Negati

**Negati** are the main enemies in *Balan Wonderworld*. They are summoned by Lance and come in different shapes/forms.

## Information

Negati are manifestations of the worries and weaknesses (Darkness Time) born from the heart of the inhabitant of a world (Chapter.) They stand in the way of Leo and Emma as they journey through the 12 worlds born from the hearts of the inhabitants. They say that inside the depths of these worlds born from the inhabitant's heart, you'll find the inhabitant themselves, possessed by Negati. There are a total of **45** Negati in-game (counting all enemies, mid-bosses, and Nega Bosses.)

Lance is shown to summon Negati, including Guragura, Bangbang, and all the mid-bosses.

A majority of Negati enemies and all of the mid-bosses can be red in Hard Mode, and blue in Easy Mode (more information here.) Mid-bosses have a chance to have a Lanced form during Hard Mode. The difficulty of the Nega Bosses also changes between Hard and Easy Mode, mostly affecting speed.

Negati can be found in every Act, except for all Boss Acts excluding Lance's.

## Appearance

Negati all take the form of a black being with patterns usually running along its body. Negati all wear masks, and can take the form of different things, including animals, plants, and serpents. But a majority of them have a humanoid-like appearance.

## Strategies/Guide

Almost every Negati enemy (and Mid-Boss) can be beat by simply jumping on it. If you do a bunch of jumps/attacks in a short amount of time, you can trigger a combo mode to obtain more Yellow Drops when the Negati are defeated. You can use almost any Costume to defeat Negati. Direct contact with Negati enemies doesn't harm you, but can knock you back. You can only get hurt if the Negati enemy attacks first, or if you come in contact with a Negati with spikes.

Beating a Negati enemy gives you two yellow drops, maximum combo mode beatings gives you two large yellow drops. Mid-bosses and Nega Bosses do not give out drops. Costumes best suited for combo mode are Aero Acrobat and Bullet the Kid.

Strategies for Negati Enemies, Mid-Bosses and Nega Bosses can be found on their respective pages.

## Trivia

* Negati are similar to the Unversed from the Kingdom Hearts Franchise. Both being created from negative emotions and manifest as monsters.
* Confirmed by all the mid-bosses english names, unused dialogue mentioning Negati named "Defensi" and "Cowardli," and Ghostli, English Negati names contain either a "Li-" or "I-" suffix at the end of their names. Though, the rest of the Negati enemies do not have officially shown english names.
	+ English Nega Bosses names are exempt from this naming system, and are named to be easy for an English audience to understand.
	+ "Cowardli" may have been Kosokoso, while "Defensi" might have been Gachigachi.
* Negati enemies are left unnamed, in both the novel and game, though their names can be found in the internal files.
	+ The internal file names, and Japanese names for all the Negati mid-bosses and enemies are based off of Japanese onomatopoeia/phrases relating to the specific Negati. (Eg. Kurukuru,「くるくる」)
	+ The Japanese/internal files names of the Negati enemies are also uttered by some Negati while being fought. (eg. "Gachigachi!" while fighting a Gachigachi)
* Negati make various noises, including squeaky and monstrous noises depending on what they are:
	+ Nega Bosses make unique, monstrous noises.
	+ Mid-Bosses make squeaky noises. Their names being uttered can not be heard.
	+ Enemies make squeaky noises, and some make a noise resembling their name.
* Negati have about 5 animations: Idle, Attacking, Confused, Surprised, and Defeated.
	+ The Confused animation occurs when the Negati does not see you
	+ The Surprised animation occurs when the Negati sees you
	+ The Idle animation generally occurs when far away enough from a Negati for it to not see or attack you.
