__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Amalgamation''' is an enemy that exclusively appears in [[Polluted Wasteland II]]. It has a high amount of health and an average speed. It has one ability, when it takes damage, it will spawn up to six [[Fleshling]]s. It will also emit blood particles when it spawns a [[Fleshling]]. The '''Amalgamation''' replaces the [[Giant Boss]] in [[Polluted Wasteland II]]. The '''Amalgamation''' also has the [[Stun Immunity]] and [[Freeze Immunity]], which makes stuns only slow it down instead of fully stopping it, prevents it from being knocked back and makes it immune to being frozen or chilled. Its legacy version available in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] only does not have [[Freeze Immunity]].

The '''Amalgamation''' used to be spawned by the [[Nuclear Monster]] when it used its ''Nuclear Summon'' ability. This means it could also appear in [[Oops! All slimes!]], if spawned by the [[Nuclear Monster]]. It also could have been spawned by the [[Mystery Boss]] before the [[v1.4.2|Halloween 2022 Update]].

==Appearance==
The '''Amalgamation''' is a mutated, hulking and faceless humanoid with a waist and lower arms in its rig. It has a light red skin color and black pants. It has a bear trap shackled around its right leg and a larger bear trap fitted around its neck. It has multiple clumps of flesh and smaller humanoids on its torso and arms.

==Strategy==
*High DPS towers, such as the [[Ranger]], [[Turret]], [[Golden Minigunner]], [[Accelerator]] or [[Engineer]] are recommended to take down the '''Amalgamation'''.
**Be aware that if the [[Accelerator]]s locks on to the '''Amalgamation''', the [[Fleshling]]s that it spawns will get past the [[Accelerator]]. Due to this, placing other towers like the [[Engineer]] to kill them is highly recommended while the [[Accelerator]]s focus on killing the '''Amalgamation'''.
*The [[Commander]] can be very useful at boosting the firerate of towers, making them deal more damage against the '''Amalgamation''' and its [[Fleshling]]s.
*Slowdown towers can be useful against this, though it has multiple immunities making it harder to slow down.
**Freeze and chillness is completely ineffective against it, as it has the [[Freeze Immunity]].
**Due to its [[Stun Immunity]], it cannot be knocked back and stuns only slow it down instead of stunning it.
**It also spawns as a [[Boss]] enemy when it first spawns, making it immune to even more stalls, such as the [[DJ Booth]], [[Toxic Gunner]], [[Jester]] confusion and a stronger immunity to stun slowdown.

==Trivia==
*The '''Amalgamation''', despite never being intended to appear in a server with more than four players, has [[MEGA Servers]] health scaling. It increases its health by 150 for every player after 4 players.
**This is most likely carried over from the original [[Amalgamation (Polluted Wasteland)|Amalgamation]], which also increased its health by 150.
**Interestingly, the '''Amalgamation's''' [[Fleshling]]s, despite being an enemy unique to [[Polluted Wasteland II]] have the same health scaling as the '''Amalgamation'''. This was also most likely carried over from the original [[Amalgamation (Polluted Wasteland)|Amalgamation]].
*The [[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]] used to improperly call this enemy a [[Giant Boss]].
**This is because the [[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]]'s dialogue for [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode was not changed in [[Polluted Wasteland II]] before the [[v1.4.2|Halloween 2022 Update]].
