Enemy

Othom has more damage and health than both Mooth and Maawth, with an Omni Strike that hits cats up to 440 range away from him, allowing him to outrange the majority of non-Uber units.

As with most Relic enemies, Othom also has curse, but it is generally ignorable due to it being lower than his attack rate, so it comes into play in very few stages, except for Rutsborg Vortex, where he debuts. He is also very tanky, especially for a backliner, with 800,000 HP and only one knockback.

In 2-Crown Uncanny Legends, Othom has 1.2 million HP, 16,667 damage, and 5,688 DPS. His HP buff is minor since he still only has one knockback, but his attack becomes strong enough to kill a maxed Eraser Cat in two hits instead of three, along with many more interaction changes. This may require boosting of Cat Units to counteract properly.

Strategy

Thanks to his Omni Strike, most cheap attackers such as Cyborg Cat or Dragon Cat become obsolete, so use cats that can outrange him such as Awakened Ururun and/or Cyberpunk Cat, as they can hit Othom from a safe distance. You could also use Awakened Mina, provided there is something that can be used as a stepping stone for her to snipe Othom, otherwise, she's about as useful as a Drury Witch. You could also use long-ranged Ubers such as Ultimate Catman or Kinrangers GigaForce, should you be lucky enough to have them. Due to Othom only having one knockback, the Breakerblast Cannon can be useful for keeping Othom at bay.

Trivia

• The name "Othom" is an anagram of Mooth.
• Like Mooth, his Japanese name, Chō Chōchō (超町長), is a pun that doesn't translate well to English: 超 chō (super-) and 町長 chōchō (mayor) are pronounced like 蝶 chō (butterfly), so if it were spelled differently it would mean "Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly".
• When Othom was first released, his Floating trait was not mentioned in his Enemy Guide entry. This was fixed at an unknown date.
• Lepidoptera is an order of insects that includes butterflies and moths.
• He has the lowest curse duration of all enemies, to the point he's one of the two cursing enemies whose curse duration is lower than its attack rate, the other being Urs & Fenrir.
