## Bestiary

### Appearance

#### *Hylics*

Gibby is a throne-bound humanoid with a yellow, spherical head, distinctive cheekbones, and a green mohawk. His outfit appears to be identical to that of most humanoid NPCs, their colors being a mix of silver/white and orange. In combat, Gibby is supported by two shapeless, vaguely tower-looking statues (Eerie Statue,Vital Statue) that waft ancient odors at the gang and restore HP to him.

#### *Hylics 2*

Gibby undergoes a drastic change in the sequel, deserting any semblance of his previous design and instead gaining two, new forms: Gibby Redivivus and Lord Gibby.

Gibby's head (in both forms) still retains his distinctive, circular shape, however, it's been transformed to be flat and disk-like — his yellow color was substituted to platinum silver, and his new face is permanently etched into a sinister and uneasy expression. His green mohawk is now gone, instead, it's replaced with a yellow, crescent crown that shows some resemblance to Wayne and Poolmen.

Gibby Redivivus, although retaining a human-like form, is revealed to be more grotesque and pliable, as demonstrated when he emerges from his imprisoned coffin. Giving up his previous outfit, he instead is equipped with silver pieces of plated/brace armor that cover his shoulders, chest, wrists, knees, and ankles. Red, meat-like skin is displayed in the areas uncovered by his fragmented plating. Despite everything about his new look being gnarled and fleshy, the most normal piece from his outfit is his red high-heeled boots and gloves. Gibby's battle animation in this form has him standing in place, holding himself together.

In his final form, Lord Gibby abandons all semblance of keeping his humanoid likeliness — his flesh (now discolored into a pinkish hue) has been broken into fragments that hover and rotate, giving the impression that he has grown exceedingly larger in size. His hands and feet in this form have become the most animated and human-like out of all his other limbs, now enlarged and pale to distinguish themselves from the rest of his disfigured body. Gibby's battle animation in this form has him strutting toward Wayne and the crew in a menacing fashion.

### Personality

#### *Hylics*

Before Gibby fights Wayne, he is shown to be haughty and speaks with a slight Shakespearean twist, however, some of his limited dialogue also exhibits instances of generating random words. After he is defeated, he becomes less formal, even apologizing to Wayne before telling him that he rigged the whole moon to explode.

### Attacks Hylics

* **Gremlin Dance** - Attacks entire party for normal damage and causes Confusion.
* **Rapid Assault** - Deals normal damage to one target at top speed.
* **Flesh Leech** - Deals 2.5x damage against one party member, and heals the user by that much.
* **Cosmic Procession** - Halves party's Flesh.

### Attacks Hylics 2

* **Summon Minion** - Can be used as a reflexive counterattack or a normal attack, summoning one or two Progeny respectively.
* **Killer Trees** - Either deals massive damage to all party members or instantly reduces all party members to 1 Flesh. All Progeny perish after use.
* **Gizzard Spume** [60 dmg] - Deals damage and inflicts Dissolute on one party member.
* **Volatile Product** [60 dmg] - Deals damage and inflicts Burning on one party member.
* **Sharp Fingers** [72 dmg] - Deals damage and inflicts Leaking on one party member.
* **Telescoping Lashes** [72 dmg] - Deals damage and inflicts Poison on one party member.
* **Teardown** [96 dmg] - Deals damage to one party member.

## Strategy

### *Hylics*

Gibby is joined by the Eerie Statue and the Vital Statue in this final battle. The healing capabilities of the Vital Statue in combination with Gibby's high Flesh points can potentially make this battle extremely long for some.

Take down the Statues first, then attack Gibby repeatedly. If you visited the Lab and spent the money on Hot Dogs and Dynamite, using those repeatedly will make you nearly unkillable. It's strongly recommended you visit the Lab first. It's also recommended you die before fighting him, as there is a Crystal right before him, and he is much tougher without depositing all your Meat before fighting him. Doing these 2 things will make him much easier.

### *Hylics 2*

The fight against Lord Gibby can be difficult but is made much easier with proper preparations and a consistent battle strategy. By the end of the game, every garb and gesture will be at your disposal, allowing you many different options for approaching this fight.

##### (With Bombo-Genesis)

The quickest and most effective strategy is to make use of Bombo-Genesis, should you have access to it. If you have taken the time to collect the Sage Tokens for this gesture, the battle against Lord Gibby can be made considerably easier. You may even opt to revolve your entire strategy around Bombo-Genesis, should that appeal to you. Simply ensure your Bombo-Genesis user is attacking first, or avoid using up Will with your faster characters until your Bombo-Genesis user has had time to charge and use the attack. Use your other three characters mainly for support and healing, using Multi-Juices to replenish the lost Will after Bombo-Genesis has been cast. This can be done a few times back-to-back until Gibby is weak enough to finish off quickly with other attacks of your choice. Using this gesture will also demolish any Progeny that are present, meaning that Gibby's Killer Trees will likely not be much of a threat to you. If you would like a more challenging fight, you may want to only use Bombo-Genesis once just to give yourself a little bit of an edge over Gibby without trivializing the fight entirely.

##### (Other Strategies)

If you are choosing to fight without Bombo-Genesis, you will likely have to adopt a slower and more methodical approach to the battle. The safest strategy to employ against Gibby would be a defensive one, with a focus on Status infliction and patience. A good garb to equip for this fight would be the Peptide Bodkins if you have them, as you can use them to frequently poison Gibby with your regular attacks. A riskier, but still viable option would be to use a Cursed Gloves + Link Mollusc user, though they will be very susceptible to Gibby's powerful attacks and may perish quickly if you are not careful.

One of your main goals should be to avoid Lord Gibby's Killer Trees attack, which reduces the party to 1 Flesh. This gesture is made even more dangerous with the addition of the variety of Status Effects that Gibby can inflict upon your team with his various other attacks. Since the damage over time dealt by Status occurs at the beginning of your character's turn, they will perish before they have a chance to heal themselves if left with 1 HP by Killer Trees. If your entire party is affected by damaging Status, Killer Trees effectively functions as an instant-kill attack, making it incredibly dangerous. Thankfully, Gibby's usage of Killer Trees can be somewhat predicted, to an extent. Gibby is much more likely to use the gesture in relation to the amount of Progeny active in the battle. Generally, Killer Trees has a high likeliness of happening if there are 4 or more Progeny on the field, however, there are rare occasions where Gibby will use this gesture when there are 3 or fewer Progeny. As attacking Gibby directly results in him reflexively summoning his minions, the best method to keeping the Progeny numbers low is to avoid direct attacks on Lord Gibby as much as possible. Try to inflict Gibby with as many damaging Status Effects as possible, and the passive damage will rack up on him quite quickly. As he is receiving damage over time, you can focus your efforts on any existing Progeny so that you can keep too many of them from racking up. This is useful not only for reducing the likeliness of Killer Trees but also for preventing the Progeny from healing Gibby or attacking you too much. While the Progeny numbers are low, you can take the time to heal off any status, recover your flesh, and apply Defending or Foamed to keep your crew strong.

Though it can take some patience, this strategy is effective at keeping your team alive and reducing the risks brought about by high Progeny numbers. When Gibby has no or very few active Progeny, you can take the chance to reapply any status or deal some direct damage (an ideal attack would be a Charged Lightning from Pongorma, as this will also apply Burning in addition to the high damage). Once Gibby's Flesh drops to about 100-200 or less, you can start to attack him more directly with your strongest attacks until he is defeated. The Progeny does not disappear upon Gibby's defeat, so you will need to pick off his remaining minions to end the battle.

## Trivia

* Gibby's name is a reference to the gibbous moon (also known as the waxing moon).
* In the bar where Wayne and the gang form a band, an NPC that looks like Gibby without the mohawk can be seen dancing.
* His files in Hylics 2 call him Fuller, his original name.
* Gibby's drastic change in appearance between Hylics and Hylics 2 is likely due the design originally belonging to a different character named Fuller. The design would be repurposed for Gibby after story changes during Hylics 2's development.
* The small Wayne on Gibby's head in his Hylics 2 design is actually the Poolman's head taken directly from its own model.
* It's possible that the mohawk on Gibby's head in the first Hylics represents a solar eclipse, with the mohawk being the sun peeking out from behind Gibby.
* The silhouette of Gibby's head in Hylics 2 resembles the Horned God from Wiccan culture, which is most likely a coincidence due to borrowing from the Poolman design.
