## In the series

### *CRiTORA: abnormal*

Lancer was one of the CRiTORA that was sent to the Abnormal District during the Infestation Invasion. He debuted in *Chapter 1*, where he briefly argued with Isaac after nearly being shot by one of the latter's gunshots. After Lancer learned who Isaac really was, he immediately became much friendlier, and agreed to team up with Isaac to escape the district. Later on, they would encounter Kepler, Filmore, Caroline and Suk-ban, and the six worked together to defeat a swarm of defective ViRUSES before setting off to find other survivors.

## Relationships

* **Candace Transportool** - Lancer enjoys the air conditioning inside Candace. However, he hated being inside V-Candace, which infected him and turned him into broccoli. Lancer would write a note not to ride V-Candace again in *Chapter 9 - Astronomic Threat*. It seems like he prefers riding Filmore and Robin over Candace.
* **Filmore Hillton** - Lancer enjoys riding inside Filmore and hearing his stories.
* **Isaac X-Beetle** - Lancer is a big fan of Isaac's live streams and was delighted to work with his idol to escape the Abnormal District. Lancer was also concerned for Isaac when he was struck by a lag storm and lagged.
* **Robin Bobbinboat** - Lancer rode Robin alongside Slimy when she offered to take a few CRiTORA with her in *Chapter 9 - Astronomic Threat* due to her being too big to fit inside Filmore or Candace at the time. Despite Robin being less reliable, Lancer enjoyed riding them.

## Trivia

* Although Lancer's existence dates back to the first version of *CRiTORA: abnormal,* which he was intended to appear in, he was not officially revealed until after the reboot's debut.
* He is the first CRiTORA in LastyGhost's New Generation of CRiTORA.
* In LastyGhost's elements system, Lancer is of the Electric element.
* His previous designs closely resembled a Thrash Machine from *Deltarune*, specifically the one LastyGhost created during her playthrough of *Deltarune: Chapter 1*. He was redesigned midway through 2023 to have a more original design while retaining his inspiration.
* His infected form was designed by Daydreaming Birdie and resembles broccoli.
	+ Ironically, Lancer hates broccoli, as he notes in *Chapter 9* after being infected by V-Candace.

### Design origins

Lancer is based on LastyGhost's Thrash Machine from the only time she played *Deltarune: Chapter 1*.

### Name origins

His first name is derived from *Laser*, referring to the head part of the Thrash Machine. Their last name comes from *Rotate* and *Sneak*, referring to the shapes of his torso and feet.

### Design changes

With Abnormal's reboot announced and in accordance with LastyGhost's art style starting Late 2022, Lancer's design was given more details to further differentiate it from the Thrash Machine.

In mid-2023, Lancer's design was greatly simplified and slimmed down to make him more original, while still retaining the inspiration from the Thrash Machine.
