Coolie is an enemy which appears in Shadow Warrior Classic and its expansions Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon.
Overview[]
These unskilled Asian workers pose little threat from long range, but fear them at short distances. They carry a wooden crate filled with TNT, and will make kamikaze runs at you when you get close enough.
Not content with attacking you once, some Coolies will spawn a spectral ghost after their great sacrifice. These apparitions will float around, phasing in and out of existence, heaving nasty gobs of bloody goo at you.
Design[]
Coolies wear brown withered clothes, chain bracelets on their wrists and ankles, and conical rice hats. They walk barefoot, have undead-like green skin and glowing white eyes. They always carry a box full of TNT. When in sight, one of the TNT sticks' fuse starts to burn.
Coolie Ghosts are skeletal in appearance, without a lower body half, the upper half wrapped in randomly scattered layers of thin red ectoplasm, also having glowing bright red eyes, a thin Asian black ponytail, and they wear chain bracelets on their wrists.
Strategy[]
Normal Coolies are best to take out from afar. You can use their explosives to destroy groups. Whenever applicable, use the katana to cut up a dead Coolie's body to prevent a Coolie Ghost from appearing.
When the Ghost is spawned, wait until it phases into existence and shoot him from afar or use the Katana for a quick execution, always ready to evade its nasty red projectiles.
