Ede
“As the manager, protector, and promoter of Wish Land, Ede tirelessly hands out 'tickets' to everyone he meets.”
Characteristics
The Ede is a massive Elite Deviant, easily recognized by its oversized right arm, tattered suit and tie, and the cluster of giant balloons that form its head. Each balloon displays a crudely drawn facial expression, ranging from joy to fear, giving it an unsettling appearance. The Ede’s immense, suit-clad body radiates an overflowing and irrepressible joy that it eagerly seeks to share—often through lethal means.
Phylogenetics
Though the Ede’s physical body is completely concealed, there are striking anatomical similarities between the Ede and the Arbiter. Just as the Claw Machine is a variant of the Chagas Weevil, NalGeo researchers speculate that the Ede is an Arbiter subjected to advanced levels of Stardust mutation.
Behavior
Historical accounts reveal a chilling truth: anyone—human or Deviant—who touches one of the Ede’s vibrant balloons is transformed into a “Customer,” a fate as mysterious as it is ominous. When the Ede is deep in thought, one of its balloons glows faintly, offering a rare insight into its enigmatic mind.
AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS
Sparkler Gatling: The Ede unleashes a rapid barrage of high-velocity projectiles from its arm.
Bonkzilla: Conjures a colossal inflatable hammer, slamming it down with devastating force. Be wary of the ground markers indicating the impact zone.
Weaknesses
The Ede’s mutated body is highly durable and resistant to many forms of damage. However, targeting the Ede’s illuminated “thought balloon” will cause it to burst, stunning the creature temporarily. The Ede will continue to illuminate its remaining balloons until all are destroyed. If the Ede is not defeated quickly enough, it will regenerate a new set of balloons, prolonging the fight.
