FrankenGecko
FrankenGeckos[1] were enemies that appeared in the Cemetery in Gex. They were dead geckos brought back to life and have frankenstein hair styles and stiches on their forehead. They groan loudly
Design and inspiration[]
FrankenGeckos are clearly modeled after Frankenstein's Monster, created by Mary Shelley. Their platform shoes, hairstyle, head stitches, groans, gait and raised arms pose is stereotypical of Frankenstein's Monster as depicted in film adaptations and popular culture in general.
Behaviour and strategy[]
- FrankenGeckos are relatively simple to dispose of, as they only walk back and forth and have no special attacks, relying on walking towards the player to inflict damage. The player can simply tail whip them or tail bounce on them, as well as burning them/freezing them from a distance by using firefly Power-Ups.
- FrankenGeckos can sense when the player is behind them, and will immediately turn and walk in the direction of the player. This can catch some players off-guard, inflicting damage if approached too recklessly.
