Sack Boogies

Well, it's drawn by your noisy Sack Boogie. If the small fry are showing up anyways, maybe you'd be better off putting it back in the sack and seeing if the big one loses interest.

Otherwise your best bet is probably to give the beast some kind of distraction and drive past it while it's occupied with that?

Have your ANNOISY head away from the crawler while calling. If you think you can defeat it, probably best not to do that, losing your ANNOISY would be sad.

You have an idea. For some reason, the smaller Sack Boogies don't seem to be frightened by your ANNOISY, so there's not much benefit keeping it on the crawler as a deterrent.

Instead, you can send ANNOISY out to distract the big Boogie and lead it away from the road.



While the crawler continues safely along the road, you can ride out into the murderforest on your cyclotron and attack the big Boogie from behind. Even if you aren't able to defeat it, you might be able to recover your ANNOISY before it gets hurt and make your escape once the crawler is safely out of range.

It's a little risky for a number of reasons. It'll be difficult to control the ANNOISY as it gets further out of range of your Boogie Sack, so you'll need to counter that by leaving more of your Sack Boogies in the Boogie Sack so that it has fewer subumbral connections to maintain. If you run into any opposition in the murderforest, instead of pulling out a Boogie and engaging you'll have to just outrun it until you get closer to your ANNOISY (unless you want to risk it running amok or escaping).

You climb back into the crawler and head to the roof so you can get a good look at the big Boogie through the macroscope.



You notice nothing out of the ordinary along the way.

>Sneakerat: Get Run Over

You are now a wild BAARDVARK.



You umbrificate into the shadows of this weird machine, then disumbrificate into the darkest place you can find.



Wow, it's kinda crowded in here.

Up on the roof, you pull out the electron macroscope and examine the trail ahead.



Blast! That has to be a wild BOWLDOZER, a legendary dishware-type Sack Boogie.



It's likely to be surrounded by a flock of protective PLATELETS, which could complicate your battleplan. It's also too big for your Boogie Sack, so you won't be able to capture it even if you subdue it.

On the other hand, BOWLDOZERs are known for moving forward in straight lines (ignoring and obliterating most obstacles in their way) while being slow to turn around. So your plan to draw it off course might just work!

And hey, if you can snag a PLATELET for yourself, you could someday have a BOWLDOZER of your own!

Is there anything else you want to do before you send your ANNOISY out into the murderforest to distract the beast, or is it time to get this party started?
