Somewhere in the middle of Netfrica, two progs smiled brightly at each other across an unstable patchwork wooden stall. One of them tipped its poorly clipped cowboy hat, and its eyes scanned across the identifier with a scroll of quick code assessment.
"Well I sure don't have that there program on any o' my admin lists, but the permit checks out clean. Good enough fer me, pardner! Here's yer bounty, and here's yer next list. Hope that Jazz gave ye instructions on what he wanted ta hunt!" with another jovial nod, a cache of zenny flipped up form a hitherto unseen rotating panel in the surface of the stall, while the Wrangler himself printed out a new bounty list to slide onto the counter beside it:
GloomerGloomer (Boomer)
Boomers cannot be damaged from any direction in the forward hemisphere so long as they carry their boomerang. Any attacks from the rear hemisphere or Break attacks hit normally. Boomers launch their boomerang when they attack, leaving themselves open to counter attacks. Boomers move by floating through the air, and are immune to the effects of Anchor. They are, however, still subject to the effects of terrain. They cannot be forced to submerge into liquid terrain, nor can they be buried in solid terrain. Boomers are horrible at dodging, as they generally rely on their Rang-Guard ability.

Trader Rank: CEarthJelly2EarthJelly2 (EarthJelly)
EarthJelly are floating, jellyfish-like viruses, that seem to simply float nonchalantly, yet are deceptively difficult to combat. Fortunately, their rarity ensures they they never appear before a Battle 6, and there are never more than 2 in a single battle. While their horizontal movement is terrible at best, they can easily adjust their altitude as needed. By default, however, they tend to hover a couple of feet above the ground. The exception to this is when they attack. EarthJelly attack by launching large waves of mud at enemies The attack cycle of EarthJelly is 2 actions long. It requires one action to charge before firing. If they are stunned or otherwise temporarily disabled, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. When they attack, they drop to the ground in order to pump out as much liquid as possible. This allows them to harness the power of certain kinds of terrain to boost their attacks, but it also makes them immobile and vulnerable to ground-based attacks for the duration.

VolcanerVolcaner (Volcano)
Volcano viruses only appear if there is Lava Terrain present on the field, and only 1 Volcano virus may appear per panel of Lava Terrain (usually 5%). Volcano viruses move and dodge at average speed.

Trader Rank: CTotamTotam (Totem)
Totems always begin in attack mode. They switch modes (spin around) when they take damage. Mode switching is automatic, and doesn't require an action. When hit with a Multi-Hit attack, the Totems will switch modes for however many times they are hit. An even number of hits will result in no change, and an odd number of hits will leave the Totems on the opposite mode. Multi-Hit attacks happen quickly enough that the Totems will not take an action in between the multiple mode changes.

Trader Rank: CTwinnerTwinner (Twins)
Twins viruses appear only in linked pairs, and never in odd numbers. A linked pair of Twins viruses will only link to each other, and not with any other Twins viruses present. The linked pairs are always clustered close together, and move by revolving around each other, which makes them susceptible to AoE. If one of the linked pair is deleted, and the other is not, then the virus that was deleted is revived as a free action immediately after. Both must be deleted within the span of one turn to be truly defeated. Twins viruses act in the following manner: One Twins will attack while the other moves. They then swap roles the next action, with the second virus attacking while the first moves. The virus making the move is counted as making a Dodge. The pattern is not altered even if a Twins is deleted and resurrected. They simply carry on next action as if nothing happened.

Trader Rank: CKilburKilbur (Kilby)
Kilby viruses try to stay at least 3 panels away from their enemy at all times, and dodge back and forth constantly. Kilby viruses only attack once per turn, and when they do, they teleport to a position flanking their target, and stab them with a Bamboo Lance. This lance strikes at Long Sword range, and may hit two targets at once. After attacking, they teleport back to the panel they were standing upon when they first began their attack sequence. They are mindlessly oblivious to the hazards of terrain. Kilby Omega viruses attack differently. Instead of attacking from the side, they attack 3 separate targets from behind with Bamboo Lance. They also teleport before and after the attack, just as lesser Kilby do, and only attack once per turn. They are mindlessly oblivious to the hazards of terrain.
