Spatter image

The lowest Blotling is the Spatter.

The Blotlings are the essential backbone of the Shadow Blot's army. Like the Shadow Blot, they are creations of paint and thinner and are vulnerable to the two substance. Also the lost characters are somewhat a kind of blotlings but they can't be defeated with paint or thinner.



Info

Blotlings come in different varieties, and there are also different varieties within those. Although all of the Blotlings serve the Shadow Blot, some are direct spawn of him, while others are former inhabitants of the Cartoon Wasteland turned into blotlings. They can be found everywhere in the Wasteland, except in Mean Street, probably because this sector is under the protection of Oswald. They're very aggressive creatures, the fact is that they attack anything that is not a blotling.

Fate

The fate of the remaining blotlings is unknown. It has been proven that there are some left, evidenced by Animatronic Donald being tormented by a spatter blotling if the player chooses not to repair him during the ending cutscene. The Shadow Blot can be one of the surviving blotlings if the player chooses to befriend him with paint. It is also important to know that since paint rains down on Wasteland during the ending of the game, all remaining blotlings may have been befriended, minus the one seen gnawing on Animatronic Donald'sglass dome during the bad ending. If the player chooses to befriend the blotlings during the battle in Mean Street, an NPC will remark that he encountered a befriended blotling that walked up to him then walked away.

Gameplay

Mickey Mouse has the choice of either destroying a Blotling with thinner or turning it ally with the player using paint. Mickey can also use Bunny Children to devour the blotlings for him. Also, a large magority of them can be defeated using the spin move of Mickey to throw them into an nearby thin pool.

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

In Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, the new Blotling, the Dropwing, replaces the Seer from the first game. Also, one-eyed Spatters appear in the game, controlling Blotworx from the inside. In the sequel, neither the Fake Shadow Blot nor the Bloticles reappear. So it appears the Paint rain didn't turn them all good or they somehow got tuned back to their evil way of living. However the new Blotling, the Dropwing, replaces the Seer and the one-eyed spatter may mean that those aren't the same one's in the first game. Perhapes the transformed toons can spawn blotlings themselves or some of the purple plot plubs were left after the Paint rain and spawned new blotlings. The originals were either hiding out, killed off or migrated to get away. Or maybe the Beettleworx turned them back. It's show in the first game that damage from an evil blotling will turn back a friendly blotling. We can suppose the blotlings driving the Blotworx is a sign that they have been enrolled by the Mad Doctor and are under his control or that of another. Apart from that there is no difference on how to fight them, you can even use Oswald's electricity to stun them for a while.

List of Blotlings

Trivia

  • Apparently, the remaining Blotlings in the end of Epic Mickey were not affected by raining paint at the end of the game and wandered wasteland until they found homes in Blot Alley and Disney Gulch.
  • If the player chooses to befriend the blotlings during the battle in Mean Street, an NPC will remark that he encountered a befriended blotling that walked up to him then walked away.
  • If you use Thinner on a blotling it will melt into the ground. They way they melt, if reversed, may look like the way Spatters had spawned in earlier concept art by appearing as a bubbling dark pile then jumping out of the ground.
  • A painted blotling, although will not directly target Mickey, but can hit Mickey which will cause damage if he gets in the way of an enemy blotling that has been targeted by the friendly blotling.
  • Blotlings with red eyes are much more dangerous than green-eyed Blotlings. They first appear after you come back from the Jungle and return to Tortooga (if you didn't get Starkey to leave the Jungle: by not defeating all the Beetleworx and Spladooshes). All Red-eyed Blotlings are also in the final levels (including, "Inside the Blot").
