Caterpillar

The Caterpillar is an enemy from Jazz Jackrabbit 2. It also is an JCS Event.

Character details


A caterpillar, smoking throuugh a long pipe and blowing smoke rings. Unlike most of the enemies in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, touching the caterpillar does not hurt the player. However, touching one of the smoke rings will make your character dizzy. When dizzy, the foreground and background layers move around the current location, and the player’s controls will be reversed. The character will also move slower, and if you are playing in 8-bit mode then Jazz Jackrabbit 2 will cycle the colour palette to cause a psychedelic effect. The effect wears off after a short period of time.

Another unusual aspect of the caterpillar is that it cannot be destroyed. However, shooting it will temporarily stun it, allowing the player’s character to avoid the smoke rings.
