Snow Bush
The Snow Bush, also known as White Bush, is a foe in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4. It appears mostly in snowy areas, such as Glacier Valley and Whitefall Town. It is a member of the Bush enemy class.
Appearance
The Snow Bush is a small creature made of white leaves. It has ice blue eyes and leaf "hands" with claws. In EBF3, it has several possible appearances: three with a branch sticking out of its head in varying directions, one with two horns (like Dark Bush), one with a smaller version of the bush on top of its head, and one without any extra features; in EBF4, only one is used — the one with a branch sticking out of its head straight up.
Overview
As befitting a bush, the Snow Bush is a weak foe that can be easily dispatched at any level. However, if accompanied by stronger foes (such as Ice Elementals and Big Snow Slimes) it can be a nuisance by occasionally debuffing a player's Defence and buffing allies' Attack in EBF3, enchancing allies' damage output, or simply debuffing the party's Attack in EBF4. Ironically, despite being a Snow Bush, it has no Ice-elemental attacks.
Regardless of the game it is found in, the White/Snow Bush is a mild nuisance that should be taken out with multi-target attacks. Lance's Flame Burst and Natalie's Firestorm should be more than enough.
