×20 Doge variant — first Alien enemy you face. 900 HP, 150 dmg, low movement, hits for solid damage at melee range. Easily killed by Lion Cat / Crazed Sexy Legs / Bahamut.
Second enemy introduced. Slightly tougher than Doge but still functions as fodder. Red variants are separate enemies (Ginger Snache, etc.).
Spawns in groups of three. Area attackers clear them fast.
Croco's Alien variant — fragile (3,000 HP, 900 AP, 130 range, no abilities) but appears in 42 CotC stages with magnifications scaling from 100% to 2,400%. At high mag his DPS climbs to 12k-25k. Crazed Sexy Legs / Macho Leg / Wheel Cat clear groups easily.
Tiny but spawns constantly — distraction unit.
Fast Angel rusher.
Fast attack rate for a peon.
Mystery Mask cluster stage — collecting these treasures weakens The Cat God to a beatable 100% at stage 48. Light peon stage.
First Mystery Mask stage. Its treasure (Transmission) is one of three needed to weaken The Cat God at 1-48 from 1,100% to 100%. Easy stage by Ch.1 standards: Those Guys + Snache + Shibalien, no boss. Standard 'farm' loadout: anything that can finish under three minutes. r/battlecats: 'don't skip this. You'll regret it at Big Bang.' Common failure: ignoring the Mystery Mask grind and then attempting 1-48 with un-weakened Cat God — that's the path to 30+ retry attempts. Collect superior treasure (~30% drop) before moving past stage 43.
