Donu & Deca naming
Donu looks like a donut, so that makes sense. But Deca appears to be an octahedron?!

Always thought the same thing. My guess is devs got octahedron confused with decahedron.

If you're gonna be like that then really deca is a icosagon.

How so? Looks like a (2-d projection of an) octahedron (plus arms and legs) to me.

My bad, it's actually an icositetragon.
How so, you ask? You answered your own question in your post.

An icositetragon you say? Okay, we're good, I just didn't want to get pedantic by including the arms and legs :D

Unless the limbs have 3 sides. Thx camera. :^)

But seriously, I don't feel like the arms and legs have a high importance to the characters identities. I view Deca as an octahedron with limbs, just like Donu is a donut with limbs.

Maybe Deca is an ironic nickname, like Little John.

It already been said several times in the past that it was a tongue in cheek joke. This boss fight represent a donut and a coffee (decafeinated coffee)...

I like it! Though I'm still curious why coffee would be represented by an octahedron...
