The Putrid Spawn is an enemy that appears in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. It is a species of Fusion Monsters that is used in Fuse's Army.

Physical appearance

A Putrid Spawn, from the . — A Putrid Spawn, from the Quick Start Game Guide.

The Putrid Spawn bears a strong resemblance to its Fusion Spawn cousin, being a basic round blob of Fusion Matter with a hook-like antennae on top of its head that resembles a dorsal fin and menacing and featureless red eyes. However, the Putrid Spawn wears a brown and gray half-face elastomeric respirator over its mouth, with black straps around its body that holds the mask in place. In addition, the end straps for its mask come together to form a black devil tail.

Gameplay

In gameplay, the Putrid Spawns are enemy monsters that the player fights at various points in the game, either optionally, or as a part of a mission objective. To target a Putrid Spawn, 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 Putrid Spawn will break up, and the Putrid Spawn will disintegrate.^[2] The player will then automatically receive some Fusion Matter and Taros as reward. However, while the Putrid Spawn's Taro reward remains consistent, its Fusion Matter reward will decrease for each level the Avatar is above the Putrid Spawn; if the Avatar is six levels higher than the Putrid Spawn or more, no Fusion Matter is rewarded. Sometimes, the player also automatically receives loot from defeated Putrid Spawns in the form of C.R.A.T.E.s, Nano Potions, and Weapon Boosts.

In battle, the Putrid Spawns target the Avatar when they get close enough. However, the higher the Avatar's level is, the closer they can get to a Putrid Spawn without it attacking them. Once they begin fighting, the Putrid Spawns 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 Putrid Spawns 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, a Putrid Spawn will respawn after one hundred seconds.

Powers and abilities

Skills the Putrid Spawns have exhibited include:

Energy Projection: The Putrid Spawns can fire blasts of green energy.
Fusion Matter Explosion: The Putrid Spawns possess the Eruption Attack, which lets them create a localized explosion of Fusion Matter from the ground. When launching this attack, the Putrid Spawns make the ground below their opponent glow with Fusion Matter for a few seconds before causing a pillar of Fusion Matter to erupt.
Levitation: The Putrid Spawns are able to float and move around in midair.
Nano Drain: The Putrid Spawns 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 King Stingers, the Nano will get a boost in stamina. Should the King Stingers launch their Corruption Attack on an opponent without a Nano out though, the former will take damage.
Poison Breath: The breaths of the Putrid Spawns each contain deadly poison.^[1]
Potion Consumption: The Putrid Spawns possess the Battery Drain, which lets them launch attacks that can drain the Avatar's supply of Nano Potions and Weapon Boosts by a certain amount.
