Dry NoLegs
Dry NoLegs is a skeletal version of NoLegs the cat. He makes his first appearance in the Epic Battle Fantasy spin-off, Bullet Heaven 2. In his original costume, he can be seen riding a brown leaf, whereas in his other costumes, he is riding a green leaf, a black platform and a spiky platform.
Bullet Heaven 2
The game marks Dry NoLegs's first appearance. Often portrayed as asocial and anti-social, Dry NoLegs shows great hatred, jealousy and malice for the affection and love that NoLegs expresses towards the other characters he sees as his friends, instead seeing them as nothing more but puppets being controlled by the threads of life that must be cut to ribbons.
NoLegs was unable to convince Dry NoLegs to forgive itself for its past mistakes, and so it rides the Wicked Weaver into battle at the end of World 8, which takes place in another dimension.
Empowered by Chaotic Energy, Dry NoLegs can use a variety of ethereal magic to materialize black knife-like projectiles, red crescent-shaped bursts dubbed "Bullet Hell", columns of red swords dubbed "Blade Wall", and a large spell circle with spiked tendrils and thorns that does immense damage to all enemies on screen, if not instantly killing them.
Dry NoLegs controls almost identically to NoLegs in the spinoff Bullet Heaven series, having high speed and crowd control functionality but lacking good single target damage for boss fights, making the character better suited for standard levels without boss fights. (Unless you get dangerously close to your intended target(s) with Bullet Hell at point blank range.)
Trivia
- The name "Dry NoLegs" is a reference to the Dry Bones enemies from the Super Mario franchise, which are skeletal versions of Koopa Troopas. They usually collapse when jumped on, but reanimate themselves back to normal after a few seconds.
