Cacophobia is the best Isaac boss

And 99% of people who've played Isaac will never see it for themselves

It feels like it came out of a creepypasta. Thankfully the Fiend Folio mods are looking into a setting to disable its shock factor for those of us who can’t stand psychological horror.

Skill issue: It's not a flying one-eyed tomato

That's good, options are always welcome.
I hope there'll also be an option to give it boss armor or something so that it will last longer than 2 seconds on a normal non-gauntlet run. Or make it like the mines chase where you lose all your items for the duration of the fight, I'd like that.

I think the boss is actually genius.

Cacophobia is a fear of being ugly or seen as one, which explains why the boss is covered in bandages and why there are eyes everywhere. But not only that, the boss itself is actually called "Venus", like the greek goddess that is often used as a symbol of beauty and one of its forms is Venus's bust.

Ngl, it's the most unique boss in the mod, but yeah maybe it shouldn't be here at all. I still want a flying tomato demon.

Yeah it's almost too good for the game. It's extremely rare to encounter because it can only appear on scarred womb 1, and then it's rare that I'm not overpowered by then so I won't really get to appreciate it outside of the gauntlet. This is like final boss material, which makes sense considering it originally started off as a Delirium rework. In a perfect world, I imagine there would be another alt path in Fiend Folio where this boss can be the final one, perhaps instead of Mother in alt Corpse aka Morbus.
