Babe "The Tooth" Ruthless

"'The Beast... Babe... the Tooth.'""- The Sports King"Babe "The Tooth" Ruthless, referred to only as "Babe" when fought, is a joy mutant and enemy that is fought alongside The Sports King and Ashley Hike at the end of Area 3.

In-Game
Babe is introduced shortly after The Sports King's accusation that Benny, Liam and Clyde have cheated in the tournament. He commands Ashley Hike to fetch him to which he does, bringing Babe out with a chain connected to his neck, which seems to give him some level of control over Babe.

In the Rodriguez Route, Babe makes no appearance and is mentioned only by Ashley when defeated, saying "If Babe was here, you'd be SO sorry!".

Strategy
Babe is restricted and controlled by Ashley Hike at the start of the battle, though can be freed if Ashley is killed before Babe. Breaking Babe free will allow for Babe to deal damage to The Sports King, should he be alive. Contrary to what the player may initially think, it might actually not be in their best interests to break Babe free. Due to his high attack and ability to KO any party member with his "Fatal Chomp" move, it's likely he will cause more damage alone than if Ashley were controlling him. In addition to this, his resists to many stuns makes it difficult to control him should the player start losing party members. Because of this, it is recommended that you stun Ashley Hike, who is much more vulnerable to intimidated, and deal with Babe himself after taking out The Sports King.
