First Demo Appearance	May 2019 Patreon Demo

Pencer is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Pencer is a yellow-orange pepper with thin arms and legs wearing a white ruff and shiny grey conquistador helmet, with his brown stem sticking right out of it. Under his yellow-orange-pupiled eyes are a black cut mustache and goatee surrounding his often nervously bitten mouth. He is often seen wielding a rapier with a gray handle and white blade.

Pencer is an actor so into his role that he'll legitimately attack the player on sight. When defeated, Pencer carries a rose often seen at funerals for dramatic effect.

Behavior

"This conquistador looking character is actually an actor. He is so much in character that he will charge at you on sight."
— The manual.

Pencer stands in place, charging at the player when spotted. After spotting the player, he will never stop moving.
