BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxV0eDM-TUw (Instead of the chorus chanting "Ghetsis", they will be chanting Sassafras in the same slightly distorted low-pitch tone.)

Design
Lord Sassafras is a gargantuan tan hexagon that has several larger darker hexagons surrounding it. There is a spawner on his bottom side. He has two identical arms and hands, each with four fingers. His tan fingers end in for fingertips, and the hands themselves are oversized s. On the thumbs, the Sassafrases on the ends are also slightly larger than the others. Lord Sassafras's body has a giant "S" shield like that of Superman's on his forehead, a barely noticeable spawner on its bottom, and five eyes of increasing size towards the central one in a slightly upwards curving arc directly below the shield. On each of the sides of this eye arc, there are three significantly smaller eyes, for a total of eleven eyes. Lord Sassafras has a giant and slightly maniacal smile below his mustache, which acts like the Polygon Disciples' mouths as well, moving like it should when he says things. He also has a giant top hat with equally large googly eyes, a tan pair of eyebrows as opposed to a bushy black unibrow like the hats on normal Sassafras minions, and a purple scarf thing tied to it and a red stripe on the bottom (both not visible here, will add soon.).

Lord Sassafras dwarfs even the, which he is 6.2 times the size of. Additioanlly, he makes Scorpios look like beetles and Level 45 tanks look like tiny black ants, of which the latter he is exactly 32 times the size of. However, only gains this much power in his own dimension. Outside of that in the overworld, he's just a lowly blabbering Guardian Boss. He is also 2/3rds the size of a vanilla Diep.io map.

Due to his size, the closer players get to Lord Sassafras, their FOV will be drastically increased so they can at least see a third of him, with classes that get FOV boosts having additional FOV so they can see more of him than others.



Phase 1
In Phase 1, Lord Sassafras says his intro quote, lights swing out, the battlefield goes disco, and the battle begins. He has his above design.

Attacks

 * Metronome: Lord Sassafras can call upon any attack used by any boss in the ToD and the EToD, whether polygon or tank-based. ANY ATTACK. His Battleship drones (originating from his Sassafras Supreme hand spawners) will form into any weapons he needs to perform the attacks, and they will solidify and form into a perfect copy of said weapons or armaments. In the case of body-mounted weapons, he creates them, then sticks them somewhere on his face with his hands. They will vanish once he is finished. He can use any attack, as long as it doesn't involve self-destructing, phase shifting, body changing, or requires a certain health limit.
 * The Power of Irritation: Lord Sassafras summons any boss listed on the page in the Type 8 category or below in its respective Sassafrized form. A limit of 10 bosses can be active at one time. This attack will always be the first one Lord Sassafras performs, in which he summons 10 bosses at once. Afterwards, every time he uses this attack, he summons 1-10 bosses, depending on how many are left to bring the total back to 10. There can be duplicates, and Sassafras and Sassafras Supreme are not summoned by this attack because of the redundancy it would create.
 * Chatterstorm: Lord Sassafras starts saying random words in non-grammatically correct sentences, like this: "Box head left jump incoherent light zip Hat Druid." This actually does very low damage every second for 5 seconds in a large area around him (the soundwaves are visible) and inflicting Confused for 6 seconds.
 * Sassafras Storm: Lord Sassafras will spray ammunition, drones, and traps everywhere from his hands in various formations like the Archprophet's Last Hurrah, but much less dense. This lasts for 30 seconds.
 * Meme Beam: Lord Sassafras fires a yellow beam into a player from his central eye, which inflicts three random debuffs for 5 seconds, all while he is saying a quote.
 * Sassafrize: Lord Sassafras turns the 20 players nearest to him into Sassafrized tanks, with eyes and all. This also inflicts Dazed on them for the duration of the visual change, which is 20 seconds.
 * Summon - Sassafrasses!: Lord Sassafras summons 10-15 Sassafras and 3-5 Sassafras Supremes. They will rotate around him, saying their gibberish while doing Sassafras things.
 * Summon - Sassafrexen!: Lord Sassafras summons five Sassafrexen, and points toward Hexen, wherever the latter happens to be. The Sassafrexen will rush at Hexen, and Hexen will be obstructed by the Sassafrexen until he defeats them. It should be noted that Sassafrexen summoned by this attack only have 5,000 HP.
 * Spin Slam: Lord Sassafras puts his arms straight out, curls them into fists, and slams into players while spinning at a frightening speed. He deals high damage and knockback on contact, which, due to his size, is nigh-impossible to avoid. He has to charge this power up, though, so 15 seconds' warning is given while his eyes start flashing white.
 * OH, HEXEN IS REALLY SPICY: Lord Sassafras yells something about Hexen being spicy (not necessarily the name of this attack, it can be a variation on it) and turns all the floor tiles hexagon green, then rapidly turning them back to tan from where Hexen is. Hexen, and anyone else close enough to him will receive Burned, Blinded, and Paralyzed for five seconds.
 * Fidget-Blade: Lord Sassafras takes a Sassafrized (or summons one in, if there isn't one already in the arena), holds it in his hand, and spins it like a fidget spinner. The Deltrablade is now a buzzsaw. There is a 10% chance for it to also happen to a Sassafrized.
 * SPICE, SPICE, SASSAFREXEN!: Lord Sassafras summons a Sassafrexen, but with a red gradient at the top of its hexagons. Lord Sassafras then eats the Sassafrexen, and then lets out gigantic jets of fire from all of his main body eyes for 1 minute. The fire inflicts Burning for as long as players are in contact with it and 3 seconds afterwards.
 * More Is Never Enough: Lord Sassafras locates the nearest Factory, and Sassafrizes it, making its minions normal-sized Sassafras that will attack everything nearby, saying their gibberish. The Factory itself will revert to being normal after 10 seconds.
 * POWER OF POLYFRAS: Lord Sassafras turns the nearest 20 polygons and Crashers (including those controlled by Hexen into Sassafras minions.
 * HAW!: Lord Sassafras drops a robot at his present location and moves out of the way. All it will do is "HAW" its head off, and will disappear after 20 seconds. It has 2000 health.
 * I'm a top: Lord Sassafras puts his hands out, and starts spinning, but not like Spin Slam. He spins around clockwise, with his eyes spinning counterclockwise. All Sasssafras, Sassafras Supremes, and Sassafrized bosses will stop what they are doing, and start spinning on their axes as well. This lasts for 10 seconds, and Lord Sassafras only will move around, knocking players everywhere for low damage.
 * FUN FUN FUN FUN: Lord Sassafras gains Frenzy for one minute. He will chant "FUN" endlessly as he runs around, swatting at tanks, throwing them up in the air, rolling several into a ball and tossing them at their allies, etc.
 * And now for the weather: Lord Sassafras summons a cumulonimbus cloud above him (the kind that looks like a giant gray anvil.) It spawns several thunderbolts that strike players for medium area damage and inflicting Paralyzed for 3 seconds. Right after, he will use...
 * IT'S *BLEEEP*ING COLD!: Lord Sassafras makes hail rain down from the cloud. Hail deals no damage, but it piles up over time and eventually melts, making movement difficult and slippery for about 45 seconds afterwards.
 * nice.: All current summoned Sassafrases and Sassafras Supremes will start saying "nice" quietly for the next 10 seconds. Purely aesthetic.
 * Quack: Lord Sassafras releases an ear-splitting QUACK!!!, inflicting Confused on everyone in the arena for 3 seconds and inflicting medium damage.
 * Hats Off To Lord Sassafras: Lord Sassafras pulls off his hat, creates a magic wand out of drones, taps the hat, and flips it upside down, shaking out 2-6 random EToD bosses.
 * Lordic Punch: Lord Sassafras curls his right hand (always the right) into a fist, then punches it forward. Upon impact with anything, five Sassafrases are spawned by breaking off from Lord Sassafras's fingertips. He will regrow them right after.
 * BELI DESTROY TOY!: Lord Sassafras summons a Sassafrized . For note, anything blue on Beli is now tan, and in place of the glowing white eyes, there are glowing yellow Sassafras eyes instead. Then, Lord Sassafras snaps his fingers, and it grows to twice its size. Lord Sassafras moves back, becomes Invincible, and waits for the players to defeat the Sassafrized Beli. It will move around, using Beli's attacks (which at the time of this writing, has not even been done yet, curse you Zathsu) and shout "BELI DESTROY TOY! BELI DESTROY TOY!" constantly. It has 50,000 health, and will likely go down in 20 seconds with the massive amount of players fighting.
 * Swords of Sassafras: Lord Sassafras grabs 8 Sassafras with each of his hands (if there aren't already at least 16 Sassafrases available, he will spawn more from his spawner) and condenses them into Sassafrized versions of Poluxe Form 's XG-Swiper 2000, with Sassafras eyes where all the hexagons are and tan instead of hexagon green. He then performs three sword attacks from Trites, Hexen, or, then throws them out and to the sides, where they fly back in, hitting players along the way for medium damage. Upon returning to Lord Sassafras's hands, he crumples them back into 16 Sassafras.
 * SASSADISTRACTION: Lord Sassafras covers part of approximately 40% of the players' screens who are fighting him with large, obnoxious memes, which play loud music, block tanks' FoV, inflict random debuffs, and otherwise distract tanks. This lasts for 10 seconds, and Lord Sassafras is still attacking.
 * IMAGE DUMP: Lord Sassafras does the same thing as SASSADISTRACTION, but instead dumps random image files of the games, from effects, to bosses, to parts of bosses, and even overworld things. Lasts for 10 seconds.
 * Zathsu's Revenge: Lord Sassafras puts his hands out to the side, and fires five beams made of Zathsu's cat profile pictures at any Destroyers, Hybrids, Triplets, or s. The first four hold the tank(s) in place, but only the center beam deals high damage.
 * THE POWER OF MOOSIC: Lord Sassafras changes the music to another boss's theme for five seconds, changes it back to his theme, then does it again, either rapidly switching between two or playing with the volume control to make it ear rape or silence.
 * I LIKE TRAINS: Lord Sassafras opens two portals opposite each other on his horizontal axis and moves out of the way. Five seconds later, a train horn sounds, train tracks come out of nowhere; and suddenly, a diesel locomotive pulling about 80 cars barrels in and out of the arena. Anyone that comes in contact with the train is dealt fatal damage and extreme knockback.
 * much doge: Lord Sassafras summons a Doge image, which takes up 30% of the screen in a random spot and spams rainbow colored Doge style text. Lasts for 10 seconds.
 * Between My Friendly Eyes: Lord Sassafras fires tan laser bolts from between his eyes, from nothing at all. These beams go in every which direction, randomly aimed and moving erratically. They do low damage but have high penetration on impact.
 * SASSAFRAS, SASSAFRAS, SASSAFRAS, SASSAFRAS... SASSAFRAS: Lord Sassafras spreads his arms out wide, and starts summoning a seemingly endless stream of Sassafras minions from his bottom spawner. The total of Sassafras minions spawned is 400. Additionally, this attack is rarely used, and 1 in 20 Sassafras minions has a chance to be a normal Sassafras.
 * Praise the Lord Sassafras: All current Sassafras Supremes and Sassafras will return to Lord Sassafras and start orbiting around him. After ten seconds, they will all explode into Sassafras minions (10 for normal Sassafras, 50 for Sassafras Supremes) and Lord Sassafras restores health equal to 1000n+5000p, where n is the number of Sassafras and p is the number of Sassafras Supremes. Basically, he sacrifices Sassafrasses for health, much like how eats Crashers for health or extra attack power.
 * How Do You Do: Lord Sassafras takes his hat off and bows, sweeping the hat in a low circle with long radius The hat inflicts Poisoned for 5 seconds on contact and low damage.
 * BELIEVE IN THE PEEKO: Lord Sassafras fires erratic blasts of water from both hands, inflicting medium damage, Broken, and Waterflame for 5 seconds to anyone hit.
 * INFINITE CHIPS!: Lord Sassafras throws an Infinity Ring at a player. If it misses, he will summon a mirror to bounce it back. Once the Ring hits, that player will suddenly start being filled with insanely fast endless chips that do low damage and spawn out of where the Ring was before it collided with that player. That player gradually becomes bigger and more immobile, as they are gradually hit with more and more chips. The chip filling continues until they die. Once the player dies, Lord Sassafras uses a mirror to redirect the chip flow towards Hexen, and he is hit with a chip. If that happens, he will take all the remaining chips flying out of the portal and become unable to move and really big for 30 seconds, during which the effect will gradually wear off. Also, the chips look like regular potato crisps. They shatter into many pieces immediately when shot, but there are too many of them to block. If hit by a piece, that player will take 1 damage and also become 1% fatter.
 * Lord Hexen?: Lord Sassafras summons quotes, two large Hexens, two large Sassafrases, two large Sassafras Supremes, all which appear and disappear randomly, lasting about a second per appearance. Each hit they do to a tank does light to moderate damage.
 * SASSAFRASAVONIO: Lord Sassafras changes the music to a Sassafrized version of this: Also he sings along with the "music". He is also still attacking while singing. Also, when it loops once, it turns into a midi version, which is even worse. Here's the midi version:

Phase 2
Lord Sassafras has only two phases. In Phase 2, reached at 1,800,000 health, Lord Sassafras increases in size by a factor of 1.3x, and spawns one Sassafras from his bottom spawner every 30 seconds. He has new attacks in addition to the old ones, listed below. The attacks get wildly ridiculous and have major effects on sanity and the arena.

Attacks
The battlefield turns into this: The avalanche is replaced by Lord Sassafras, and Sonic is replaced by all the tanks and Hexen on snowboards. You must survive the whole thing, much like the Trapper God's Speech attack. The music also switches to the one shown in the video (clearer version here: . Snowboarding is very simple: The snowboard accelerates towards your mouse pointer. You can shoot, but because of the previous thing, if you turn around and shoot at Sassafras, you'll probably die. If you reach a trick ramp, firing will make you do a trick which makes you go faster. The icicles hurt but can be shot down. The bomber planes are Mini-Sassafrexens that drop Sassafrized Phage Grenades on tanks. The Grenades explode into nothing. Neither the Sassafrexens nor the Grenades can be shot. Sassafras himself is an instant kill. If a tank bumps into anything, they lose speed. The whole terrain keeps the relative structure of the one shown in the video, but there are more bomber plane sections and more trick ramps. Hexen will also be snowboarding down. He follows a path identical to the one taken by Sonic in the video and will smash any icicles in the way. If a tank bumps into another tank, both tanks will lose speed and block each other depending on their position. If a tank bumps into Hexen, he will swing his sword at them and speed them up without hurting them by doing so. If they bump into Hexen from behind, the tank will speed around him when this happens. At the end of the terrain, there is a teleporter which heals tanks back to full HP and takes them back to the regular battlefield. The attack ends when Lord Sassafras reaches the bottom. For reference: (skip to 1:16 to get what it looks like.)
 * Be Cool, Be Wild and Be Groovy:
 * Maxed Mirrored Clone: Lord Sassafras clones every Sassafras entity on the screen (only Sassafras and Sassafras Supremes). All the clones have 1HP but the full strength of the original. Clones cannot be Cloned.
 * AND THEN ALONG CAME SASS!: Summons a solid wall of Sassafrases and Sassafras Supremes and they completely block anyone from seeing Lord Sassafras at all. Then, Lord Sassafras pushes away some of the Sassafrasses and Sassafras Supremes and summons a large amount of Sassafras to form a lightning bolt shape. He then hurls the lightning bolt at tanks, doing massive damage and having a 40% change inflicting a random debuff. Upon impact, the lightning bolt shatters into 30 Sassafrases. When he pushes away the wall of Sassafras, voices in the background can be heard saying "AND THEN ALONG CAME SASS!"
 * And then the Winged Sassafrasses arrived!: Summons a line of Sassafras Supreme minions with Winged Hussar weapons, then them all charge at once. There is a 5% chance that the Sassafras Hussars will dodge all the tanks, in which case Lord Sassafras will facepalm, causing a big shockwave expanding from the impact zone that does medium damage inflicts medium knockback on all players.

Quotes
Unlike normal Sassafras and Sassafras Supreme, he does not say random quotes randomly, as it's more like the and the Polygon Disciples' quotes.

 * Has more health than the 'cause . Don't ask.
 * He used to have a different, more simplistic design, but it was changed because he deserved something much better.
