—Daphne, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Daphne is a member of the Spark Hunters and a boss in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. She is a blue-haired female Rabbid with a bob cut covering her eyes. Her clothing, resembling pink petals, has a hoodie similar to a Piranha Plant's upper lip. Being half plant, she has vine tentacles. Her name is a reference to the nymph of the same name in Greek mythology, who turned herself into a tree to escape Apollo's advances. She is similar to Pirabbid Plant, a boss in the previous game, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, as they are both Rabbid bosses who have a plant theme and use vines to fight their enemies.

History

After the heroes beat Bedrock, Daphne arrives in a spaceship to retrieve her and bring her to Cursa. Daphne hands over three Sparks to Cursa who absorbs them. Later in Barrendale Mesa, Daphne takes Momma hostage, forcing the heroes to defeat Daphne to save Momma.

Battle

Like Midnite, Daphne is fought in three phases. She is on top of Momma's garage at the far end of the battlefield, prompting the heroes to make their way to her before they can attack her. Daphne attacks by shooting two targets at once, and can also use a shockwave technique which inflicts the Ooze Super Effect on nearby targets.

Profiles

Memories bio

It was on Barrendale Mesa that we crossed paths with the most vile, corrupt Spark Hunter of them all - Daphne. She toyed with us like a cat would a mouse, though she derived from neither. Cursa instead fused DNA with a rare species of pink climbing rose - those often found in secretive corners of moonlit gardens. She is sneaky, and uses her thorns well - not to defend, but to destroy.
