Beating a boss doesn't kill it: it frees it from the Rot.
Mapinguari
Boss · belly maw, scream and the eye of the Rot

Caboclo d'Água
Caatinga boss · flood, whirlpool and drag; flees from figureheads
Guardian of the São Francisco River: he capsizes the canoes of those who mistreat the river. Boatmen put carved figureheads on their bows to scare him away. The Rot brought him to the dry backlands.

Forest Guardian is a survival roguelite inspired by Brazilian folklore. Players only move; weapons attack on their own and every level brings a card that changes the run. Fire, Ice, Lightning and Wind combine into six elemental reactions. The Curupira, the Iara, the Saci and other legends are the heroes; the bosses, like the Mapinguari, have been taken by the Rot and are set free when defeated. All the art and music are generated by code, with a single in-house palette.
