Mooth (Floating)

Mooth (ガガガガ gagagaga, Gagagaga) is a Floating enemy that appears in the Main Chapters and Legend Stages.

Enemy

In addition to its serviceable attack pool and movement speed, Mooth has a repetitive but unorthodox attacking technique where it winds up, rams your cats, and lowers down, all taking a little over a second to execute.

The damage-dealing part of Mooth's one-second attack animation is right in the middle, so if new players spam cheap cats that have a quick cooldown period, they will discover that Mooth's pushing power is greatly lowered. This tactic is often referred to by not-so-new players as 'meatshielding,' and will be expanded upon later in Empire of Cats, hint hint.

In the Legend Stages, Mooth's position as a backline enemy is quickly stolen by Owlbrow, an enemy who behaves similarly to Mooth but moves slower and has more attack power in proportion to its health. You'll still be seeing plenty of Mooths in your adventures, because this enemy drops a large amount of money when defeated, and many stages later in the game use Mooths as a money provider.

Strategy

To kill it, you need strong attackers like Titan Cat or anti-Floating cats like Mer-Cat. If you have real trouble with it, use Macho Cat and Wall Cat to stall it, then use Dragon Cat and Mythical Titan Cat.

A good method to defeat Mooths is to overwhelm it with fast-hitting units, like Cow Cat, or using Lizard/Gross Cat, since they outrange it. This enemy is Floating, so anti-Floating cats are useful against him.
