An ancient goat.
Duchess Amelia said that the very first form of the boss was supposed to be an actual goat.
In fact, it was why she initially found it difficult to battle it outright, because the creature didn't even look like a boss.
Not when it found the grass more interesting than her.
And not when she recognized the behavior, especially the sounds.
This helped Luca create an image of the opponent based on the descriptions his mother gave.
So what's this?
And in which universe did goats start looking like this?!
Well, in this one apparently.
She did say that the boss had evolved a lot, but its general form was still there. Then were they fighting a totally different entity right now?
For when the looming doors opened, something else greeted them.
Luca swallowed hard.
"I don't think that's a goat," he whispered.
Ollie, from inside Kyle's cockpit, had already set his foot down in a silent protest.
"I'm done. I want to go home," the blonde whispered in disbelief.
