He's the halfling half-foot representation in our party and takes the role seriously. He's very conscious of the peculiarities of half feet and takes full advantage of his size while expertly sidestepping the shortcomings. Insistent in his role as a non-combatant, Chilchuck makes excellent use of his heightened senses and lightweight frame to both find and disarm traps as well as act as something of a sentry for the party. Or- he doesn't do any guarding so maybe it'd be more apt to call him a watch dog- ... watch.... chihuahua? Yes. He is a watch chihuahua.

His stubbornness and work ethic has earned him quite a reputation on the island. At least some of the other half-feet see him as arrogant and greedy, though the reality of the situation is that he is so strict with the other half feet to protect them. Chilchuck has long since disposed of his naivety, coming to terms with how the other species making up humanity tend to view half-feet.

So, classpect time.

Chilchuck is a....

Sylph Of Life!

One who restores [Life]/advances [Life]

I think one of the biggest things is that Chilchuck is just very tightly bound to responsibility, one of the key... aspects, I guess, of the Life aspect.

I should start calling these "Sub-aspects" or something.

He's always on Laios' proverbial dick about being a better leader, and it's hard to blame him. Laios has a lot to work on, and that's well known. I don't know if I'd go as far as calling Chil a mentor figure per say, but he is well aware of the situation they're in. I'm not talking about the awareness from his heightened senses either. He's by far the most sensible of any of our heroes. He's pretty much always got something to look out for. Keeping everyone alive, sane, and out of trouble are really his main goals in the story. Not to say that the others don't also want these things, but Chilchuck shows few desires outside of that. I think he's really the only party member that consistently gets on people's cases about being reckless. He has good cause for being like this, nearly being a sacrificial lamb for his first party. With that sort of intro, it's hard to keep your innocence.

Another manifestation of the responsibility sub-aspect is his commitment to being a non-combatant.

It isn't in his contract, but it's important to note that he isn't unwilling to help in these sorts of situations. It isn't his job to charge into battle. He still helps wherever he can tho! And at the end of the day, he will take up that responsibility. He throws the knife into the dragon's eye, he guides Senshi's blade to the dryads, and he deals with the mimic.

About

Note: This mini-game is one boss fight. It is a 10 to 30 minutes fight, more with Furier difficulty or to get a S rank! Defeat The Chain to escape your jail. Fight Furi‘s first guardian in an ultra-fast-paced and nervous battle, in a reinvented side-scrolling mix of shoot ’em up and hack-and-slash. Be agile and quick, jump, shoot, dash, parry and slash. The simple controls will test your nerves: stay calm and focus to evade the blows and counter-attack at the right time!

A Love Letter to 8-Bit Games – We love retro games and wanted this demake to feel authentic! It’s the Furi experience, agile and intense, reimagined in retro style. The simple controls with only three action buttons, the old-school pixel art and the catchy music from ODD will bring you back to the 90s!

A Gift to Furi‘s Community – We reimagined Furi‘s first boss fight as a way to thank players for their ongoing support.

A Collaboration with Sylph – We were impressed with Sylph’s work as a solo dev and asked him to create this demake of Furi‘s first boss fight.
