Twisted Shrimpo

Twisted Shrimpo is largely unchanged from his Toon counterpart in terms of shape, but his hands, mouth, and the back of his head are all heavily coated in Ichor and noticeably paler. His sclera have turned red, his irises are black, and his pupils appear as red rings. His face shows signs of bruising. When chasing a Toon or reacting to a failed Skill Check, his eyes shift to an angry expression.

Twisted Shrimpo has no special mechanics. Consistent with his Toon counterpart, his speed is well below average compared to most other Twisteds. However, his Detection Range and Attention Span are both higher than the norm, making him unusually persistent once he locks onto you. Focus on turning corners quickly and maintaining distance. Avoid using small islands to break his pursuit, because even if you successfully end his chase, his slow speed means he may still be close enough to re-acquire you from behind the obstacle, leading to a gradual and potentially fatal drain on your Stamina.

If you need to distract this Twisted while more dangerous ones are also on the Floor, such as Twisted Pebble, it is advisable to have a backup distractor available or to warn your teammates to watch for him if your Stamina runs low. Even at low Stamina, Twisted Shrimpo can continue trailing you thanks to his extended attention span. Do not underestimate his slower speed — he can remain on your tail long after faster Twisteds would have given up, and this lingering pursuit can cost you a Heart if you are not careful about repositioning.

• Twisted Shrimpo has the fourth-slowest chase speed in the game at 16.5. The third-slowest group includes Twisted Coal (non-Blackout), Twisted Dandy, Twisted Dyle (minimum speed), Twisted Goob, Twisted Scraps, and Twisted Soulvester at 16. Twisted Finn is the second-slowest at 15.5, and Twisted Ginger is the slowest at 14.
• Excluding Holiday Twisteds, he has the third-slowest chase speed overall.
• He is currently the slowest Common Twisted, though his roaming speed of 9.5 is still faster than Twisted Yatta's 7.
• His low speed combined with high persistence reflects his Toon counterpart's notoriously poor stats and playability. Ironically, he is not the slowest Twisted in the game and is even faster than all Lethal Twisteds under certain conditions.
• His Brick Trinket also thematically references this underwhelming reputation.
• His left leg has a noticeable limp in his walking animation.
• Twisted Shrimpo and Twisted Teagan share similar Ichor distribution patterns — both have Ichor concentrated on their mouths and arms while the rest of their bodies remain relatively clean. The back of Twisted Shrimpo's head and the bottom of Twisted Teagan's teacup handle are also both Ichor-stained. This may be coincidental, though it could suggest a similar Ichor contamination process.
• A heart-shaped Ichor stain is visible on the back of his head. This is most likely an unintentional artifact of his UV and texture mapping, though it could be interpreted as ironic symbolism given his Toon counterpart's hostile personality. It may also be a nod to the biological fact that shrimp have their hearts located in their heads.
• When Twisted Shrimpo loses sight of a Toon, he swings his hands around frantically, showcasing his aggressive and agitated personality.
• He and Twisted Brightney are the first Twisteds whose models are entirely unchanged from their Toon counterparts aside from texture differences, with Twisted Yatta being the second. Among the three, he is the only male.
• He is among several Twisteds that display an angry attack expression when spotting a Toon.
