*"MFW Lich is like 'HAAIIII WHATCHA DOOOIN' and I'm like 'IM SLEEPING, LICH, GO AWAY'"*- Bob The Necromancer

**The Black Lich** is one of Bob's minions, shown below The Big Plague and above Flying Squid, that wears an old black cloak, has the ability to float in the air and shoot small green Energy Balls of Doom. The Black Lich also works in the Arcane Laboratory.

He is based on the fictional creature called a Lich.

Hell's brightest mind, the most potent evil wizard the underworld has ever seen, his power is near infinite; but everything comes at a price, tuition in hell is ab-so-lu-te-ly bonkers.

Based on Lich's quote from Ice Cream, You Scream event. Lich created time portals that the player uses to reset progress.

To access The Black Lich The Big Plague must be present.

## Trivia

* The Lich has a crush on the Succubus (Devil Deal), but don't tell anyone.
	+ In the title screen of Bob's Special Day Event, he is the only minion that looks at Succubus and Carl standing together, while frowning. The frown can be his default facial expression, though.

* It can be concluded from the skills *Lunch Money*, *Small-time Bullying* and *Intimidator* that The Black Lich is a bully from school. The Lich has also an urban slang according to the quotes.
* The quote "*Hey! Listen!*" refers to the fairy Navi of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. She is known to be one of the most annoying characters in video game history.
* The quotes *"We will be in touch"* and *"Remember... we will be watching"* may be references to *XCOM: Enemy Unknown*; both lines are used by the Council Spokesman at the end of monthly debriefings.
