Rochecrossidère[1] and its icy counterpart, Ice Rochecrossidère,[1] are enemies in The Messenger. Ice Rochecrossidère is the variant found in Glacial Peak.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Rochecrossidère is a tiny brown rock ball with a face and two stubby legs. It has red eyes and a red mouth with specks of yellow. Periodically, it retracts its legs and closes its eyes, making it a total ball.
Ice Rochecrossidère is identical in appearance, but it's white like a snowball, and it has blue eyes and a blue mouth.
Abilities[]
Rochecrossidère slowly rolls around the circumference of a platform without stopping. Nothing can stop this small ball (except for death).
Trivia[]
- In the sound files, Rochecrossidère and Ice Rochecrossidère are referred to as "rollyball."
- One Rochecrossidère in a certain room of Howling Grotto is always programmed to roll into a set of spikes, where it dies.[2]
Nomenclature[]
| Language | Name | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
English | Rochecrossidère | Combination of the French word "roche" (rock), and the word "crossidère," which is a completely nonsensical word that originates from an RBO parody involving Wayne Gretsky.[3] The word "crossidère" is also an inside joke with the developers, where they replace the word "re-considère" (reconsider) with the word "re-crossidère."[4] |
