―Ugh-Zan Jr.

Ugh-Zan Jr. is a major character introduced in Serious Sam: Tormental. He is one of five playable characters in the game, along with Serious Sam, NETRICSA, Bomb, and Bad Bulb.

Biography

Ugh-Zan Jr. is the son of Ugh-Zan III (whether or not he is related to other members of the Ugh-Zan dynasty has not been confirmed so far). How he ended up in Mental's mind is not fully understood, but he has chosen not to affiliate himself with the various schemas that run amok in Mental's mind and has decided to help Serious Sam and the other heroes to find Mental's weakness from within the Mindspace and use it to cone dice a way to way to defeat him.

Appearances

Serious Sam: Tormental

Ugh-Zan Jr. is one of four characters who has to be rescued from within the Mindspace. He appears in a locked prison in the level "Mount Fury", and it cost 15 keys to unlock his cell. Once he has been rescued, the player can switch to play as him anytime in the Frontal Lobe.

Personality and skills

When Ugh-Zan Jr. is first unlocked, he will start to talk but not seriously when the player goes to his prison, he will say "PLEASE HELP LOL", and when they free him from the chains in the prison he will say "THANKS BRO" but after that he becomes an actual serious character.

He has a tendency to make jokes about hell, being a devil and hating his dad. He loves grabbing objects and enemies and tossing them around with his arms, and won’t hesitate to grab anything or anyone and he will throw everything that he comes across, should he choose to do so.

When he talks, he can be heard speaking in a deep, almost demonic-sounding masculine voice.

Powers and abilities

• Special Ability: Like the other characters, Ugh-Zan Jr. has a special ability that is unique to him, activated with the jump key. Like other abilities, it has a cooldown before it can be used again, but it is far much shorter compared to the other cooldown limit for the other character's abilities.
  • Grab/throw: Ugh-Zan Jr. has the ability to grab enemies, projectiles like bullets, objects such as chests and even the Shopkeeper. By using said action, he can throw said object at whatever he wants or happens to be in his way. Enemies and objects that have been thrown will bounce around walls and corners, dealing damage to them. This ability can be activated more rapidly compared to the other characters' special abilities, allowing the player to use it more frequently. Depending on the situation, this ability can be used to the player's advantage when a big fight occurs.

• Enhanced Strength: Easily seen as the most powerful character in the game, alongside Serious Sam, Ugh-Zan Jr. is very strong, and can easily grab enemies much larger than him and toss them around with minimal effort. Even fast enemies such as Cerebulls stand little chance against him.

Appearance

Ugh-Zan Jr. is virtually identical to Ugh-Zan III in terms of appearance, with a muscular build, 4 arms (which are typical of the Ugh-Zan dynasty), yellow eyes, black horns on his head, and large hooved feet. Unlike his father, however, he is much smaller, standing at around approximately the same height as a human, if not a bit taller than Sam.

He has a second skin, 'Charred Warlock', gives a him a more burnt appearance with black skin. His horns and wristbands are now colored red. Like other skins for the characters, it is unlocked by gathering Insight.

Trivia

• One of his death quotes is "It's better to burn out than to fade away." which is a reference to Kurt Cobain's last words before he shot himself.
• Some of his quotes are references to popular songs and bands, particularly of the heavy metal or rock genre:
  • "Beware that beast in black" is a reference to the song "Night Crawler" by heavy metal band Judas Priest.
  • "Is this the highway to hell or the stairway to heaven?" is a reference to both of the songs of the same name.
  • "Mama, I just killed a man" is one of the lyrics in "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
• While he can technically pick up almost anything in the game, he refuses to pick up NPCs as he states that they "talk too much".
  • Oddly enough, he is still able to pick up the Shopkeeper.
• If the player has Ugh-Zan Jr. pick up an object such as a rethink machine, he will be unable to toss it around and be stuck with it in his arms, rendering the player unable to use his ability unless he dies. If the player has Ankh Potions equipped, though, this can easily rectify the issue and can grab and toss things again.
• If Ugh-Zan Jr. grabs the Shopkeeper and throws it at an enemy, he will get 6 figments from the enemy that took damage, and this can be especially useful to get lots of figments in the boss rooms.
