Briefing: The proposed boss for this level is the Desert Cat. Design is being worked on by andy_k_250 and Attacks are completed by MarioE and are finalized. Name has not been finalized yet.
Extras
I should have something witty to put here (even if it's just to update dated info), shouldn't I?

This little furball currently spawns the wrong sprite (00 instead of, I assume should be B5-B6.) We also need to figure out how the boss needs to be placed into the level so we can try it out.
I'll get to setting this up for the next base ROM update. Chanagaburu drew some graphics for it, but I don't have them nor do I believe they were ever submitted to anyone except for MarioE, so we might need to work around that.
I sent the graphics to andyk since we had a short discussion about it, since apparently he was also going to make them. I told him that he can edit them to his liking so they look more appealing.Just back here to browse a bit.
I plan on finally getting to work on this. Sorry I've been so lazy.
I'm reposting Smallhacker's concept art here for reference points:
As for the name of the boss, It may be Cat-A-Comb.I'm sorry, but I'm not good at SMW hacking, so I gave up on it. That means I'm leaving SMWCentral. Bye!
Oh Christ, that's painful even by my standards.
Let's keep the pain going, I suggest we call him The Ferocious Fur-aohI wonder what a HFD opcode would do in ASM...
Apparently, the cat is supposed to be female, according to Leod.
I actually like the two previous suggestions, especially Cat-a-comb. Catacombette, maybe?
Something playing off of Sphynx might also be cool, like Madam Mynx or something like that (since manx is a cat breed).
Also, apparently the Ancient Egyptian word for cat is "mau." Madam Mau?

I'd go with Madam Mau, personally.
The cat should be named Field of Spears, and should be at its weakest when battled at the start of the work week, but gather strength from consuming prepared dishes based on wide, flat strips of unleavened dough.

whenever I hear Madam, I think of a more oriental/french culture rather than desert.
Why not go with the Cliche Cleo-Cat-ra
(ooh, tatrion is on)I wonder what a HFD opcode would do in ASM...
I like the Madam Mau idea for the name.
Andy are you still working on gfx for this? Do you have anything to show us?
Layout by LDA during C3.
Cleo-Cat-Ra is one of the best ideas I have seen. Also I want to see this boss in action.
Memo to self:
Code
<SNN> it's like, two attacking frames, two frames holding the staff up,
a flinch frame, a 16x16 ball of yarn, 16x16 block of sand
<SNN> based off of smallhacker's concept art and such
