Gnasty Gnorc. Well, the name did seem to fit the monstrosity in front of her. 

Shantae turned her attention back to Moneybags to see him try to flee the arena, only for him to meet Steve's fist and be sent flying. It was sort of satisfying to see him get what he deserved. The half-genie hero was also relieved to see that Sparx left the arena successfully, and kept in mind that she needed to go to the Save Point Inn to check on him later, once this skirmish was all over. 

However, things seemed to take a turn for the worse when Gnasty Gnorc transformed into an uglier brute than any of the monsters or Barons she faced before. She called to Steve, who was busy building a hut around the table, "[color=gold]Steve! Take cover, now![/color]" before he shot the missiles at the heroes. She practiced what she preached and knocked the prize table over, sending all of the prizes to the ground, and used it as additional cover. As of right now, she didn't exactly put a lot of faith in Steve's building skills. 

She may not know what those protrusions did, but it didn't take a genius like her Uncle to figure out that you wouldn't want to be hit by them. After the attack seemed to be done, she peeked over the table and saw that the minions who were hit had mutated and turned into more of little monsters themselves. She was ready to leap above the table and start the fight, when she noticed that Steve was more occupied with the thief. With the way she saw it, there was no point in fighting the thief now. Sparx was gone and safe from said thief. They didn't really need the prizes that were offered, did they? She told him, "[color=gold]Don't worry about that now! We've got bigger fish to fry right now![/color]" 

She noticed that a gentlemanly figure had gone up to face Gnasty Gnorc himself. Was he going to be okay? She wanted to go up there and help him fight the giant, but she also noticed another figure calling for everyone to help him lead the bystanders out of the arena. Of course the half genie hero wasn't going to ignore the innocent people here either. So she decided to follow that order and lead the bystanders to him. After that, she'll go and face Gnasty Gnorc as well. 

She called to the man who called out the order "[color=gold]Got it![/color]" She then spotted the closest bystanders, and hurried over to them. If any of the minions got in her way, she would have hit them with a hair whip in an attempt to knock them down and out of the way, or just simply jump over them. Once she reached the bystanders she told them, "[color=gold]Come on! You gotta get out of here! Follow me![/color]" Then she would have led the bystanders to Robin, attacking any of the minions who came close in order to attack her or the bystanders.
