Monsoon is a boss in the Fiend Folio MOD that can appear in the FloodedCavesIcon.png Flooded Caves.

Behavior

Monsoon will always start off the battle in his smaller form, before quickly melting into the ground and dropping from the ceiling in his full-size form.

Monsoon makes quick hops towards Isaac, occasionally performing the following attacks:

  • Spits out a large cluster of projectiles towards Isaac, similar to Monstro's vomit attack but larger and quicker.
  • Spits out a large projectile into the air which slightly homes towards Isaac while raining down a shower of projectiles alongside 2 Drop.png Drops falling to the ground.
  • Summons several Bubble Medium.png Bubbles of varying sizes across the whole room, which appear out of the ground.
    • Bubbles will drift around the room slowly, bouncing off of walls and being able to block Isaac's tears, popping after being hit by a tear or from touching Isaac.
  • Melts into the ground and then drops onto Isaac's location 3-5 times in a row, scattering a ring of 8 short range projectiles each time he splashes into the floor.
    • When he drops from the ceiling for the last time he scatters a larger, randomized ring of projectiles.
  • Inflates himself to a larger size and slides to the center of the room. Once there, he will release large amounts of projectiles in random directions while slowly deflating.
    • The rate at which he shoots projectiles increases the smaller he gets, while also releasing projectiles which travel in a circular pattern as he does so.
    • Once he has deflated back to normal size, he releases a ring of 16 projectiles and the attack ends.
  • Transforms into a smaller size while launching out a pair of charging Dribble.png Dribbles, each with reduced HP, in a wide V pattern towards Isaac. While in his smaller form, he has an altered set of attacks:
    • Hops towards Isaac and spits a small cluster of projectiles at the height of each jump towards him each time he does so.
    • Sinks into the ground and performs the dropping attack but without creating any projectiles.
    • Eventually, he will melt into the ground and drop from the ceiling in his normal-sized form, scattering a ring of projectiles as he does so.

Upon death, Monsoon transforms into a Drop.png Drop.

Notes

  • Monsoon in his small form can be flushed away with Flush!.png Flush! — doing this will also cause him to drop the Dripping Badge Dripping Badge.

Trivia

  • Monsoon is the boss version of Drop.png Drops and Dribble.png Dribbles, being one of many bosses based off of the lineage of poop-themed enemies including Dingle.png Dingle, Brownie.png Brownie and BascoIcon.png Basco.
  • Much of Monsoon's behavior and design is directly based off of Monstro.png Monstro; however, his ability to change size and split into a smaller form is reminiscent of two other bosses, those being Dingle.png Dingle while Monsoon is in his smaller form, and Brownie.png Brownie while Monsoon is inflated.
  • There are options in the mod's Dead Sea Scrolls menu of the Fiend Folio MOD to change Monsoon's name:
    • There are currently four choices — "Monsoon", "Moistro", "Jack the Dripper", or "Jack Moistro the Monsoon Dripper".
    • While his default name is set to Monsoon, he is referred to as Moistro in game files.
  • Monsoon's sounds are the same sounds Monstro uses in the original Flash version of The Binding of Isaac.
