Clog is a boss introduced in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance and can appear in DrossDross.

Behavior

Clog remains stationary in the center of the room, with the exception of a rare boss room layout where he spawns at the top center. He performs the following attacks:

  • Spits out a Drip.pngDrip below him, repeating this attack a random number of times.
    • Clog stops spitting out Drips if 4 are already alive.
    • Clog alternates between spitting out Drips and performing his other attacks. If 4 Drips are alive, he skips spawning them and continuously uses his other attacks.
  • Creates three lines of farts that spread across the room, knocking away Isaac and Drips. Each fart has a chance to spawn Poop.pngPoops.
    • 1-2 Corny Poop.pngCorny Poops are spawned in this attack, and no more than 3 can be up at a time.
  • Shoots out 4 spiraling lines of projectiles, consisting of either slow projectiles with small gaps in between or fast projectiles with large gaps in between.
    • The projectiles pass over poop for 1 second after being fired, and are blocked by poop afterward.
    • The gaps between the slower projectiles are barely large enough for Isaac to move between them if he is next to the left or right wall.
  • Clog spins and causes the water in the room to circulate around him clockwise or counterclockwise, catching Isaac and any Drips, Bomb.pngBombs, and/or Pickups in its current.
    • This attack can only be used if at least 2 Drips are alive.
    • Like other water-based effects in the DrossDross floor, Isaac is unaffected by this current if he has flight.
  • Upon Clog's defeat, he and all remaining Drips are "flushed" away identical to the effect of using Flush! on them.

Notes

  • If a Butt Bombs Bomb goes off in the same room as Clog, it heals him.
  • The hitbox of poops is small enough for Isaac and the Drips spawned by Clog to move diagonally between them, even if they are undamaged.
    • This happens frequently when Clog causes the water to circulate and forces them to be pressed against the poops he spawns.
  • All poops created by Clog are significantly less likely to spawn pickups until Clog is defeated and Isaac re-enters the room, at which point they return to having their normal pickup drop chance.
  • Flush! kills Clog instantly and causes him to leave behind 6 Dip.pngDips.

Trivia

  • Clog appears to be a boss version of a Splurt.pngSplurt.
  • A clog is a blockage in a toilet and/or its drain pipes.
    • This is further referenced in Clog's death animation, where he gets flushed into the floor.
  • Clog has many similarities to Boss Brownie ingame.pngBrownie, though it is unknown whether or not they are truly connected.
    • Clog's "voice" is the same as that of Brownie, albeit pitched down.
    • Clog has buck teeth, just like Brownie.
    • Clog and Brownie are both large, round balls of poop.
