Manipuloid

Manipuloid, The Herder of Crowds, or simply Manipuloid is an Oblicon in the Nest of Oblivion. They are a powerful manipulative force, creating masses of Manipees that storm Visicons.
They are the second Boss a Visicon Warrior will encounter on their journey.

Spawning

Manipuloid spawns at Level 20.
If Manipuloid has been previously defeated, they will spawn instead at Level 10 with 25% probability.

Behavior

Movement

Despite their ability to go through walls, Manipuloid normally pathfinds itself towards the player through the non-walled areas.

Attacks

While not being able to shoot, Manipuloid can do waves of manipulation, where they convert 9 Ghosts into 10 Manipees each, creating 90 Manipees, which then storm towards the player. After doing this manipulation, they open up their shield where weapons that can't go through walls are not able to damage them.

Balbal Information

• Requires 1 Kill: When the Manipuloid's eye looks at a Ghost, they can split its hollow self into many little disciples.
• Requires 8 Kills: After unleashing a wave of such manipulations, the Manipuloid shields itself, while its disciples are doing the fighting.
• Requires 64 Kills: Its power stems from an essence of Yellow Ozstone in its eye, allowing it to rule the herds.
