Big Enormous

Big Enormous is a mini-boss and a high-ranking member of The Petty Thugs, first fought in The Wilted Lands of Homeflower alongside DeeDee and Johnny Knives. He seems calmer and more down-to-earth than the other Petty Thugs members, and tends to use support moves rather than attack himself, he also has the highest health out of the trio of him, DeeDee, and Johnny Knives, effectively making him the "Tank" of the three.

When the player first enters The Wilted Lands, they will have the opportunity to pull Big Enormous out of bed with the Goon form, which will piss him off. If you talk to him again, he will attack you on his own. Doing this will keep him out of the fight with the other Thugs, making that fight significantly easier.

* Big Enormous will crank up his boombox, giving him and all of his allies the Motivated status for three turns.

### Rematch

Big Enormous may be fought again at Blue Staff River in Sweet Melody alongside his boss, Punch Tanaka, and one of his previous allies in battle. Who the player fights in this battle is determined by which direction they go in to chase the Thugs when they split up. Going north will take Johnny Knives out of the fight, going east will take DeeDee out of the fight, and going south will take Big Enormous out of the fight. If Big Enormous is fought in this second battle, he will have boosted stats, as well as one additional move.
