**Corpse-a-Copia** is the final boss.

## General Description

Corpse-a-Copia is the last boss the player will face during their run. Its approached will be signaled by a violent screen shake when the player attempts to return to the Helicopter during the Winter Seasonal Festival. As soon as the player takes the Helicopter back to their Farm they will be thrust into Nuclear Winter and Corpse-a-Copia will make its sudden appearance. It is a massive amalgamation of various fruits and vegetables, with bananas for horns, cauliflower for hair, and oranges for eyes, with a kiwi composing its seemingly mystical third eye, as well as hands made from some unknown crop, making for a horrific monstrosity for players to battle and destroy.

## Behavior

Corpse-a-Copia will fly around the player's Farm and will mostly keep away from them. Occasionally, it will launch a fist attack, which is highlighted in a large, rectangular area and always starts out centered on the player. This attack is repeated three or four more times before stopping. It will also lower one of its hands into the player's field, pinching a match between its fingertips. After some time, it will snap its hand, which will begin to light all Crops on fire. This effect comes in a wave, lighting each column of Crops on fire individually before moving onto the next column. Corpse-a-Copia will also sometimes sprinkle some magical dust on the ground, spawning a Demon Veg on the spot, which will fire bullets at the player and rarely detonate in a large area. The boss is also capable of channeling the power of its third eye, during which it will stop moving completely but will spawn large vegetables and croissants that deal contact damage. An increased number of Vegetaskulls will spawn as well, along with Cherry Bombs and Demon Veg Walkers.

### Damaging

Unlike all other Enemies, Corpse-a-Copia can only be damaged by harvesting Crops. Firing a Weapon or using Tractors on it will not deal any damage. Damage dealt is primarily divided along the given tier of the Crop harvested. With some exceptions, typically more valuable Crops correlate to greater damage.

Any other collectables that can be sold for  Cashews can also damage Corpse-a-Copia.

\*Found on a previous version; may have increased in Patch 1.5.3f1 due to increasing the base value of Eggs.

### Difficulty Scaling

The max health of Corpse-a-Copia increases depending on the Year, as well as the frequency of some of their attacks.

## Surplus Mode

*Main article:* Surplus Mode
After Corpse-a-Copia is defeated Surplus Mode will begin, granted players have unlocked it by beating Year 3. Once unlocked the event will begin after any and all Corpse-a-Copia kills. This acts as a short opportunity to utilize leftover farming means and to gain additional score and Cornucopias. During this event, Corpse-a-Copia will become completely harmless, and no attacks or additional Enemies will pursue the player anymore.

## History

## Trivia

* The sprite files for Corpse-a-Copia refer to them as "VegBalrog". This is likely a reference to a Balrog from *The Lord of the Rings* by J. R. R. Tolkien.
