Major Bosses

Shubangelion

Main article: Shubangelion

Shubangelion is a creation by Oozora Subaru within the Hololive Minecraft Server. Its inspiration and namesake are the Evangelions from the anime franchise of the same name.

Spiderchama

Main article: Spiderchama

Spiderchama is one of Nanashi Mumei's creations, this one specifically inspired by Haachama and her association with spiders. It is also referred to as TaranChama.

Canon Fan Mascots

This category consists of enemies that are directly based on official fan mascot design use by Hololive Talents.

List of canon fan mascot designs: Matsurisu, Haaton, Rosetai, Shiokko, and Subatomo.

Matsurisu

Matsurisu drinking Beer

Matsurisu are fans of Natsuiro Matsuri. Their name is a portmanteau combining Matsuri and "Listeners" (リスナー, Risunā), the Japanese term for viewers. Since risu can mean squirrel (栗鼠, risu) in Japanese, her mascot is made to look like a squirrel.

Not to be confused with Risuners which are fans of Ayunda Risu.

Haaton

Haachama and an IRL Haaton

Haaton are the fans of Akai Haato. Their name is a pun combining Haato and Ton (豚) means pig in Japanese, which is reflected in their mascot. Haatons' pig appearance and stitched decapitated head are part of their image as plaything for Haato's old tsundere persona, although they retain that characterization after the Haachama transition.

Rosetai

Rosetai in their natural habitat

Rosetai are the fans of Aki Rosenthal. Their name is a combination of Rose (the shortened form of Rosenthal) and tai (隊) which means team/group/corp. Their mascot being apple knights is due to it being Aki's fan mark 🍎 which itself is chosen due to a multitude of reasons relating to Aki's rose motif.

• Version 0.6 introduced the Charge variant as an enemy in Stage 3 (Hard). This variant alongside Stage 4 final boss Moontato and Stage 3 (Hard) final boss Nurse Calli are the first enemies with the Charging attack pattern.

Shiokko

Shion outfit with Shiokko

Shiokko (塩っ子) are the fans of Murasaki Shion. Their name is a combination of the kanji 塩 that can be read as Shio, and 子 (ko), which means child, which is why their official English's name is Shio-ldren (a play on Shion and children). Note that Shion's name is spelled as シオン, so the kanji was likely chosen purely for its specific sound. The design being a cat is an direct allusion to Shion's lore where she is a witch.

Subatomo

Subatomo are fans of Ozora Subaru. Their name is a combination of Subaru and Tomo (友, Friend). When they were introduced in Update 0.5 in 2023, their in-game design was a direct recreation of the Subaru Duck, or "Shubaduck" (See: Shubaduck). However, after Subaru revealed the official version of the Subatomo mascot in February 2025, the new mascot was added to the game as part of Hotfix 21 of Update 0.7 less than a week after its reveal.

• Subatomo is the first fan mascot to be added in a hotfix. All previous sprite changes were added as part of a major update.
• Ahijo are the name use for Subaru's most dedicated fans. The term was chosen by her fans, which is taken from a Spanish shrimp dish which happens to also rhyme with Ahiru (家鴨, Duck)
• Shubaduck, alongside Tokino Sora's Ankimo, Amelia Watson's Smol Ame, Kureiji Ollie's Udin and Sakura Miko's Mikodanye, made their real life appearance at Hololive Super Expo 2022 event as full size mascots, and were revealed at the opening ceremony alongside YAGOO.

• While it isn't a full mascot, the Nakirigumi does have a fan mark to represent themselves. The fan mark look similar to the 😈 Devil Emoji but cuter and more simplified and the mark is frequently used by Ayame as the thumbnail for her Members Only Streams.

Otaku

Main article: Stage 2/Design reference and trivia § Otaku

Otaku are enemies introduced in Version 0.5 for Stage 3 and Stage 2 (Hard). They are a representation of the Hololive reddit communities in general, and concert-going fans in particular. They were also considered the unofficial version the Tatsunoko, the fandom of former hololive talent Kiryu Coco until the introduction of actual Tatsunoko enemies in Version 0.7.

Kapu-min

Aqua Crew and Ichimi being shipped by their oshis.
Note the text for Aqua Crew read:
(masculine) We are highschool girls (俺たちJK, Ore-tachi JK)

Aqua Crew members are the fans of Minato Aqua. Their appearance in game is likely based on Aqua's Neko mascot.

• Like Suisei, Aqua has expressed no desire to give her fanbase a mascot, instead choosing to pretend they are a bunch of highschool girls, despite the disproportionate number of them being male.

Choco Mate

Choco mate are fans of Yuzuki Choco. Their in-game design is likely a simplified version of Chocolat. The chocolate naming scheme (Choco, Chocolat, Chocomate) is due to Choco's association with Valentine's Day, with her birthday being February 14.

• There is a canonical version of the Choco Mate fan mascot introduced in Choco's 5th anniversary stream where she organized a design contest for a Chocomate design. The bat-like butler design was the final winner and had since appeared in several of Choco's official media.

Spiderchama Hatchling

Spiderchama Hatchlings are original to HoloCure. As the name implies, they are the spawn of Spiderchama.

• They are one of the enemies to not have an entry in the Fan Letter bestiary.

Cursed Bubba

Main article: Stage 1/Design reference and trivia § Thicc Bubba

Cursed Bubba is a HoloCure original variation of on Amelia Watson's Thicc Bubba mascot. The Cursed Bubba first appeared in the Launch version of HoloCure as enemies that appeared alongside Stage 1's final boss Smol Ame, while the regular Thicc Bubba served as the representation for Ame's fanbase, the Teamates.

With the introduction of the Investi-gator Teamates in Version 0.4, the Cursed Bubbas in Stage 1 were replaced by normal Thicc Bubbas, which left the Cursed Bubba enemy unused until Version 0.6, where it would reappear as part of the Halloween Myth (Myth or Treat) half of Stage 3 (Hard).
