==Strategy/Usage==
Maize Cat is an extremely useful specialist meatshield, sharing many similarities with Ramen Cat, its Anti-Angel equivalent. A level 30 Maize Cat has 74.8k effective health against Relic and Aku, with further boosts against Colossal threats of these traits like Zero Luza and Omens. It also has immunity to curse and freeze, which actually improves its potency as a meatshield quite a lot as a surprising number of Relic and Aku enemies have the freeze ability, while curse immunity is obviously important for any short ranged anti-Relic unit. The main difference in usage between Maize Cat and Ramen Cat is that its high speed makes it easier to protect distant units, but it can't maintain a thick line of defense and therefore cannot be your only source of protection, even with the help of Cat Combos such as Biohazard and Bony Bone as they'll all just rush forward, whereas the likes of Future Cat don't tend to wander far. 
The main downside to Maize Cat is its hefty cost of 375, which is quite high for a spammable meatshield. This doesn't necessarily make it a cash drain, but spamming it may make it harder to save money for more expensive cats. It also lacks immunity to surges and status effects, which makes it vulnerable to Aku threats in general and the likes of M.Ost. All in all, Maize Cat is a very potent meatshield against its targeted traits and can also be used effectively as a generalist, making it a welcome addition to your team.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A white ear of corn with gray leaves and a cat face on it. Attacks by spinning, releasing multiple kernels.
*Evolved Form: Same as Normal, but also wears an orange traffic cone with white stripes. Attack animation remains the same.
==Trivia==
*Maize Cat's evolution into Cone Cat may play off of the fact that cone sounds very similar to corn, especially when pronounced in Japanese, as well as the fact that corn byproducts in real life can be processed for further applications, sometimes replacing plastic items for environmental concerns.
