King Baby

King Baby is an unlockable passive item added in Afterbirth †.
Effects[edit | edit source]
- Grants a familiar that follows Isaac and always appears first in the familiar chain.
- While firing tears, King Baby stops moving and glows white.
- While King Baby is stationary, other familiars remain stationary as well. Shooting familiars will fire tears in the direction the player is firing.
- When Isaac stops firing tears, King Baby moves rapidly back towards Isaac.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- King Baby will move back towards Isaac during Isaac's hurt animation, even if a fire button is still being held.
Abel will still reflect Isaac's movements, and not King Baby ones.
