Herbert, as she appears in The Legend of Dark Witch 2

Herbert is a curious researcher debuting as a boss in The Legend of Dark Witch 2. She is the leader of Ich.
Appearance and Personality
Herbert is a mechanical humanoid with long purple "hair", drill ears, and peg-like feet. Her body contains several thrusters that allow her to take flight. She wears Syega on her wrists and has an additional crystal embedded in her "hair."
Herbert is a stern, somewhat preachy alchemy researcher. She has a bit of a curious streak, taking an interest in Zizou Olympia's ability to wield magic. She is apparently fond of Klinsy, and is on friendly terms with Pelusa despite serving a rival nation.
History
The Legend of Dark Witch 2
Herbert is one of the initial eight bosses; she is fought at the end of the Maya Caves.
She repeats the following attacks in order:
- Herbert summons two character-sized pillars on either side of the player that quickly slide into each other. In addition to dealing damage, the pillars block the player's shots.
- Herbert uses her thrusters to fly into the air, before divebombing the player. The amount of time that she spends in midair varies based on difficulty.
- Starting at yellow health, Herbert slowly rises to the top of the arena, then summons bombs that rain down on the player. The number of bombs vary based on difficulty; on Lunatic, she is completely invincible during this attack.
- Herbert's Revenge Magic is Overhelm. She summons a barrier that absorbs several of the player's shots. However, the player has a few seconds to freely attack her before she resumes her attack pattern, making it possible to destroy the barrier immediately after it is summoned. Additionally, once Overhelm is damaged, it will slowly degrade on its on until it breaks.
Herbert's weakness is Boing Boing, which deals significant damage and stuns her. However, it is best to use a standard weapon to break Overhelm, as Boing Boings generally aren't fast enough to break the barrier before she resumes her attack pattern.
Defeating Herbert gives the player Overhelm.
