Behavior

The Glitch is found in small setpieces scattered across the Realm upon its generation. Like the Beer God, it can initially only be seen as an enemy marker on the minimap. Once enough players gather around it, it will appear and attack.

Phase 1

The Glitch wanders in place, sporadically lobbing multicolored bombs that do 100 armor piercing damage.

Phase 2

The Glitch freezes in place and starts firing 4-way shot-machineguns of binary shots. Every burst, it will shift the orientation of the barrage by 45 degrees.

Phase 3

The Glitch starts to teleport around the place, firing shotguns of Error Spikes at the nearest player.

Phase 4

The Glitch wanders around erratically, leaving tiles of damaging Exposed Code in its wake. It will also attack with radial bursts of Error Stars.

Upon death, the Glitch explodes into a ring of harmless projectiles (from other weapons/enemies), leaving behind a small square of safe tiles which contains its loot and a portal to The Machine.

Trivia

The Glitch’s hit sound is the same as when a player attempts an invalid input (ie. using an ability without enough mana), and its death sound is the sound effect that plays during the death screen.

Almost all of The Glitch’s lines are taken from Fracktail, a robotic dragon boss from the game Super Paper Mario.
