Buckethead Imp (Timeless)

The Buckethead Imp is a very small enemy, seen mostly in the Big Wave Beach. He has the speed and abilities of a regular Imp, but bears a protective plastic bucket, granting him more health. They will mostly appear from Low Tide events, but can also appear normally ; in this case, they will only spawn in places that aren't underwater

Appearance and origins
He wears weathered swimming trunks, and a plastic bucket on his head, while most of his body has clumps of sand attached to it, sometimes containing seashells

Strategies
With his protection, he is basically an upgrade of the regular Imp, and his extra health allows him to withstand even more damage, making this zombie a real threat in levels with a lot of them. Thankfully, he does have a few notable flaws ; for example, he lacks any sort of climbing ability, due to the lack of proper structure in his home world, and will be restricted to simply running towards you without any cover, making a quick takedown possibly easier. He also has less HP under his armor, meaning piercing shots will have less troubles vanquishing him. However, these are easily outclassed by his advantages, namely a better health, allowing him to withstand several headshots and to avoid getting beaten up by most close range weapons, unlike his present day version, but also a better spawning ; they will appear else on low tides, suprising players and possibly swarming them along other zombies, or simply on the beach during waves, sometimes close to you, and having a Buckethead Imp attacking you from behind won't be a rare sighting in hard levels. To avoid this, stay aware of your surroundings, and use piercing weapons if possible to ignore his higher resistance
