Evil Cat (Rare Cat)

:This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy, see Gentleman Bros. (Enemy).
Evil Cat is a Rare Cat that was added in Version 2.1.2 and can be unlocked by chance when beating any stage in Ritual Happiness. This unit is a variant of Zombie Cat that freezes Red enemies instead of being strong against them. True Form decreases its cost, gains Barrier Breaker and increases its chance to stop Red enemies. In The Battle Cats POP! it can be obtained when rolling in the gacha system.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Gentleman Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Gentleman Bros. when obtained from Evil Cat Awakes! (may be dropped on the first stage but guaranteed on the second stage) and is level 20 or above.
==Performance==
+ 20% chance to freeze Red enemies for 2 seconds (40% chance in True Form)
+ 30% chance to break Barriers [True]
===Pros===
*Moderate health
*Low cost [True]
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Low range
*Slow movement speed
*High cost [Normal, Evolved]
*Low attack power
==Strategy/Usage==
High cost and low stats prevent him from being viable prior to true form. However, should you have Lesser Demon Cat, you could find use in their combo Speak Of The Devil in Li'l and Stories of Legend stages.
===True Form===
Gentleman Bros is significantly better in terms of stacking them to permafreeze Red enemies. However, his bad stats, horrible range, low freeze chance, and single target prevent him from being useful, as he is outclassed by better anti-red Cats, such as Apple Cat, and Witch Cat.
Gentleman Bros. can be used against Starred Aliens with Barriers due to its Barrier Breaker ability, but beware of its low health, lower range and inability to freeze Aliens. There are much better options, though he may help in certain Cats of the Cosmos Restriction Stages.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Wears a red demonic oni mask of the variety parents and other caregivers wear during Setsubun, a Japanese festival where small children chase the "demon" down by pelting it with soybeans. This cat is also clad in straw and dual-wields knives. It attacks by slicing the enemy.
*Evolved Form: Is a bit taller and has lost the mask in favour of a suspicious yellow trench coat of the type synonymous with flashers. Attacks by exposing himself to the enemy. Thankfully there is nothing much to show.
*True Form: Looks very similar to the evolved form whilst moving, but to attack, opens his trench coat to expose a stack of a Cat and Tank Cat atop one another.

==Trivia==
*The unusual Japanese name for Evil Cat references the title of Natsume Sōseki's famous novel I Am a Cat. The personal pronoun employed in the title is deemed pompous and almost exclusively used in 'cat speech' in the modern era.
*Evil Cat's appearance and Japanese description reference the mamemaki (豆撒き, bean scattering) tradition of Setsubun where roasted soybeans are thrown at a family member wearing an oni mask.
*This is one of the few cats that becomes cheaper when its True Form is unlocked.
*The first form's attack animation is similar to Zombie Cat's, albeit with the arms being swung to the ground and the head shaking.
*Evil Cat's English description has an error, with two thes in a row. "Hides his weakness by wearing the the mask of the demon."
