Woshua

Woshua () is a monster that appears in Waterfall. 
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
It appears to be a living bathtub or washing machine with a round head bearing a blank expression, and a small bird sitting in its water-filled body, along with a crank like tail. It resembles a turtle. 
=== Personality ===
Woshua speaks in short sentences and seeks to make everything clean due to it being a hypochondriac. As such, it constantly suggests to the protagonist that they clean themselves, especially before touching it. Its germaphobia goes as far as hating "dirty jokes," and it appears to find Moldbygg a heavily unclean monster that it will flee from the protagonist if they hugged Moldbygg then attempted to touch Woshua.
== In Battle ==
=== Appears With ===
* Aaron
* Moldbygg
=== Attacks ===
* Spiraling patterns of water-drop bullets branch out from the center of the Bullet Board.
** If attacking with other monsters, these bullets are light blue.
* A soap-bar projectile with the word "HOPE" on it moves across and bounces on the sides of the Bullet Board, leaving trails of shining bullets that disappear after a short time.
=== Strategy ===
* The protagonist must ask to be cleaned to spare Woshua. This adds three Healing green bullets to Woshua's water drop attack. If the protagonist allows Woshua to heal them, it becomes pleased with its cleaning and allow the protagonist to spare them.
* If the protagonist chooses the action "Touch" while they are unclean, Woshua rejects this action and attacks the protagonist as normal. If the protagonist is cleaned while trying to touch Woshua, they give it a friendly pat.
* It is also possible to make Woshua flee by hugging Moldbygg, then touching Woshua.
* Telling a joke disgusts Woshua, reducing its attack.

== Trivia ==
* Woshua's name is a combination of wash and the name Joshua. Their name also could be a corruption of "Wash You" (Wash You → Wosh Ya → Woshua)
** Its name can also be derived from the Chinese phrase 我刷 (wǒ shuā), meaning "I brush." Woshua is inspired by OMOCAT, who is a Chinese American.
* Entering the name "Woshua" for the fallen human causes the game to describe it as a "clean name," and allows the name to be used.
* Woshua's face bears a striking resemblance to the MS Paint Adventures logo, home of Homestuck, where Toby Fox contributed as a music producer.
** It also bears resemblance to the sprout moles' faces in OMORI, in which Toby also contributed a piece to.
* The sound that Woshua makes when it is hurt is the same as Flowey's sound when he is being hurt.
* With the exception of the Amalgamates, Woshua is the only monster who displays two different quotes at the same time.
* The flavor text that appears upon joking appears to allude to the story of the fallen human and Asriel.
* The line "Out!!! Darned spot," is a reference to a scene in Shakespeare's Macbeth. In the scene, Lady Macbeth begins to believe that she has a bloodstain on her hand when there is none, and exclaims "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"
* Woshua saying "Scrub a dub-dubs" before correcting to "scrub a sub-SUBS" is a reference to the sub vs. dub debate, one of the oldest debates in anime fandom.
* Woshua is mentioned during Mettaton's news report by the headline saying "WOSHUA CLEANS UP LOCAL CRIME, LITERALLY, FINDS CRIMINALS AND DOUSES THEM IN SOAP, CRIME DOESN'T GO DOWN BUT IT SMELLS AMAZING."
* After completing Waterfall, Woshua appears at the beginning of the Garbage Dump, stating that it is cleaning the trash and sorting it into symmetrical piles – "It's hard work, but somebody has to do it."
* Woshua can also be found in "The War of Humans and Monsters" story hallway, stating that if it could, it would erase the whole world because everything is so dirty: "Ohhhh. Don't get the wrong idea. I don't want anyone to die. People turn to dust when they die, and that's hard to clean up..." If spoken to again, they say, "Don't turn to dust."
* Before version 1.001, Woshua's Stats were "ATK 7 DEF 1."
