Spladooshes

Spladooshes are fat Blotlings that mostly sleep and explode when agitated. If you try using Thinner on them, you will make them explode more faster. If you are near a Spladoosh when they are growing, they will explode and you will lose about two lives. But if you quickly walk away, there is a chance they will go back to sleep. If you use Paint, they will become your friend and go back to sleep. They may explode when agitated when they are your friend, but it is not likely.

Spladoosh in Tortooga

Using a TV on them will distract them; they'll lean foward and laugh occasionally. Hitting them with anything (Paint, Thinner, Spin attack) will break out of the TV trance though and will either explode in the usual fashion or continue watching if you've painted them.

Use an Anvil on them and they will explode instantly.
