Moonshine Mob

The **Moonshine Mob** serve as minor antagonists in the video game *Cuphead*'s DLC extension, *The Delicious Last Course*. They are a group mobsters consisting of anthropomorphic insects who have been selling illegal alcohol in their secret hideout before getting caught by the police and then encountering Cuphead/Mugman/Ms. Chalice whom they would engage in battle with along with the cops to protect their Distillery Dough.

## What Makes Them Magnificent?

* They cleverly set up a secret hideout where they were able to sell off alcohol illegally.
* Charlie Left Legs pulls off a crafty stunt in the fight by calling in the flies to fight the cups and the cops before having bombs tied up in his webs drop down in order to take them out while also bringing in caterpillars whom he'd kick to get them to roll up in circles to also take them out in a different way, keeping the player on their toes through doing this as well with the flies themselves doing a good job at this too, attacking the player while Charlie Left Legs launches his moves.
* The Light Bug also brings in tricks of her own to try to take out the player while keeping them on their toes by bringing in a phonograph that shoots rays, some of which can randomly turn to a different color which could take out the player if they are not cautious enough while dancing to the music, seemingly done to seduce the cops which seems to have gone according to plan given that none of the cops are seen attacking her as she dances.
* The Anteater and Snail also pull off a clever stunt to try to take out the player by the Anteater using their tongue to capture all the cops and hurl them in the form of a cartoonish dust ball at the players that bounces up and down.
* Then, in the Anteater and Snail's cleverest trick yet (also known as one of the cleverest tricks in the game), they have a fake "Knockout" sign be dropped down to trick the player into thinking that they've defeated them and should the player drop their guard, the Snail will take them out by blasting at them. This trick is so clever that it caused lots of players to fall for it and die as a result.
* They are seen in the end credits with the Snail shaking hands with a cop, implying that they either redeemed themselves or are bribing or tricking the police.
* While the Snail does flail while holding on to the Anteater for their defeat, not only is this far less undignified than a majority of the other bosses' defeats, but this is very brief and he manages to recover from this as he is seen in the epilogue shaking hands with an officer, showing that he's regained his composure.

## What Makes Them Baddies?

* In contrast to a majority of the bosses in both games who are only fighting the cups to prevent them from taking their soul contracts or ingredients, the Moonshine Mob were pretty much already criminals even prior to encountering the cups in a boss battle, having committed the crime of illegally selling alcohol to make some money in their secret hideout.
* They attack and try to kill the cops and the cups, trying to land hits that cause them to lose lives multiple times.

## Trivia

* They, King Dice, and Chef Saltbaker are the only Magnificent Baddies from the *Cuphead* video games.
