 * 5) Return to the saloon cellar and talk to Gary instead of killing him.
 * 6) He will now offer to join you mentioning popping.

Abilities

 * Gary knows lots of locations around the game.

Combat
Gary has the following combat abilities: 3. At level 3, he gains the Fungus Spores ability, which allows him to blast out fungus spores, reducing the       entire enemy team's stat by 3.
 * 1) Gary-Fu allows him to attack a single target multiple times, with the number of attacks based on his level, capped at 6. Damage done in each attack has some variance, and is based on (5 + the difference between his and the enemy's muscle, minus their armor), to that value + 3 (with a minimum of 1).
 * 2) Gary Grunt allows him create a copy of himself to use as a meatshield/attack. Can only be used once per fight.
 * 3) * The grunt is preferentially spawned in the front-middle spot.
 * 4) * The grunt will have 9/10 (rounded down) of his muscle, mysticality, moxie, and maximum HP.
 * 5) * The grunt will attack the front-most target using a Basic Melee Attack, with a base damage of 5 + 3 Gary's level.

Leveling Up

 * Gary can level up by eating bags of Shroom-Gro.
 * He has a base of 3*level in each state, although each level also provides an additional, variable increase to his stats, either adding (3, 2, 1), (2, 1, 3), or (1, 3, 2) to his muscle, mysticality, moxie respectively.
 * The sum of his stats per level is thus constant, at 15 level

== Notes ==
 * Gary's name means "orange blossom" in the goblin language.
 * Gary allows special interactions with almost every goblin in the game, except those found at Ol' Granddad, often allowing you to buy items from them multiple times, such as the eternal flame goblin at the Military Cemetery who will sell you goblin bratwurst after speaking with Gary.
 * Gary won't join you if you are wearing the hard hat. This decision is made by the hat.\
 * Gary speaks Goblintongue, which is awkward English with potentially alternate meanings for words (as demonstrated by Gary's name).
