## Description

**Omega Pump Quinn - Mutant Quantum Aberration**

A vegetal colossus drunk on rage and hungry for fresh flesh, the *Omega* version of Pump Quinn is a category 3 parallel quantum alteration. In layman's terms, it's not the same Pump you'd find following Death around like a lapdog. This is an intruder, created by a temporal rift, originating from a time when ... Pump must certainly be a lot more passionate and, just like the Sorrows, is not too keen on their boss's influence over their work. Basically, if you want to protect against any harmful production effects, a good strategy when dealing with a quantum anomaly is to leave it to the professionals.

The *Omega* version of Pump Quinn is not the only quantum aberration that has been noticed at the company. It's not 100% confirmed, but it would seem the Sorrow known as "Maxxx" has all the markings of a category 1 quantum distortion phenomenon. According to Orville's analyses, the theory that *Maxxx* is an agglomeration of all the personalities of the employees closest to Death trapped inside a single corporal envelope is not all that far-fetched. Unfortunately, to Orville's great dismay, there is not enough money in the budget to do any in-depth research on the project right now.

— Hey kid, your bro's getting worked up ... Do you think he'd like to come and hand out some flyers with us at the next protest?

— Erm, Jerry! That's not my brother! Orvie's already explained it to you once, but since you're still bugging me about it ... It's a version of me, but it's *not* me! Evil Pump's from another dimension, that's why we call them Omega.

— Yeah, alright, whatever, that's all and good, but we still have to fight for our rights. Besides, time travel, well ... What a load of bull, eh.

— You know, maybe ... There's a version of you, an Omega Jerry, if you will, that hates koffee and votes conservative.

— No way, impossible. The entire universe would collapse.

## Appearance

Omega Pump Quinn has the appearance of a large pumpkin with thorny vines and bulbous growths along the back of the pumpkin. While not as visible, Omega Pump Quinn also wears black pants and shoes.

## Mini-Boss Battle Attacks

* **Thorn Punch:** Omega Pump Quinn will briefly reel backwards before punching forward.

* **Spiky Slam:** Omega Pump Quinn grows a large arm and fist out of the ground, and after a brief moment, slams it down onto the ground. The arms and fist can deal damage before it slams down as well along with a brief moment after.

* **Thorny Vines:** Omega Pump Quinn stands still, and sends out vines in a direction along the ground.

* **Climbing Crash:** Omega Pump Quinn creates a large vine and rides it as it grows. Once at the top, Omega Pump Quinn jumps off and slams into the middle of the stage, sending vines out across the ground.

* **Pumpkin Bombs:** Omega Pump Quinn spits out two seeds, which grow into pumpkins where they hit the ground. They will explode if the player hits them with a weapon, otherwise they will disappear after a short time.

## Strategy

Being one of the first mini-boss fights, Omega Pump Quinn's fight consists of dashing to avoid attacks and being in the air for ones that cannot be avoided by dashing.

Omega Pump Quinn's punch, slam attack, and vines can all be dodged by either getting far enough away or dashing through Omega Pump Quinn's body to dodge them.

During the crash attack, staying in the air after the vines are sent out by doing aerial attacks makes sure the player doesn't get hit until they disappear.
