Haunted umbrella

haunted umbrella

You unilaterally decide your foe needs a slick new look and pull them into a whirlwind costume montage.

And... magnifique!

It takes more than just dressing up like a haunted umbrella, you have to really be the haunted umbrella. Seriously, you can't even tell where your old enemy went in there. You did a great job.

That said, not every possession can be a Pazuzu-namedropping head-spinning hyphen-inducing romp. Sometimes an old umbrella just becomes a mischievous spirit and does... spirit umbrella things... mostly getting left at coffee shops, I imagine.
Your opponent attacks ...

How to Encounter

• Using Disguise Foe skill on foes whose name starts with H or U.

Notes

• Foes's stats and drops will be replaced by those of the disguised form.

• Using ionic tonic doesn't change the resulting disguise, and the resulting foe keeps the ionic in the name as well as the electrical weakness.
• Foes that can't be replicated also can't be disguised with the exception of:

Scaling foes;

Foes from The streets of Somerset;

footpath footpad and ghost of X;
