Lobster Cookie

"What brings you to Sugarteara?"

- Lobster Cookie

Lobster Cookie is an Epic Cookie released on July 27th, 2020, alongside the Pet, Eerie Anglerfish. The Cookie uses the claw arm to launch forward as well as attacking, performing various techniques that culminate in a finishing move.

Story
''As long as the Crystal-Clawed Guardian draws breath, none dare endanger the Lost City of Sugarteara. Denizens of the depths have heard of Lobster Cookie's feats, but no one knows when or how the sentinel took up the vigil of defending the city. The guardian's thick hardened shell shows the immense passage of time and many a battle scar. Rumor has it that Lobster Cookie sacrificed a claw to protect the city. There is no doubt that this intrepid defender would not hesitate to sacrifice the other claw if it ensured the safety of Sugarteara. While patrolling the dark depths, Lobster Cookie catches a glimpse of a reflection in the Crystal Claw. A somber face glares back, brow furrowed in deep thought.''

What events could have called for such a great sacrifice?

Skill


A small gauge gradually fills up to create Claw Points. When the small gauge has at least one Claw Point, hold the Slide button to fill the larger Charge gauge. After the Charge gauge is full, release the Slide button to charge forward. After using all Claw Points, the next full gauge will allow Lobster Cookie to unleash a triple aerial attack. The final aerial attacks will destroy obstacles, granting points. Level Up for more points for Claw Charges and Sugar Crystal Jellies.

Lobster Cookie's Crystal Claw is strengthened, granting a more powerful charge and the ability to revive after running out of Energy. The stronger the enchanted power, the more Claw Charge Points and Energy after revival.

Strategy
 Overall rating 

Lobster Cookie is an excellent relay thanks to the Magic Candy's revival effect. While still doing well as a lead Cookie, Lobster Cookie truly shines through as a Trophy Race relay, as with many Cookies with revival effects.

Lobster Cookie is fairly simple to use, though it should be noted that the exact duration of invincibility between the uses of the skill provides just enough time to charge up another part of the skill, allowing for a smooth chain without having to worry about potentially getting hit or falling. Lobster Cookie also gains a magnetic effect at all times while sliding, making it easier to collect Jellies both above and below without potentially missing Jellies on the Jelly Trail.

Lobster Cookie, like many Cookies, will not run out of Energy during the skill, as well as gaining a few extra jumps to get back on balance. This can be utilized to keep Lobster Cookie running for a tiny bit longer at the end of a run.

Trivia

 * Lobster Cookie's Relationship Chart had the wrong quotes for Sea Fairy Cookie and Dark Enchantress Cookie when released. Sea Fairy Cookie's was "We protected the city together.

 * Lobster Cookie appears to be based on a mix of both standard red lobsters and the more rare blue lobsters.
 * When inverted, Lobster Cookie's colors are the same as Mocha Ray Cookie's standard colors.
 * Lobster Cookie's special claw appears to act as a prosthetic, and was presumably a present from Mocha Ray Cookie or someone she works for, as she is shown giving it to Lobster Cookie in the two's Bake My Day.
 * Lobster Cookie is potentially the first meat-based Cookie, though in this situation, could also be considered just another animal-based Cookie.
 * Lobster Cookie's Affection Jelly is a small lobster claw.
 * Lobster Cookie was the first Epic Cookie in over a year to be released without a Costume.
