Hot Poker

A demonic 11 HP enemy classified as a PokerDemon that skewers cats and allies alike with its heated weapon. The Hot Poker is an indiscriminate threat — its attacks can damage both sides of the battlefield, making positioning around it uniquely dangerous for any party.

The PokerPokeCat and PokerPokeAlly abilities indicate that Hot Poker attacks without discrimination, potentially harming allied enemies as well as your cats. This creates chaos in multi-enemy rooms where Hot Poker might incidentally weaken other enemies, but it also means your cats can be targeted by both the Hot Poker and the rest of the enemy formation simultaneously.

At 11 HP, Hot Poker is relatively easy to burst down before it deals significant damage. With 3 movement, it can reposition to skewer targets in different angles, so don't cluster cats in rows that the poker can pierce through. If it incidentally damages other enemies in the room, let it — this friendly-fire behavior can be a passive advantage that weakens the broader encounter.
