**Pyrope** is a mischievous, heat-loving enemy that the protagonist can encounter in Hotland.

## Profile

### Appearance

Pyrope's head appears to be burning with a mischievous smile on his face. His body consists of rope and on the bottom of his body is what appear to be his legs.

### Personality

Pyrope likes heat and never feels warm enough. They get more and more excited when the protagonist cranks up the thermostat.

## In Battle

### Attacks

* Bombs drop into the Bullet Board from all sides. They bounce around and explode when hitting the sides of the Bullet Board.
* Rope with a burning fire travels horizontally from right to left. The fire is orange, which is an example of orange attacks. The protagonist must run through the orange part of the attack to avoid taking damage.

### Strategy

* It may be a good idea to select the Cool Down option first, as this will permanently lower its attack.
* To spare, heat up at least twice, although there is no limit to how many times the protagonist can do this.

## Trivia

* Pyrope's name can be seen as a combination of *pyro* (Greek for *fire*) and *rope*. However, since *pyrope* (from the Greek words for *fire* and *eye*) is also the name of a dark red gemstone in real life, a variety of garnet, it is more likely that Pyrope's appearance is a play on its name rather than the other way around.
	+ Pyrope also shares a name with (and may be referencing) Terezi Pyrope of *Homestuck*, which is a webcomic that Toby Fox produced music for. The entity itself is mischievous and has a grin on its face, so it could be a possible reference to the troll character mentioned above.

* Pyrope is one of the few monsters who rewards more GOLD if the protagonist spares it instead of killing it.
* Pyrope is the only randomly encountered enemy that uses orange attacks.
* Though there is no limit to how many times the protagonist can select the Heat Up ACT, if it is selected enough times, the screen will no longer become more distorted.
