There are a few variations of Body Press in the game. The Leaf spirit and its variants use a version that simply deals 150% damage to a single target. Killer gila and its variants use a version that deals damage in a fan-shaped area in front of them and can knock back. The version used by the Heligator and its cousins is similar to its original appearance, inflicting 130% damage to a target and any nearby characters and knocking them back, as well.
