YE OLD SPROUT

You killed me...

— YE OLD SPROUT

YE OLD SPROUT is an enemy in OMORI. He serves as the tutorial boss fight for OMORI and his friends to overcome when on their way to visit BASIL'S HOUSE in VAST FOREST during the PROLOGUE.

PROFILE

APPEARANCE

YE OLD SPROUT appears to be a large, elderly SPROUT MOLE with leaves for a mustache and a large stem. He is noted by SPROUT MOLE MIKE to be a father figure and inspiration to all SPROUT MOLES around the SPROUT MOLE VILLAGE community.

PERSONALITY

Although not much is known about him, YE OLD SPROUT was described as a warm and gentle soul towards his fellow SPROUT MOLES. His FOE FACTS! entry reveals that he enjoys all life in the forest. While not maintaining balance in the forest, he enjoys sitting.

YE OLD SPROUT is also loved by many SPROUT MOLES. This even extends to SPROUT MOLE MIKE holding a moment of silence for him in SWEETHEART'S CASTLE. However, when interacting with him in the GLITCH MAP, YE OLD SPROUT expresses his bitterness towards OMORI for killing him.

STORY

YE OLD SPROUT is encountered when OMORI and friends travel to BASIL's house during the PROLOGUE. He blocks the way and must be killed to pass by. He also serves as the first enemy where the party can unleash their RELEASE ENERGY move to finish him off.

During the intro to SWEETHEART's show, SWEETHEART'S QUEST FOR HEARTS, SPROUT MOLE MIKE holds a moment of silence dedicated to YE OLD SPROUT, who he eulogizes as a father figure and inspiration to the SPROUT MOLE VILLAGE community. He can also be refought in the BOSS RUSH simulator run by BOSS in HUMPHREY, only on ONE DAY LEFT of the OMORI ROUTE.

In the GLITCH MAP event from BLACK SPACE 2, where multiple characters from HEADSPACE flicker around in a black void, YE OLD SPROUT appears on the right side of the screen spinning endlessly. Interacting with him makes him mention that you killed him.
