Midas (Nitrome)

King Midas is the first Boss in Double Edged.

Appearance
King Midas appears to be made out of gold, as he is completely gold covered. Other than that, King Midas looks like a regular king. He has a gold crown, and a moustache. He also has dark eyes. He is about as tall as the players, and is pretty easy to defeat.

Battle
King Midas is encountered at the end of level 1-2, appearing as a slow walking gold coloured man. His only attack is to turn characters (enemies, player, animals) to Golden Statues. Due to all weapons requiring the player to get close to there victim, the player can only harm Midas by chucking the Gold Statues of his victims.

If the player gets to close to Midas, or attempts to attack him with handheld weaponry (minus Rocks), Midas will turn the player to a gold statue. Gold Statues of his victims are encountered throughout level 1-2, indicating Midas walked this path through the forest.

LoreEdit
According to some of the enemies, he goes mad with his gold touch power and starts turning everything to gold.

TriviaEdit

 * In Greek Mythology, King Midas had the ability to turn things to gold. He wasn't actually golden or made of gold. This was probably added to illustrate his love of gold.
