__TOC__

==Description==
The '''Mystery Summoner''', formerly the '''Mystery Boss''', is a boss [[Enemies|enemy]] that summons [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and rarely [[Mystery Boss]]es. With the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier active, it spawns [[Breaker2]]s and rarely [[Breaker4]]s. The '''Mystery Summoner''' does not spawn into anything when it is killed. 

The '''Mystery Summoner''', while having more health than the [[Speedy Boss]], is slower than it. However, its main threat is the [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Mystery Boss]]es, or the [[Breaker2]]s and [[Breaker4]]s that it spawns. It also previously had [[Freeze Immunity]].

==Appearance==
{{Tabber
|Current
|The current version of the '''Mystery Summoner''' was identical to its previous version, except it lacks a mouth.
|Version 2
|The second version of the '''Mystery Summoner''' had lime green skin and walked hunchbacked. Its torso and legs were marble green and it wore marble dark green shoes. On its torso was a glowing green question mark. It also wore a light green cape. It had grey diamond-plated armbands and dark green wrappings around its left arm. It had menacing glowing green eyes, a drooling zombie face and it wore a green bowler hat. It held a mystery staff to summon enemies. It had a twisted left leg.
|Version 1
|The original version of the '''Mystery Summoner''' had light green skin, its torso was marble green and its legs were dark marble green. On its torso was a glowing green question mark. It had green glowing eyes, had a drooling zombie face, had green diamond-plated armbands, and wore a green bowler hat. It also carried a mystery staff to summon enemies.

==Strategy==
*A couple of high DPS towers such as [[Minigunner]]s, [[Turret]]s, [[Accelerator]]s or [[Ranger]]s can kill this easily.
**Additionally, you should use the [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]] to boost these towers.
*Try to kill the '''Mystery Summoner''' before it spawns a horde of [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Mystery Boss]]es, which may cause serious problems as they can spawn [[enemies]] with high health, such as the [[Slow Boss]] and the [[Speedy Boss]].
**For maps that have a distance between the entrance and where the main towers are, this enemy may pose a threat.
*Treat the '''Mystery Summoner''' like the [[Necromancer (Legacy Enemy)|Necromancer]]. Subdue the enemies it spawns, then focus on the boss.
**For this reason, the [[Rocketeer]], [[Mortar]] and [[Demoman]] can be quite useful against the '''Mystery Summoner''' as they can harm the enemies it spawns in large numbers.
**Piercing towers like [[Archer]] or [[Shotgunner]] can also damage most or all of the enemies spawned if positioned correctly.

==Trivia==

*There was a short period of time when the '''Mystery Summoner''' was added (then called the '''Mystery Boss''') where it was called the [[Speedy Boss]] due to a bug.
*Prior to the [[v1.1.0|Entity System Update]], summoned [[enemies]] from the '''Mystery Summoner''' were called "''Mystery Boss's'' ______" instead of "''Mystery Summoner's'' ______".
*The question mark on the '''Mystery Summoner''' is a re-textured version of the {{RLinkC|1028826|Question Mark}} accessory from the Roblox catalog.
**The bowler used by the '''Mystery Summoner''' is the {{RLinkC|23962549|Kilty McJig's Irish Bowler}} accessory from the Roblox catalog.
