Bag of Chum

The Bag of Chum is a very rare trinket or throwable that coats enemies in fish entrails, applying the Chum status and attracting additional enemies or triggering feeding frenzy effects. A niche crowd-control item that can redirect enemy behavior in your favor.

Chum status can cause other predatory enemies to prioritize the chummed target rather than your cats, effectively turning one enemy into a distraction. The interaction between Chum and aquatic or beast-type enemies may be particularly pronounced, making this item more valuable in stages with multiple enemy types. Consider using it to redirect the most dangerous enemy in a group toward a weaker one.

The Bag of Chum is situationally powerful rather than universally useful. It shines in encounters with mixed enemy factions or beast-heavy stages where triggering infighting saves your team resources. Avoid using it in rooms with a single enemy type that doesn't have feeding frenzy behavior. Carry it as a utility option on a flexible cat who doesn't need that item slot for a primary weapon.
