**Dictiontrap** are enemies in *Stikman's Legend* and *Stikman Adventures*. They are stronger variants of Bootrap in terms of health and speed, and possess teleportation. In *Stikman's Legend*, they appear in the magma chamber during the daytime and in the springs during both day and night. In *Stikman Adventures*, Dictiontrap retain their high stats and ability to teleport, and are found in the Deep Jungle of Esmara.

## Profile

### Appearance

Dictiontrap and Bootrap have a very similar appearance and are the same size. Compared to Bootrap, Dictiontrap's covers are a darker blue, and each one has two spikes.

### Personality

Dictiontrap are straightforward in their dialogue, and do not have many strong feelings. Dictiontrap and Bootrap both freeze in shock before beginning to pursue Stikman when he comes within their detection range.

Dictiontrap are appreciative of the Bootrap Mage and enjoy their company. As evidenced by Stikman's initial meeting with the Bootrap Mage in the magma chamber, Dictiontrap have little faith in the Bootrap.

### Abilities

Dictiontrap in *Stikman's Legend* are stronger than Bootrap and move slightly more quickly. They have the ability to teleport and will do so when attacked. Dictiontrap, like Bootrap, hover just above the surface of water and are unaffected by it.

## Appearances

### *Stikman's Legend*

Dictiontrap are enemies that appear in the magma chamber after beating Handboss in *Stikman's Legend*. They are among the fastest enemies in the game and require several hits to defeat. Dictiontrap, like Bootrap, stop for a moment in shock when Stikman enters their detection range before chasing him. When Dictiontrap are hit, they teleport away from the player character and can appear wherever nearby, including behind him.

Two Dictiontrap appear when Stikman initially encounters the Bootrap Mage and inform them of a rumor that Golden Sticks were discovered in the springs. The Bootrap Mage then warns Stikman that they will take his Golden Sticks the next time they meet. Both Dictiontrap flee, followed by the Bootrap Mage.

Following the encounter with the Bootrap Mage, three more Dictiontrap appear in the springs, two of which will attack Stikman. The third is in the largest pool of water, conversing with the Bootrap Mage regarding the now-debunked rumor. The Dictiontrap flees the scene after the Bootrap Mage challenges Stikman to a battle over his Golden Sticks.

While fighting the Bootrap Mage, they periodically summon Bootrap to attack Stikman. Dictiontrap are summoned instead of Bootrap after the Bootrap Mage's health is reduced to half and they enter their second phase. Only one Dictiontrap will be active at a time; before summoning another, the previous one will be automatically defeated.

Many Dictiontrap spawn in the springs at night, guarding the three Golden Keystones needed to access the magma chamber. They have no significance in the plot and only serve as enemies to attack Stikman.

After beating the Devil Dancers and saving Stike, a Dictiontrap, along with the Bootrap Mage and a Bootrap, can be found in the morning next to the final Golden Boulders. Stikman can talk with this Dictiontrap, who will discuss how nice the Bootrap Mage is and how important they are to the survival of the Bootrap and Dictiontrap.

### *Stikman Adventures*

In *Stikman Adventures*, Dictiontrap retain their higher stats as well as their ability to teleport. However, they will instead be located in the Deep Jungle of Esmara. Nothing more about their in-game role has since been revealed.

## Trivia

* Dictiontrap are the only enemies in *Stikman's Legend* who did not have an official name before the game's release.
* Dictiontrap used to have 25 health and a movement speed of 90 pixels per second in *Stikman's Legend*. However, in version 1.0.1, these values were reduced to 20 health and 75 pixels per second.
* The Dictiontrap was named by Titanic Bee and loga.
* The sound made when a Dictiontrap notices Stikman is a variation of the sound made when attacking with the Torn Notebook in *Undertale*.

### Etymology

The name "Dictiontrap" is a combination of the words "dictionary" and "trap." Dictionaries are large books with a lot of information, which can be compared to how Dictiontrap are stronger variants of standard Bootrap.
