# Characters and Enemies

The Cash Cat is the current playable character. The cat uses an automatic revolver, can jump, and becomes stronger through permanent level-up blessings

| Attribute                      | Current Value         |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------- |
| Health                         | `100`                 |
| Movement speed                 | `5`                   |
| Fire rate                      | `9` shots/sec         |
| Bullet damage                  | `18`                  |
| Bullet speed                   | `24`                  |
| Spread angle                   | `14` degrees per step |
| Maximum permanent spread pairs | `3`                   |

### Pepe

Pepe is the main wave enemy. Pepe enemies pursue the player, deal touch damage, navigate around obstacles, and scale each wave.

| Variant             | Rule                                             |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Standard Pepe       | Baseline wave enemy                              |
| Unsteady Pepe       | `20%` chance; moves at `68%` of configured speed |
| Running Jumper Pepe | `10%` chance; adds jumping behavior              |

The game recalls lost enemies that move too far from the active combat area and resets their pursuit direction.

### Swole Dog

Swole Dog is the boss enemy. It appears every five waves, uses a dedicated health bar, has `100x` the normal wave health, deals `2.35x` normal touch damage, grants `24 XP`, and drops two $CASHCAT coins when defeated

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sherwood-smash.gitbook.io/sherwoodsmash/documentation/gameplay/characters-and-enemies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
