Stoveface is one of the 31 Playable Characters in the game Castle Crashers. Their magical attacks are Non-Elemental and their starting weapon is the Gladiator Sword.
Information[]
Visual Description[]
The Stoveface is dressed in dark grayish armor. As their name suggests, they wear a helmet with 4 possible small rust marks or scratches on their upper laterals; 3 being in the left, and 1 in the right, with an extra stove-like face-helm resembling a rhombus with 4 horizontal stripes and 3 vertical stripes, along with other metallic features, and a thinner one in the middle of the helm. Their eyes can be seen through the eye-slit of the helmet. Their arms and legs also have darker textures than the rest of their armor.
In their portrait, their eyes are glowing, and part of their cuirass is shaped like a ladder, similar to those on the Necromancer and the Conehead.
Enemy Stovefaces wield the Gladiator Sword or Butcher Knife; however, Stovefaces will only wield the Butcher Knife in Castle Crashers Remastered. Both Playable and Non-Playable Stoveface characters are equipped with a black shield with a protruding spike appendage.
Castle Crashers[]
The Stoveface stands in the way of the player on the Full Moon level, where they make their first and only appearance in the game. A large army of them will attack the player as the player attempts to scale the mountain, joined by Iceskimos at the end of the level.
