Twisted Scavenger

The **Twisted Scavenger**s are Special Boss monsters added in the *Hidden Realms Update*. They are also known as **Lunar Scavengers**.

They collectively serve as the boss of , but only one randomly chosen Twisted Scavenger appears each time. There are 4 Twisted Scavengers, each sharing their skills with regular . However, each has their own preset list of items and equipment to spawn with, including one lunar item/equipment.

Upon killing the Twisted Scavenger and opening its sack, it drops  **10**. After a while, the screen will black out, ending the run.

## Kipkip the Gentle

 Armor | 20

Kipkip has the following items:

* 3
* 5
* 10
* 2
* 4
* 3
* 1
* 1

If the player lacks sufficient and consistent damage, it is possible to become soft-locked against Kipkip due to the healing synergy of its items, especially its .

## Wipwip the Wild

 Armor | 20

Wipwip has the following items:

* 3
* 3
* 3
* 2
* 2
* 1
* 1

Wipwip also boasts unique stats compared to the other Twisted Scavengers, having reduced damage and vastly increased health to compensate for his . Since the Thqwibs activate on-kill effect, the player should be extremely careful of the attack as the area-of-effect of Will-o'-the-wisp and Brilliant Behemoth can be devastating even if the original attack has been evaded.

## Twiptwip the Devotee

 Armor | 20

Twiptwip has the following items:

* 3
* 3
* 3
* 2
* 2
* 1
* 1

Similar to Wipwip the Wild players should be very cautious of Thqwibs because of Gasoline. The additional synergy of Soulbound Catalyst and Fuel Cells means Twiptwip will be able to activate its equipment fairly regularly.

There is a bug experienced that stops players from getting their Lunar Coins involving the Glowing Meteorite; more needs to be looked into.

## Guragura the Lucky

 Armor | 20

Guragura has the following items:

* 3
* 3
* 3
* 2
* 1
* 1
* 1
* 1
* 1

Since its shotgun attack has a proc coefficient of 2.0, players should be extremely careful of getting hit by it, as the Tri-Tip Dagger stacks in conjunction with the 57 Leaf Clover means there is an 84% chance of being inflicted with , which will also last twice the normal duration.

Getting hit directly by Thqwibs is sufficient to proc the bands.

## Notes

* Since the equipment held by all Twisted Scavengers can be dangerous, especially , players should stay at least 80m away when their health has dropped below 75% health to prevent the equipment from being activated.

## Trivia
