In the original | In the original {{Super Famicom}} version, Nimzo was given no back story, though most players assumed he was a demon. In the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Sony PlayStation#PlayStation|PS2]] remakes, 2 monsters, 1 soldier and one book revealed he was in fact a human. | ||
A book in [[Lofty Peak]] called ''The Will Of Our Leader'' revealed he is a deity born of "lowly disciples" implying he was born of poverty. The book also reveals he soon became the Monarch of Lofty Peak and was wiser than wisdom itself. Unfortunately he took the [[Secret of Evolution]] and turned himself into a monster. | A book in [[Lofty Peak]] called ''The Will Of Our Leader'' revealed he is a deity born of "lowly disciples" implying he was born of poverty.

Nimzo is immune to [[ | Nimzo is immune to [[Crack]], Ice breath, [[Woosh]], and '''all''' status ailments when in this form. Additionally, he has a 20% resistance to [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and fire breath. He periodically summons [[Killing machine]]s and [[Wrecktor]]s to assist him, and will regenerate 50 HP per round. Though he has no resistance at all to [[zap]], it is better to conserve MP for the second part of the battle. | ||

While Nimzo is frequently alluded to in the film, he does not make an actual appearance. Instead, his role is taken by a virus, appearing as a black humanoid figure with a white mask-like face. The presence of the virus results in a twist ending where Luca is shown as a fan of {{Dragon Quest V}} playing a virtual reality remake of the game. The virus was injected into the virtual reality game's code to take Nimzo's role, reminding Luca that once he is defeated, it is time to return to the real world. The virus attempts to further break Luca by telling him that everything in the world does not exist and will cease existing once he is defeated. Luca fights back by telling him that even though he knows that he is a player, he grew up playing both the original {{Super Famicom}} and [[Sony PlayStation#PlayStation 2|PlayStation 2]] versions of the game, and that they were his realities that he came to love. Luca's Slime companion Goodred appears one last time, revealing himself to be an anti-virus program and changing his own code into a sword used to defeat the virus. After the virus is defeated, Luca contemplates that his adventure is almost over, but his allies and enemies will live on in his memories. Despite this different character, the virus is still credited as Nimzo. | |||
