Croakley

Croakley (ケロ助, Kerosuke) is a Traitless enemy that appears in Legend Stages.
==Enemy==
Croakley is durable, has slow movement speed and a Long Distance attack with expansive reach. His damage is not that strong, but it is guaranteed to slow all cats for a minute, which may as well be certain death for units that aren't immune. To compensate for a debuff of this caliber, Croakley has a massive blind spot and his standing range is well within it.
==Strategy==
Treat this enemy like Queen B, but with lower damage and a longer slow. If Croakley is alone, even the weakest of cats can defeat him. If he's paired with a more powerful enemy (like The Face or Berserkory in his debut stage), then Wave Attacks, Surge Attacks or Long Distance attacks can be used to pick him off from a safe distance. When not protected, most units can simply enter the blind spot without much timing.
DO NOT give units the Resist Slow Talent solely to counter him, as Croakley's slow has 100% uptime even against slow-resistant cats. Slow Immunity, on the other hand, is a very useful asset against him.

==Trivia==
*His Japanese name, Kerosuke, is a combination of kero, the Japanese onomatopeia for a frog's ribbit, and suke, a common suffix in masculine Japanese names.
*The line, "He's got guts" (ド根性の持ち主) in his Japanese description may be a reference to the manga The Gutsy Frog (ど根性ガエル).
*His Japanese description calls him a geko (下戸), meaning someone who can't or doesn't like to drink alcohol. The joke is that it sounds like げこっ geko, meaning croak.
**This same joke would later be used as Ribbo's Japanese namesake, Gekokku.
*Since the Korean language doesn't distinguish between "L" and "R", Croakley's Korean name, Kelolong (케로롱), can also be taken as "Kerorong", which may be a reference to Keroro from Sgt. Frog.
*When he moves, he doesn't actually stay still, instead his sprite moves backwards to make it seem like he is still. This can be seen well if he is slowed. This animation trick is used on various other units that stay still for a bit before moving again, such as Kotatsu Cat.
