| - Carnival |
Carnival is an optional boss, who can be found in the Nothingness after Justus has been defeated. They represent the zodiac sign of Sagittarius.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Carnival's lower body is four-legged, hooved, covered in wool or thick fur, and they possess a tail. A frowning, crying mask is tied to the centre of their lower torso.
Their hands and fingers are large and deformed, resembling a bat's wings without membranes. They have sharp teeth and large, bull-like horns.
Personality[]
They seem to reference the fact that this game (a remake) has happened before, and they believe that since they remember the end of the world, a celebration of what once was is in order. They sing and play in remembrance of the world, but they acknowledge their flaws and express anxiety about what will happen in the wake of their passing.
In Battle[]
Throughout the battle, Carnival will start different "games" based on the zodiac signs. They will use variations of the abilities of whichever boss corresponds to that zodiac sign.
In the battle both you and Carnival are able to win "prizes" through doing certain actions, winning a prize reduces the time until the winner's next action. The condition for winning a prize changes depending on the "game" currently being played.
Carnival must be defeated to later fight Cob.

Pre-Combat
Carnival: Here you are, at least. I was waiting for you.
My friend, the batter.
Let's feast and dance together now that we know what lies ahead.
Now that we know what lies ahead, in the infinite valley.
Let's sing together the carnival song, the song of the skeletons, the song of the outcasts and the mad.
Take my hand and cry on my shoulder,
this will be a sad and very happy song at the same time

Post-Combat
Carnival: Wasn't that a beautiful moment of triumph, truth and joy?
A wonderful song isn't it?
Unfortunately it can't last forever.
I hope it will be fine without me.
Will anyone miss me?
