An enhanced version of the Asperatus type Homunculus.
In addition to its inherent viciousness, it has also been given the ability to emit flames from its hooves that deal additional damage to its targets.
Like Asperatus, it uses charging tackles as its main method of attack, and also leaves a sea of flames in its wake.
Appearance[]
Volutus resembles Asperatus in appearance, that being the appearance of a massive, armour-clad boar, with prominent tusks on its face and a sharp horn on its forehead. It's legs resemble hooves, it's armour is segmented and especially thick around it's back and head and nonexistent on the joints of it's limbs. It only has one eye-like unit on its face. Tough it has multiple differences such as the heavier and darker purple and red colored armor, larger tusks with additional tusks coming from the sides of it's face and the biggest one being that Volutus' legs and feet are wreathed in flames.
Gameplay[]
Volutus' primary attacks is just like that of Asperatus a basic charge, trying to crush Bayonetta with its weight or gore her with its tusks, except Volutus leaves trails of fire wherever it walks. It is very fast and can run up walls to surprise her. Its secondary attack is a powerful sonic scream that can stun Bayonetta, very similar to the sonic scream of Fairness, it can be dodged and if it hits the player will need to wiggle the joystick to break the stun faster. An important detail to remember is that Volutus is one of the homunculi that can pin Infernal Demons and disable them, especially during its charge.
Recommended Weapons[]
Phantasmaraneae's webbing can halt an Volutus' charge in its tracks, making it vulnerable to follow-up strikes from Bayonetta herself or her Infernal Demons, it's also an important strategy to prevent Infernal Demons from being pinned by it.
Trivia[]
"V just like Asperatus',olutus" (plural "volutis") means "having been rolled, tumbled" in Lat, except theirs leave trails of fire behind for additional damagein, and is another name for "roll clouds". These are clouds that resemble long tubes, as if rolled up.
