Gera
来自 Onimusha Wiki
The Gera is a low-class Genma that appears in Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. Unlike other Genma, the Gera does not appear on its own, instead only being spawned in a group of five upon the defeat of a Zolworm. While they are not particularly deadly, they can act as a significant hinderance to potential threats.
Appearance
The Gera is an extremely small sling like Genma, only being around 1ft long and up to half as tall. Its washed-out green body is comprised primarily of soft tissue, with two small tentacles attached to the front of its body that likely act to detect light while also giving it a sense of smell.
Behavior
When a Zolworm is defeated, a group of 5 Gera immediately jump out from its body, slowly moving towards any nearby threats. When a Gera detects a target, it will suddenly jump forward in an attempt to attach itself to them. While this attack does minimal damage, it will remain stuck to its target for 6-8 seconds, rendering them unable to accurately target any enemies. The Gera will soon disappear on its own, unable to attack further once attached to a target, but when the target attempts to attack or target an enemy, they will uncontrollably spin in a circle, likely attempting to shake the Gera off of their body.
However, the Gera is possibly the most fragile Genma to exist, unable to resist even the weakest attack without dying. Given its size, a Gera can even be killed by simply stepping on it, making them extremely easy to deal with when they are unable to surprise an enemy. On top of this, a Zolworm can only produce a Gera if it is defeated through standard means. If a charged attack, Oni magic or Issen defeats a Zolworm, it is unable to produce any Gera. It will also fail to produce Gera if it is killed with an explosive weapon such as Michelle's grenades.
Trivia
- The Gera is the only enemy in the entire series that can only appear through a separate enemy.
- It is also the only enemy that appears upon the death of a separate enemy
- The Gera is the only enemy in the series that can be killed without attacking, as simply stepping on it is enough to kill it.
- The Gera is one of ten non-boss Genma that can be defeated in Critical Mode without an Issen, the other nine being Babian, Battobone, Battochaika, Bera, Bhaza, Dark Spider, Gajimaro, Grizmoh and Zombie Warrior (Archer).
- For the Battobone, Bhaza, Dark Spider and Grizmoh, this only applies if they are carrying an Oni Firefly. Those that are not require an Issen to defeat in Critical Mode.
