×5 Boxing kangaroo — 4,000 HP, 250 AP single-attack at 160 range with 100% Multi-Hit (3 hits per attack). Tankier than typical Traitless peons. Anti-Traitless or pure DPS overload.
Tiny but spawns constantly — distraction unit.
Faster, stronger Shibalien with 35% Warp chance back 750 range. Slowable/freezable like other Aliens. Bahamut can one-shot in its first appearance.
Hippoe variant — 7000 HP, 200 dmg Area Attack at 222 range. Tough first encounter in ItF Norway but a glorified Hippoe once you have Valkyrie / Bahamut and ItF Treasures.
100% Warp chance back 500 range for 3.3s — extremely disruptive. Low range vulnerability. Counter with Area Attackers and Warp-Immune cats (Bora/Lumina line, Rover Cat Mk II).
Anti-Metal Titanium Fruit cluster begins. Metal Dogees and Metal Hippoes appear alongside Shibalien Elite and Star Peng. Critical Hit cats (Island Cat, Manic Eraser at high level) handle Metals; Anti-Alien handles the Pengs.
First Star Peng test in CotC under a MAX 20 restriction. Kang Roo (Traitless Multi-Hit) plus Hyppoh and Shibalien Elite create the front-line pressure; Star Peng warps your backliners. r/battlecats calls this 'the Warp Immunity midterm' — the stage where you find out whether your backline holds up to a guaranteed 500-range warp. Lineup: tight roster pick — Mohawk + Manic Mohawk + Bahamut Cat → 1-2 Warp-Immune backliners (Bora/Lumina line, Rover Cat Mk II) → Awakened Bahamut for rushes between Star Peng spawns. Common failure: assuming MAX 20 means 'bring fewer of what you'd normally bring.' It means 'pick 20 cats that handle Hyppoh AND Star Peng simultaneously.' Cut anything that does neither.
BAZIFENIX S Anti-Alien Uber primary — 100% Barrier Breaker + 100% Weaken vs Alien handles every Alien threat on the stage 
LUMINALIA S Anti-Alien LR tank — ~1.9M effective HP vs Alien + Warp Immunity, stalls anything the stage spawns 
AWAKENED BAHAMUT CAT S Speed 60 multi-hit Special rusher — front-loads burst on Alien peon waves 
HOLY VALKYRIE CAT A 350-range area chip with 35% Freeze on non-Metal peons — long-tail crowd control
