Temperance is a mini-boss in the mod God's Gambit, and is the virtuous counterpart to Gluttony.
Behavior
Temperance wanders randomly around the room, leaving a long-lasting trail of green creep, and performs the following attacks:
- Produces a large pool of green creep underneath himself and spawns 1-3 Small Leeches and several green projectiles in random directions.
- If aligned cardinally with Isaac, Temperance may:
- Lay on his belly and slide towards Isaac until he hits a wall. During the slide, Temperance constantly trails creep while shooting short-ranged green projectiles around himself.
- Throw a volley of several green projectiles towards Isaac and spawns 1-3 Small Leeches.
Notes
- All green projectiles spawned by Temperance create a puddle of creep upon landing.
- Small Leeches spawned by Temperance are able to swim in his creep if there is no water in the room, gaining a boost of speed.
- All creep created by Temperance will immediately dissipate if the room has water.
Trivia
- Temperance is a personification of one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Temperance is described as the ability to consciously control one's impulses, to restrain one's self from making rash actions that would harm one's self or others, and to avoid indulgence and excess.
- Considering Temperance's visual appearance, it plays a picture of how this virtue can ironically be taken to an extreme excess — a Gluttony that has become starved of his ability to fulfill his needs through the removal of his arms and his orifices being stitched shut, and that has become host to parasites that take advantage of his inability/unwillingness to provide for himself before others.
