Ketchup Drop

#Overview

The Ketchup Drop is a tier-1 pest of Ketchup Bog and Mash Swamp, sharing the tier with the Bog Slime in both. Tier 1 makes up most spawns in the opening minutes and leaves the wave table after minute 6; with Normal's two-minute tier lag that means up to about 8:59.

It is slow fodder: it walks straight at Tibo at speed 30 and has 9 HP and 4 contact damage. It gives 1 XP and has a 3% chance to drop gold; Ketchup Bog coins are worth ×1.3. Its stats are identical to the Oil Drip of the fry biomes.

#How it works

It has no special behaviour: the chase kind just uses the default movement straight towards Tibo.^[1] With mass 0 it takes full knockback.

#Tips

• At speed 30 it is less than half Tibo's base speed of 62, so it only becomes a problem in numbers. In Ketchup Bog, keep an eye on the burning ketchup puddles (“Puddles of ketchup burn and slow.”) as well.

#Stats

Base values before time scaling and difficulty.

#Where it appears

• Ketchup Bog, enemy tier 1
• Mash Swamp, enemy tier 1

Biome tiers: each biome lists five enemy tiers; higher tiers appear as the run goes on (see Enemy scaling).
