I of course mean Flibby the Boxing Ladybug from Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for Playstation, Sega Saturn and PC! I absolutely love her design from her rotund body to her magenta boxing gloves and clown hair.
You see Flibby normally is invulnerable to all attacks of Croc from Croc series. And to add to his perfect offensive he also has a Smash-worthy arsenal of moves. Mills keep titular Croc at a safe distance, while ground punch and forward punch can be used to deal devastating damage and if all else fails Flibby can unleash her ultimate move, flailing hands around, destroying everything in sight.
Such powerful moves come at a cost though. In one of the first implementations of stamina in video game history, Flibby will experience asthma attack whenever she overexerts herself. This is cruelly exploited by Croc by first kicking her to knock her down and then stomping her, eventually leading to her demise.
Her origin is also noteworthy as she originally lived her life as an ordinary ladybug until Baron Dante, main antagonist of the game snatched her and used his evil magic to turn the ladybug into a death machine much to her confusion and fright, which actually mirrors life of young Americans drafted to fight in Vietnam war. Thankfully being defeated by Croc broke the curse and Flibby turns back into a normal bug, and though memories of war shall never leave her, she can once again try living a regular life.
Post your fanart of this wacky cooky character below! Make sure to flood image galley every day with Flibby as well!
