Dingle

Dingle is a boss that can appear:

• Only in the Basement.
• In the Basement and the Burning Basement.

He is the boss version of the Dips.

Behavior

Dingle remains stationary and performs the following attacks:

• Fires 3 projectiles towards Isaac.
• Whistles before summoning 1-3 Dips and then fires 3 projectiles at Isaac.
• Quickly performs 3 long dashes towards Isaac while bouncing off obstacles and walls, after which he pauses to catch his breath.
  • Dips caught in his dashes are knocked back a distance.
  • Occasionally, Dingle will leave behind a Poop while using this attack.

Champion Versions

Black: Dingle summons Spiders instead of Dips and fires eight shots in all directions instead of spitting three at Isaac. He also dashes much faster, but will only dash one time instead of three.

Red: Dingle creates a Red Poop instead of summoning Dips. He also dashes four times instead of three, though the dashes are shorter and slower. He also fires blood projectiles instead of poop projectiles, though this is a purely cosmetic effect.

Notes

• Flush! kills Dingle instantly and causes him to leave behind 6 Dips.
• If a Bomb from Butt Bombs goes off in the same room as Dingle, it will heal him. This is especially bad if Isaac happens to have Number Two, which causes him to drop butt bombs while firing tears.
  • Butt Bombs fired by Dr. Fetus and Epic Fetus do not heal Dingle.
