Eggplant/HD

The Eggplant is a strange object that appears when a Mystery Box is placed on a sacrificial Altar. Once the Eggplant appears, the current level's background music changes to a strange chiptune-style piece. If it is thrown at King Yama's face during the battle, it will transform him into a giant, immobile Eggplant with only one hit point, making the remainder of the battle a cinch, but of course this is offset by the difficulty of escorting the Eggplant into Yama's throne room to begin with.

The Eggplant is a strange object that appears when a Mystery Box is placed on a sacrificial Altar. Once the Eggplant appears, the current level's background music changes to a strange chiptune-style piece. If it is thrown at King Yama's face during the battle, it will transform him into a giant, immobile Eggplant with only one hit point, making the remainder of the battle a cinch, but of course this is offset by the difficulty of escorting the Eggplant into Yama's throne room to begin with. For over a year after Spelunky's release, the function of the Eggplant was the game's greatest mystery. It wasn't until Spelunky was released for the PC that fans were able to hack the game to discern its function. Avih20 was the first to defeat King Yama using an eggplant in a co op game. On November 10, 2013, Bananasaurus_Rex was the first to defeat King Yama using an eggplant in a single player game. File:Eggplant Monster.gif Spelunky's creator Derek Yu has referenced several other games and movies in Spelunky, which has led some to believe the Eggplant is either a reference to the Nintendo game Ice Climber, which prominently features an Eggplant at the top of the mountain. This is further reinforced by the Eskimo Spelunker bearing an uncanny resemblance to Nana from Ice Climber. Alternatively, it may be a reference to the Eggplant Wizard from the Nintendo game, Kid Icarus.
