Boss
The Throbbing King
Phase 1 (on throne): tethering projectile that ensnares targets; vomits innards forming poo/clots that grow into threats; Follow Orders tile-marking mechanic (tentacles erupt from unsafe tiles for heavy damage). Phase 2 (leaves throne): lower HP but higher mobility; fires piercing vomit blasts in lines inflicting bleed.
The Throbbing King is the secret boss of the Throbbing Domain, one of Act 1's most punishing encounters — on his throne he tethers cats, vomits clots that grow into threats, and erupts tentacles from any tile he hasn't marked as safe. Surviving requires reading the 'Follow Orders' tile patterns every round and managing spawned adds while maintaining DPS on the main target.
