The “Bubomic” Rat throws exploding poison rats at the enemies, but often suffers from people thinking her name is a typo!

You can make content specifically available to crawlers, but not other people. This is also why sites like archive.is can pull paywalled content for you, by acting like a crawler

Funny that we all know exactly what you’re talking about with no extra context needed. That boss is brutal
