Giant Scribble Monster

Giant Scribble Monster is created by Circi in a failed attempt to bring back Wilfre. The Artifacts of Power form the Bad Mannequin that Circi tries to draw Wilfre's likeness onto, but keeps messing up, until the Giant Scribble Monster interrupts her. 
In the battle that you start fighting the Bad Mannequin on the rooftop of Village Hall as Shadow floods the town. The Mannequin doesn't put up much of a fight and instead avoids you, but the Giant Scribble Monster rises and attacks emerging from the dark ooze submerging the town.
== Appearance ==
The Giant Scribble Monster is a giant mess of black scribbles that take the form of a giant blob with eyes and a mouth. During its attacks, it can be seen with two arms extending out from its sides. It can only be seen when it rises above the layer of Shadow that has engulfed Rapoville.
== Battle ==
The battle begins with the Bad Mannequin rising from the shadow, and shortly afterwards, the Crystal Mask detaches from the body and flies around the map. While the mask is floating around, the Giant Scribble Monster will arise from the Shadow and try to attack the Hero by roaring and flailing its arms. To progress the fight, the Hero must attack the head 3 times.
Then, the head flies back to the mannequin and the hero must ground pound the completed mannequin a total of 25 times. However, the mask will periodically detach itself from the mannequin and begin to fly around once more, where it will need to be hit 3 more times. Throughout the battle, Mari can be found on the roof of the Town Hall, and occasionally, she will provide the Hero with a Heart that can fully restore his health.
After the mannequin is defeated, it will slowly rise up into the air as the Shadow dissipates from the village below. It eventually explodes, and the town then throws a celebration.
== Trivia ==
* As revealed in a package from Ken Capelli, the Giant Scribble Monster and the Bad Mannequin were designed by Concept Artist Winona Nelson.
* The Giant Scribble Monster itself is never actually fought. Rather, the Hero is fighting the Bad Mannequin.
* Circi, along with the Giant Scribble Monster, fade away in a cut scene. This could implies the death or combining of Circi and the monster.
** In an unused cutscene, it is revealed that Circi was supposed to be eaten by the Giant Scribble Monster, causing her death.
* Before the fight begins and while the mask is detached, the mannequin acts similarly to a gorilla, leaning its weight on its arms and looks from side to side.
* The Bad Mannequin is called "scribble_boss_fetish" in the game's files.
* When the player collects the Branches from the Tree of Ages, there are only two. However, the Bad Mannequin is made up of 6 branches in total.
* According to the Game Design Document and unused sequences in the games files, the Giant Scribble Monster was intended to destroy the credits, much like Hades in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The reason this idea was scrapped is unknown, but it may be due to time constraints.
* According to an internal email, the Giant Scribble Monster could have possible had a health bar similar to the Action Drawing ink meter, though this was never implemented.
* Instead of exploding, the Bad Mannequin was originally going to crumble into pieces, including Wilfre's Journal and a jar of Wilfre's Bad Ink. The reason this animation goes unused is unknown.
