Kabbu Kabbu (enemy)


Kabbu as an enemy is fought by Vi and Leif during the battle with Kali in her shop in Defiant Root when doing the quest Stolen Item. If Kali is defeated, even if Kabbu is not, the battle will still end, with Kabbu staying in his hit pose while the party receives Exploration Points. If Kabbu is knocked out, Kali will revive Kabbu with 11/Hard Mode9 HP on the next turn. While fighting Kali and Kabbu in the B.O.S.S., Kabbu will be available as a party member, and can Spy himself and Kali, expressing embarrassment at his brief change-of-allegiance and asking to not mention the incident, respectively.

Spy Logs
Bestiary An unfortunate battle caused by very alluring pheromones. Kabbu would prefer it never be spoken of again.
Kabbu ...I can't believe I did that...
Vi You're in big trouble, Kabbu! I'm super mad!...B-But I don't wanna hurt you! I need to think of another way!
Leif Tch. Chemistry be darned. Kali! This trick is beyond despicable! Kabbu's...our friend. We must seek an alternative to this.


Attacks[]

Heavy Strike: Kabbu walks up to a party member and crouches while shaking, then violently knocks them upwards by striking them with his horn, dealing 3 damage.

Under Strike: Kabbu burrows in the ground, slides under a party member, being visible as a pile of pushed up dirt, then bursts out of the ground while spinning with his horn pointed upwards, dealing 4 damage, before landing back into position.

Pebble Toss: Kabbu throws a pebble at an arc towards a party member, dealing 3 damage.

Dash Through: Kabbu walks to the center of the battlefield, backs up a little, then dashes forward through the party quickly while his horn is pointed forward, dealing 3 damage to all party members.

Taunt: Kabbu does a taunting motion, giving a party member the Taunt status effect, which prevents them from using Skills and Items or relaying turns, until the end of the next round. This does not use up Kabbu's turn.

Trivia[]

  • In prerelease material, Leif used to say "Chemistry be damned" when spying him, making this the only instance in where a character swears in the game (albeit mildly).[1]
  • Unlike himself as a party member, or several bosses, including Kali, Kabbu does not perform any animations when being defeated; he simply transitions from his hit pose to his knocked out pose between frames.
  • A similar boss fight was originally supposed to happen in Chapter 5. The fight would've been caused due to Kabbu's PTSD with the Wild Swamplands and thus reluctance to go forward. The entry (presumably Kabbu's and Vi's), had been written for that fight and repurposed for this one.[2]
