Gus is one of the aliens who works for Cyrax. He is the third alien you will encounter. You first encounter him in Tank 2-3. He is immune to lasers, rendering them useless. The only way to defeat him is by feeding him until he explodes. Anything he eats, your fishes, fish food and even the Star Potion, can damage him.

Sound Description
The sound Gus makes when he spawns in.

Anatomy[]

Gus, just as the game describes him, is a baby-faced man child. Gus is a large obese peach colored alien that is rather simple in appearance. He has spiky hair on the top of his head. His face has two large white eyes, a round nose, and a mouth always seen in a smiling expression. The bottom of his body features a fish-like tail.

Story[]

THE STORY OF
GUS THE BABY-FACED MAN-CHILD
Gus
Many people wonder: What is GUS laughing about? Just what is so
funny about killing innocent fishies? He's actually not laughing
about fish. It turns out that GUS heard the following joke in 1984
and is still laughing about it: What did the daddy say to his
kid before leaving the house? Bison!

Strategies[]

General[]

Gus is normally immune to lasers and must be fed fish food. A Star Potion will cause a great deal of damage to Gus. However, Zorf, the seahorse, cannot feed Gus to kill him, because his behavior only focuses on fish. If you upgrade the fish food or having attacking pets, he is not troublesome to deal with.

Tank 5-1[]

Gus is sent by Dr. Cyrax during the final battle. Unlike most levels, one is not given fish food. If he crashes into one of your pets, Gus will explode.

Challenge Mode[]

Gus serves as one of the greatest threats in the second level. If you think Destructor isn't there, just upgrade your fish food and quantities if you see him in cloning.

Trivia[]

  • Gus is called a Type-G Alien.
    • The "G" in Type-G stands for Gus.
  • Gus cannot be hurt by lasers, but he can be damaged by Itchy, Rufus, Gash and Stanley, though he has high resistance against them.
    • However, if you can shoot him with laser in Sandbox mode if there's already an Alien before Gus, it takes 17 hits form regular laser to kill him.
    • Additionally, upon getting hit by laser, he'll play his feeding animation instead of sparkles like the rest of the Aliens, though he does sparkles when hit during Final Boss fight against Cyrax.
  • In Virtual Tank mode, you can feed him various exotic foods like fried chicken, ice cream and pizza, which you can use to kill him easily.
  • When you encounter Gus for the first time, a warning message will appear telling you that this new breed of alien can't be hurt by lasers so you will need to find another way to defeat it.
  • If timed correctly, Gus can be spawned during alien attack in Sandbox Mode. He can be hurt by lasers, and it will look like "eating" the lasers. If you spawn Bilaterus than spawn Gus, you can both shoot laser and drop food pellet.
  • You won't lose money for dropping food while Gus is in the tank.
  • He is the only alien that can be killed by eating your fishes.
  • If you spawn Gus while other alien is already spawned, he can takes damage from laser, takes 17 hits for non-upgrade laser to kill, however if you spawn Gus before any other alien, they cannot be spawned except other Gus.
  • He has a strange mouth expression in the java version, likely an art error.
