C.H.A.D. moves randomly around the room in cardinal directions and can perform the following attacks:

C.H.A.D. charges at Isaac whenever he lines up with one of his cardinal directions.
- Like Chub, C.H.A.D. eats any Bombs dropped in his path; stunning him for a moment before dealing considerable damage.

Notes[]

C.H.A.D is much less common than his counterpart, spawning only 1/4th as often.
C.H.A.D can spawn alongside 2 Boils or 2 Red Boom Flies.
Each segment of C.H.A.D. can be individually damaged, so a single piercing tear could hit C.H.A.D. multiple times.
- Piercing shots no longer damage segmented enemies multiple times per attack.

Trivia[]

C.H.A.D. is a cameo from Super Meat Boy, a game by Edmund McMillen.
- In Super Meat Boy, he is the boss of Chapter 2: The Hospital.

- When asked what it does stand for, Edmund jokingly replied that he can't legally say.
