Description

The Dummy Boss, internally referred to as TutorialBoss, is the final boss for the Tutorial. It has a high amount health and a quite slow speed. Additionally, as it is a boss enemy, it cannot be frozen, only gets slowed down by stunning towers like the Electroshocker and Trapper, cannot be slowed down by the Toxic Gunner, cannot be confused by the Jester, it cannot be knocked back, it cannot be slowed down by the DJ Booth and it cannot be damaged by the Nuke's fallout damage. However, since none of these effects can be used in the Tutorial, these immunities are not important.

Appearance

The Dummy Boss is a large hulking humanoid with a waist and lower arms in its rig. It has a pale green skin color, an orange torso, waist and legs, with the former having white stripes. It wears black shoes and has a black harness with white buckles. It also has black braces with white spikes and chains attached, along with indented lower arms. It also has two heads, with the left one being larger.

Whenever one of its fists hits the ground, the screen shakes. On death, the Dummy Boss will repeatedly bang its lower arms on its chest before falling forward onto the ground.

Strategy

• As this enemy only appears in the Tutorial, the only way to defeat the Dummy Boss is by placing down the Minigunner, which, of course, guarantees you to win.
  • However, poor placement of the Minigunner, Medic and Demoman may lead to the Dummy Boss reaching the end of the map.

Trivia

• The Dummy Boss has the lowest health for a major boss in the entire game.
• The Dummy Boss is the first enemy to make the screen shake without an ability.
  • The second enemy would be Patient Zero who shakes the screen whenever it takes a step after its Index Case ability is activated.
• The Dummy Boss has Stun Immunity. However, this immunity is useless as not a single tower available in the Tutorial can stun enemies, though it has use in Sandbox mode.
• The Dummy Boss's appearance is based on the Abomination from Polluted Wasteland II.
• The Dummy Boss is the first and currently only, major boss to have no abilities.
• The Dummy Boss shares its design with the Brute from Easy mode.
  • Despite sharing the same design and icon, they are two seperate enemies and therefore give two separate Logbooks.
