Purple Baby is an Item that randomly causes some enemies to spawn shrunk, with lower HP than their default. Its effect can be considered the inverse of Beefy Enemies. Any non-boss enemy can be affected by this item, including a chasing Chunks whenever he moves between rooms.
Strategy
Purple Baby is a convenience item that can help counteract the effect of items that increase the frequency of Beefy Enemies such as Mutagen and Big Heart. Shrunken enemies are easier to defeat, though this item can't be considered a direct upgrade due to their decreased size making hitting them with more accuracy focused weapons such as the Magnum more difficult.
Trivia
- This item is based on the Green Baby from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. Its Stand power causes all objects to decrease in size the closer they are to the baby, based on the idea of Zeno's dichotomy paradox, which suggests that moving a finite distance can be described as an infinite set of increasingly smaller tasks which therefore makes movement impossible.
