Cousin Roy

Cousin Roy, simply known as Roy is a defense character and the deuteragonist of Swamp Attack.

It can be unlocked in "The Y-Files".

Physical appearance
Roy is an oversized green chamelion. His lateral lines are orange and his belly is light blue. Like chameleons, Roy has a very long red tongue, which is briefly seen while he is attacking, and also has a lack of teeth. He also has yellow eyes with white pupils.

Personality
Roy is a friendly chameleon who likes to sit in several places, including the roof of Redneck's house. Instead of speaking, like animals, he just makes sounds, but this happens rarely. Like chameleons, Roy has an obsession of eating insects, but however, he also swallows other creatures besides insects, unlike real chameleons. It is possible that Roy can understand Redneck and his family, even if he is a chameleon or not.

Gameplay
Unlike most defensive characters, Roy is invincible and attacks aerial foes with tongue strikes, which can heavily damage them, if not destroy these outright - His attack cannot be avoided or blocked, which makes him useful against Flies by removing their armor.
