Characteristics edit

The choppy hopper is a green bipedal monstrous marsupial with a purple peculiar underside and a pair of long black horns on the top of its head. It wickedly wields a sharp slicing scimitar in each hand and oddly alternates between hurriedly hopping on each foot every single second in battle. Using its powerful hind legs, it can launch a deadly lunging leaping slash attack on unsuspecting adventurers, dealing extra damage.
