3 — Glucosamine Desert

Supplement-themed stages between very easy and easy. Propolis Oasis and Hyaluronan Mountain carry the only real teeth.

Named, stage by stage, after supplement-aisle compounds — Chondroitin, Sesamin, Isoflavone, Catechin, Lycopene, Propolis, Peptide, Hyaluronan. The difficulty matches the joke: mostly trivial, with two flagged exceptions. Propolis Oasis pairs Celeboodles with a Master A., and Hyaluronan Mountain introduces Dagshund.

The two debuts are a study in contrast: Celeboodle is a fast, fragile single-target glass cannon — low health, surprisingly high attack — while Dagshund is a well-rounded area attacker whose long attack animation makes him very stallable. Neither breaks a prepared lineup; both punish autopilot.
