Head Hathy

* Battle
* Spare
* Hurt

Although stronger than Hathy, seems to have fewer friends.

**Head Hathy** is a Darkner enemy in Card Kingdom, that are encountered in the Card Castle. It is the Card Castle variant of Hathy, and has a blue color palette.

## Profile

### Appearance

Head Hathies look identical to regular Hathies but instead of a full row of teeth, it has a single fang. It has a blue color scheme.

### Personality

Head Hathies are better at their job than their regular counterpart, as they try to hide their feelings and focus on fighting. They are still unsuccessful at this, as they are still under the influence of flirting even if it takes more effort than a regular Hathy.

## In Battle

### Attacks

* Spawns a large ring of hearts that rapidly get smaller. This attack gets used when multiple Head Hathies are present.
* Spawns a large heart that spins and stops. Then the heart rapidly moves forward, where the tip of the heart is pointing. This attack gets used by a lone Head Hathy. Unlike a similar attack used by Hathy, this attack is not restricted to pointing in cardinal directions.

### Strategy

* Kris can flirt with Head Hathy, allowing it to be spared.
* The first two times the X-Flirt ACT is ever used (in any battle), the targeted Head Hathy runs away. Subsequent uses make all Head Hathies spareable (Susie does not participate and Kris does so themselves, but it still takes up Susie's turn).
* If a Head Hathy is spared 10 times, it becomes spareable.
* If a Head Hathy is reduced to 63 HP or lower, it becomes Tired, allowing Ralsei to Pacify it.

## Trivia

* Cut dialogue reveals that the Head Hathy can originally be encountered as a single enemy, rather than a trio in the final release.
* The first time Kris attempts to X-Flirt with Susie, one Head Hathy becomes uncomfortable and leaves.
	+ Next time it is attempted, Susie makes Ralsei do it instead, resulting in the same outcome.
	+ The third time it is attempted, Susie makes Kris flirt instead, and it successfully allows for all Head Hathys to be spared.
	+ In subsequent X-Flirts, Kris performs the action alone (this still uses up Susie's turn).
