  • The shrinking effect lasts 5 seconds.

Notes

  • The shrinking effect does not affect bosses or mini-bosses.
  • Any enemies that are spawned from the death of a shrunken enemy do not carry over the shrunken effect.

Trivia

  • The term God's flesh is a nickname for psychedelic mushrooms.
  • In Aztec culture, hallucinogenic mushrooms were eaten during religious ceremonies. The Aztec name for these mushrooms translates to "god's flesh".
  • Using God's Flesh on a Rag Man head will shrink it and reveal that there is a very small, invisible body underneath.
  • This item may be a reference to the Shrinker (or Shrink Ray) item in Duke Nukem 3D. When used on an enemy, it shrinks into a smaller version of itself where it can be stepped on and killed.
