## Gameplay

Dead baby starts with 3 Bone hearts, and above average tear rate and damage stats. He also starts with "Retrieve" Item that let's him spew bones spurs for self defence reasons, despite that those attributes seem strong and don't fit dead baby's characteristics. Jeremy has 2 traits that change a lot. First is that Dead baby shares health conversion mechanic that !!! uses, but Health ups are replaced with bone hearts, which makes the character more frail. **Brittle bones** is dead baby's second trait. This makes the character lose his body parts everytime he gets hit, losing his ribs, arm and jaw. Not having a body parts grants the character a debuff. The player needs to use retrieve to collect all body parts back, this also means while the player doesn't have body parts he cannot use bone spew ability of the item. Making the character even weaker. Every body part grants a debuff if not collected. The jaw will half the character's tear rate. Ribs will grant a disability to hold trinkets and steal the character's collected pick ups, collecting ribs back will give back lost pick ups. Lack of hand will make the character unable to use cards and active item, as well as grant -0.20 speed down. Collecting back a body part will remove it's respective debuff, and having all body parts will give back the bone spew mechanic.

### Challenge reward

After defeating the challenge, you unlock the character's item, Retrieve. This has a completely different effect outside the challenge. Holding the item grants the player dead baby as a second player that you can control and hold in place like Esau, Using the item while nearby Dead baby let's you throw him, thrown dead baby deals area damage, spawns bone spurs. When dead baby granted by the item gets hit or is thrown and then lands, breaks and spawns his body parts, that don't grant debuffs to isaac, but you still need to collect them in order to get dead baby back.

## Trivia

* Dead baby was originally only one of custom costumes for red baby character. wons, one of the devs of red baby mod liked the idea of red baby looking like skeleton that much he turned dead baby into a challenge character.

* Dead baby is one of few babies that have actual human name (Jeremy) alongside with his bully, Well Done Baby (Gomez).

* In red baby mod, you can unlock an item called "...'s spine". Which grants a tear effect that traps enemies in bone traps. This item is unlocked by defeating the beast boss as tainted red baby.
	+ Even though it may seem that unlock condition seems unfitting. It's a nod to the fact that back in development of red baby mod, tainted red baby's gimmick was supposed to revolve around bone traps before it was decided to make the character themed around pee.
