The Cancerous Rodent is a secret boss in 1-2: The Burning World. The song that plays during the encounter is titled "Theme of Cancer".
The Cancerous Rodent is a collection of roughly 15 polygons vaguely arranged in the shape of a mouse. It has no attacks and a negligible amount of health.

Appearance/Details

Cancerous Rodent is a collection of roughly 15 polygons vaguely arranged in the shape of a mouse. It is found at the end of a tunnel Inspired by Civvie's Dungeon intro with the combat taking place at its end. It slowly moves towards V1. It is the weakest enemy in the game, with the lowest health and no attacks. Despite the Rodent being incredibly weak, it is a herald of what's to come, as killing it and moving back out of the Dungeon will pit you against the Very Cancerous Rodent, a boss that poses some amount of a threat to V1.

Behavior

The Cancerous Rodent slowly moves towards the player, even through walls. Nothing happens if it comes in contact with the player. It cannot move vertically.

Strategy

Due to its incredibly small amount of health, the Cancerous Rodent is instantly killed by any attack, excluding explosions, the Whiplash, and ground slams. It cannot be targetted by ricoshots, making them unviable against the Cancerous Rodent. It is recommended to simply shoot the Cancerous Rodent with your Revolver, as a quick hitscan attack with perfect accuracy is perfect for its small size.
