Loox

**Loox** (/ˈluːks/) is a monster encountered in the Ruins. His Hard Mode and CORE counterpart is Astigmatism.

## Profile

### Appearance

Loox is bipedal and has two horns on the top of his head, a large eye on his face, and teeth under his eye.

### Personality

Loox does not like it when people pick on him, though is also a bit hypocritical in that he also picks on other people (as suggested by flavor text when encountering a Loox and another enemy.) His description in the True Pacifist Ending Credits implies that he is less of a bully, and a "reformed bully" if the protagonist does not pick on him.

## In Battle

### Appears With

* Loox
* Vegetoid
* Migosp

### Attacks

* Loox makes three small spheres appear from either side of the Bullet Board, which move and bounce around the board while slowly gaining speed.
	+ After Picking On, five spheres will appear instead of 3 and will be faster than normal.
* Loox makes several small sphere-worms appear from either side of the Bullet Board, which wiggle their way forward and disappear when hitting the edge of the Bullet Board.
	+ After Picking On, these sphere-worms become more abundant and will be faster than normal.

### Strategy

* Choosing "Don't Pick On" allows the protagonist to spare this monster.
* Picking on him does not allow the protagonist to spare him, but it awards five extra EXP. Before the latest patch, this would stack infinitely, allowing thousands of EXP to be gained from a single kill. However, it now only stacks up to 3, allowing a maximum of 22 EXP. This can be used to get extra EXP and thus making upcoming battles easier.
	+ However, when picking on Loox, his attacks become intense, making the battle harder.

## Trivia

* "Loox" is a corruption of *looks*. Both his first and last names allude to his single prominent eye. His full name, Loox Eyewalker, is a pun that references Luke Skywalker, a prominent character from the *Star Wars* franchise.
* Loox's quote "Please don't pick on me" may be a reference to the Pumpkin-Head Ghost boss from the game *Monster Party*, who says this exact quote immediately before attacking.
* A Loox replaces the Boss Monster next to the human in the Undertale Demo intro sequence and the intro played before Photoshop Flowey's battle.
* His appearance resembles Mike Wazowski from *Monsters, Inc.* and the Ahriman from the *Final Fantasy* series.
* There is an NPC in the Snowdin Library that appears to be a female Loox.
