Dead Ahead Wiki

Princess is a girl dressed in a white dress and a red hair hoop.

Princesses only appear during the Princess Rescue event and rescuing them is the main goal of the event.

Princess is a unique character gameplay-wise as she is the only true neutral entity in the entire game – she doesn't attack zombies nor players' stationary units and the bus. Therefore, she can ignore objects in her path and is capable of being attacked and killed by zombies and the player.

She can only be harmed by players if:

Nitrogen can also freeze her when activated near her. Otherwise, Princess is immune to fire pools (and consequently, Paramedic's lightning attack as part of her fire resistance) and Turret's bullets can't damage her.

Because of her fire resistance, her body cannot be fully destroyed and her corpse cannot be burnt when it's on the floor, meaning players will have to deal with her once she turns.

Abilities[]

  • Fire resistance.
  • Unable to attack.
  • Avoids enemies and heads directly to the bus.
  • Turns into Witch upon death.

Trivia[]

  • Princess is treated by the game as a marauder – it's the reason why she can be hurt by rage abilities and zombies. This can be found out via debug mode: spawning a Princess with any human unit on field will make them attack her.
  • In the game files, she is referred to as "Toadstool," which is a reference to Princess Peach from the Mario franchise.
  • The counter near the top right corner of the screen during the event depicts her without her red hair hoop.
  • Fear can affect Princess. However, it has no effect since she can't attack and doesn't stop moving.
  • Before getting reworked, Princess had a unique form of fire resistance which allowed her to walk through fire pools, such as throwing a Molotov directly at her.
