Malevolent Dark Cat

:For the Cat Unit, see Brainwashed Axe Cat. For the weaker boss, see Wicked Axe Cat.
Malevolent Dark Cat is an Aku enemy that appears in The Malevolent Axe.
==Enemy==
This durable and somewhat fast enemy boasts very high DPS and rapid attacks at 360 range. Its Curse ability makes sure nothing stands a chance, and when it reaches 34% health, it Strengthens by 100%. Its very high health is essentially doubled by a Shield that blocks status effects and regenerates for every knockback. These completely sweep its Counter-Surge under the carpet.
==Strategy==
Malevolent Dark Cat's very high DPS and Curse ability means the only consistent meatshield to use would be Maize Cat due to its high HP, Curse Immunity, and Resistance to Aku threats.
To block his progress, talented Nymph Cat can knockback Malevolent Dark Cat, giving you some breathing room. Esoteric Uril brings excellent DPS and slow debuffs, but you will have to be careful of Malevolent Dark's Counter-Surge and Shield. Dark Phono is also an excellent attacker and debuffer, though he may have some of Uril's problems- but at less risk, due to the former's high range and weaker Mini Surges.
For extra strategies, see Hyperberserker.
==Encounters==
This enemy has always appeared at 100% strength magnification.
