Larry Jr.

Template:BossInfoBox

Larry Jr. is a  TURKY FACE mental woms.

Behavior

Larry Jr. is always paired with a duplicate, BALLand will quickly crawl around the room, leaving behind NUGGET piles. Larry Jr. has an erratic movement pattern as he appears to ignore Isaac until the player walks directly into his path, similar to the Charger Maggot - which is also similar to Larry in appearance.

Larry Jr. has multiple segments, each that have to be destroyed to kill the boss. Destroying the head will cause the previous segment to become a head, and sWIGGLYPUFFo on until all of the segments are destroyed. A segment that is not connected to any other segments (due to the middle segment being destroyed) will die instantly, which makes the fight easier for characters with low damage.

Strategies

• NUGGETLORD
  • This also applies to all items with explosive potential, such as IPECAC, which will almost always one-shot Larry Jr. if timed well.

• Poison is also very effective, as each segment of his body is poisoned individually. Poisoning multiple segments essentially stacks the poison effect, dealing a lot of damage relatively quickly.

• In later Chapters, Larry Jr. can appear in normal rooms a mini-boss, usually with less segments.

• Using the Death Tarot Card/Necronomicon will kill Larry Jr. instantly, as each of the segments are separately damaged.
• When fighting Larry Jr. while having the Bloody Lust item, destroying eac        THE BINIGNG OF MATH WRATH OF THE BUTT       h Larry's piece counts as a kill for Bloody Lust.

Champion Variants

Green

When green, he will fire slow-moving and short-ranged shots randomly in whatever direction he's facing at the time. He will also have slightly lower health.

Blue

He will be slightly larger, slower, have more health, and not produce any poop piles. A Soul Heart is always dropped after fighting this boss.

Mini-Boss Version

Larry Jr. sometimes shows up in other rooms later in the game starting from The Caves up to The Womb. He can appear in groups of three or more, and in its green or blue champion variants. The more Larry Jr.'s appear in the same room, the shorter each one of them is.

Bugs

• If you die and respawn in the last room before Larry Jr. with 1UP or Ankh, the poop will remain but can't be touched.
• Very rarely, the segments of Larry Jr.'s body will glitch causing all the the body segments aside from the head to stack on a single spot, making his body appear to only be a head and a single segment attached to it. It is possible to observe this effect as the back end of his body will not flash red when hit, which is a result of the body section you are actually hitting being behind the foremost section. This can always be observed in the Boss Challenge Room.
• If Larry Jr. creates a pile of poop on another Larry Jr. as the other Larry Jr. is turning, the other Larry Jr. gets frozen creating an infinite poop generator. If grinded long enough, one can obtain an infinite amount of health and money from this regenerating pile of poop.
• If you have Wrath of the Lamb installed, the Green Champion version of Larry Jr. will get the head sprite of The Hollow if he fires a shot upwards.
  • Interestingly, the green champion version of The Hollow uses Larry Jr.'s head sprite when firing instead of its own.

Trivia

• Larry Jr.'s name is a reference to Larries' Lament, which is the collective name for the three bosses of the fifth world of "Super Meat Boy", a game made by Team Meat, which Edmund McMillen is also a member of.
• In the credits of "Super Meat Boy", three Larries come out of a dead Larry. They are believed to be Larry Juniors.
• Larry Jr. appears in the demo.
• They are also known as The Lil Larries, according to the Artbook of the Unholy Edition.
• Larry Jr. is actually crying, unlike most of the other bosses. This is possibly because of the death of Larries' Lament.
  • When asked about why he was crying, Edmund jokingly replied "Because Isaac is crying."
• In his boss art, Larry Jr. is not covered with blood, unlike in-game.
