Bushy (Minion)

Bushy (Minion) is a small, passive shrub-like creature that represents the forest's next generation. It appears as an adorable baby bush and is normally timid and rarely seen. Encountering a Bushy is an uncommon event in a run and is treated as an omen: it either heralds remarkable good fortune or dire misfortune depending on whether the Leshy (Betsy) is present.

Although Bushys themselves do not proactively attack, they are closely linked to Betsy the Leshy. Any entity that harms a Bushy is swiftly captured by the dangerous constricting brambles that Betsy can summon. This makes Bushys effectively protected minions: attacking one invites immediate retaliation in the form of thorny restraints generated by the Leshy.

Practical notes for interaction and strategy:

• Do not assume safety from passive appearance: damaging a Bushy triggers Betsy’s thorn traps, so avoid attacking them unless you can accept or survive the resulting capture effects.
• Bushys are rare spawns; seeing one on a board is notable and should influence tactical decisions because of the potential presence or reaction of Betsy.
• Treat Bushys as wards rather than targets. They function as environmental allies to the forest forces by deterring aggression through the Leshy’s automatic defenses.
• Since the Bushy does not attack on its own, it is primarily relevant for how enemies or players choose to interact with it; control or avoidance are the usual safe options.
