The Epic Shellslug is an enemy that appears in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. It is a species of Fusion Monsters that is used in Fuse's Army, and the boss version of the Shellslugs.
Physical appearance
Essentially a larger version of the Shellslug, the Epic Shellslug resembles an amalgam of fossilized bones and a tortoise. It possesses a grayish dark blue tortoise shell with pointy spikes along the outer rim, and a lower body made of a mix of brown dirt and Fusion Matter. Up front, it has a neckless head made of the same materials as its body, but with two featureless red eyes and a mouth with a green maw and two fangs protruding from its jaw. It also has two arms with four-fingered hands made of fossilized gray bones held together by Fusion Matter. In addition, it has webbing between its fingers that are made of Fusion Matter and various forms of dirt. Extending from down its pelvis is also a fossilized and spiky spine held together by Fusion Matter, with a tail tip consisting of the skull of a Ceratopsian dinosaur, compete with green eyes, two horns on its nose, and spikes along its frill.
Gameplay
In gameplay, the Epic Shellslugs are enemy monsters that the player can fight at various points in the game. To target an Epic Shellslug, align the Avatar with it to make its information window appear on the top of the screen. Should its Health Bar reach zero when battling it, the Fusion Matter animating the Epic Shellslug will break up, and the Epic Shellslug will disintegrate.[1] The player will then automatically receive some Fusion Matter and Taros as reward. However, while the Epic Shellslug's Taro reward remains consistent, its Fusion Matter reward will decrease for each level the Avatar is above the Epic Shellslug. Sometimes, the player also automatically receives loot from defeated Epic Shellslugs in the form of C.R.A.T.E.s, Nano Potions, and Weapon Boosts.
In battle, the Epic Shellslugs target the Avatar when they get close enough. However, the higher the Avatar's level is, the closer they can get to an Epic Shellslug without it attacking them. Once they begin fighting, the Epic Shellslugs will continue attacking until either they are destroyed, the Avatar is defeated, or the Avatar moves too far away from their point of origin. If the Avatar runs away from them, the Epic Shellslugs will follow them until they get too far away from their area of roaming, at which point they will return, where they will regain their full health instantly. Notably, while retreating, they will be invulnerable to attacks. Also, once defeated, an Epic Shellslug will respawn after one hundred and fifty seconds.
History
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall
Fusion Invasion
The Past
In the Past, the Epic Shellslugs would fight the soldiers opposing the Fusion Invasion.
Behavior
Like other Fusion Monsters, the Epic Shellslugs are aggressive, hostile, and spit out Fusion Matter wherever they go.
Powers and abilities
Skills the Epic Shellslugs have exhibited include:
- Fusion Matter Explosion: The Epic Shellslugs possess the Eruption Attack, which lets them create a localized explosion of Fusion Matter from the ground. When launching this attack, the Epic Shellslugs make the ground below their opponent glow with Fusion Matter for a few seconds before causing a pillar of Fusion Matter to erupt.
- Nano Drain: The Epic Shellslugs possess the Corruption Attack, which lets them drain Nanos of their stamina. When they are attacking a Nano, they will start to glow, which is the wind up, before throwing an attack that will trump their opponent's Nano. Should it make contact, the Nano will lose a lot of stamina. Conversely, if their opponent drops their current Nano and brings out one that deflects the attack back at the Epic Shellslugs, the Nano will get a boost in stamina. Should the Epic Shellslugs launch their Corruption Attack on an opponent without a Nano out though, the former will take damage.
- Stun Inducement: Epic Shellslugs possess the Stun - Cone power, which can immobilize their opponents completely for a few moments.
