Carrion Queen
Carrion Queen is a boss found in The Catacombs. She is the posthumous version of Chub. She has a skeletal appearance and is only vulnerable in the leftover flesh at her behind.
Behavior[edit | edit source]
- Like Chub, Carrion Queen will charge at Isaac in a straight line.
- Like Chub, if a bomb is dropped in front of a charging Carrion Queen, she will eat it, which temporarily stuns her and deals damage after a short delay.
- She will also spawn Red Poop, which will deal half a heart of damage to Isaac upon touching.
- When below half health, Carrion Queen will begin to move diagonally, similar to The Hollow, but without flight. She will no longer spawn red poop while roaming diagonally, nor will she charge in a straight line at Isaac.
Champion Versions
[edit | edit source]
- Pink: Carrion Queen moves slightly quicker, has 100% more HP (700) and spawns small Hearts instead of Red Poop. The hearts have 28 HP and killing them deals 40 damage to Carrion Queen. She does not bounce diagonally around the room when below half health.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- Piercing tears make the fight much easier, as tears can pierce Carrion Queen's invulnerable segments and hit her vulnerable segment.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Carrion Queen was added in the Wrath of the Lamb DLC for the original The Binding of Isaac.
- Carrion is another word for the rotting flesh of a dead animal, often eaten by scavengers like vultures, coyotes, maggots, etc. [1]
- The name "Carrion Queen" could be inspired by a level of Super Meat Boy under the name "King Carrion".
- Despite the Carrion Queen being an invertebrate, or an animal lacking a skeleton of bones, she has a skeletal appearance.
- During the death animation, the Carrion Queen's head doesn't burst into blood. Instead, it flattens and instantly disappears.
