## Appearances

### *Stikman Scratch*

Bootrap are common enemies that appear in several different levels in *Stikman Scratch*. There is one in Tourmaline Outlook, another one in Downfall Peak, two in Hardened Outcove, and three in Bridge to the Jungle. The four Bootrap in Mount Madeline are Madelian Bootrap, while the three in the Deep Jungle of Esmara are Esmaran Bootrap.

### *Stikman's Legend*

Bootrap appear in multiple locations, dependent on how far the player is in *Stikman's Legend*'s story. When a Bootrap is within a 200 pixel range of the player, an exclamation mark will appear above them, and will soon after start chasing the player. The Bootrap Mage summons Bootrap as an attack during their boss fight.

After Handboss is defeated:

* Two Bootrap spawn near the Golden Boulder closest to the Handboss arena.
* Two spawn in front of the boulder blocking the magma chamber.
* Two spawn in the magma chamber.

After the Bootrap Mage is talked to for the first time:

* Two Bootrap spawn where the boulder blocking the magma chamber was.
* Two spawn near where the Golden Boulder closest to the Handboss arena was.
* One spawns to the right of the player's original spawn point.
* One spawns to the left of the boulder blocking access to the Map.
* Two spawn in the south-most body of water north to the Map.

### *Stikman Adventures*

Bootrap are to appear in *Stikman Adventures* as enemies, and will presumably be located in Mount Madeline and the Deep Jungle of Esmara. They are also summoned by the Bootrap Mage, similar to *Stikman's Legend*.
