - She appears at one end of the room and lobs several blobs of cheese in an arc. Dash to dodge.
 * Cheese Clones - Three copies of Anchovy rise up from the floor and attempt to collide with Chelshia, dealing damage on contact as normal.

Landing a hit on Anchovy will knock her out of her attack cycle and cause her to try to counterattack by hopping forward. She's still vulnerable when she's hopping, so a quick player can potentially chain this for multiple hits in succession. The easiest way to beat her is most likely to dash in and out and prevent Anchovy from using most of her attacks before she can give you a pizza her mind.

Upon defeating Anchovy, Chelshia obtains the Sauce Shot.

Relationships
Sea Spiders

Anchovy is a member of the Sea Spiders Pirates. She claims to be one of their 'top generals.'

Chelshia

Chelshia continually implies that she wants to eat Anchovy, which the slime girl finds understandably upsetting. During their first meeting, Chelshia declares that she intends to 'keep' Anchovy, for snacking. After her defeat, though, Anchovy grudgingly begins to open up to Chelshia venting to her about the hardships of life as a pizza.

Trivia
Anchovy is named for a family of small fish, which are often used in jokes as a niche topping on pizza that most people find unappealing.
