==Strategy/Usage==
===Normal/Evolved Form===
Skull Rider Vars targets Aliens and Zombies. His matchup against Aliens is somewhat questionable, as while he can destroy their barriers to inflict status effects, he can sometimes cause your melee units to inadvertently advance within range of baclkiners like Elder Sloth and Spacefish Jones, though he has no trouble against melee aliens in general. Against Zombies, Skull Rider Vars does it much better, as many zombies tend to have very low range, and his knockback effect can stop them from burrowing while his Zombie Killer ability allows him to finish them off. His stats are also decent enough to absorb a couple of hits, but keep in mind his knockback can also push zombies that survive his attack into your other units.
===True Form===
Halloween Knight Vars now has a 100% chance to slow/knockback Alien and Zombie enemies, which significantly improves his consistency by giving your other units much bigger windows of opportunity. Although backliners tend to pose a threat from time to time, this tends be a minor issue. The True Form's low cost and benefits far outweigh its only notable drawback, making it a worthy addition.

==Catfruit Evolution==
==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A cat wearing a pumpkin, his face peeking out. rides a pale white skeletal wyvern and holds a trident-like spear similar to the dragon's tail.
*Evolved Form: The cat now covers his face, and the spear is now single-tipped. The wyvern is darker and has a scary face embedded in its chest as well as large horns.
*True Form: Now in full color, Vars now has a red-and-orange shield, orange armor and a blue spear, while his wyvern turns a mix of greens and blues, with orange accents. The wyvern, the face on its chest and the skulls on its wings all have red eyes.
==Trivia==
*Skull Rider Vars is the first seasonal variant of a Dragon Emperor.
*Given Dragon King Vars's dragon's resemblance to Diablos from the Monster Hunter series, Nightmare King Vars's is likely based on the Black Diablos subspecies.
