Giant Alien

The Giant Alien is a special enemy found in the "There's a psychic presence here!" event.

Statistics

Health: 10[1]
Damage: 1 (Touch), 1 (stun bubble)
Size: Large (2x2)
Special: It can create a psychic bubble, which will follow you, similar to the Scepter. If hit by it, you'll take damage and are stunned for a short amount of time. A Jetpack can be gained by bombing the wall behind this enemy.

Strategy

Killing this enemy with bombs is probably the easiest way if you have no weapons. Either bomb a hole in the ceiling above it and throw a bomb down or try to lay a bomb in front of it. But pay attention to its psychic power and the barrier in front of it, which is immune to thrown objects (but not bullets). The bubble's range isn't very high but it can offer other enemies like the Yeti a free hit on you. If you're hit by it, just button mash to get up sooner. The attempt to kill this boss by jumping will usually result in dying.
