Rottytops is a family member of a Zombie Clan. Rotty travels the land by caravan, threatening to eat peoples' brains. She has two brothers (Abner and Poe Cadaver). Rotty is obsessed with Shantae's brains and the thought of eating them. Even among zombies, Rottytops and her brothers, like Risky Boots, are considered bad news, but Rottytops genuinely cares for Shantae. Rotty is a free spirit, being friendly, energetic, and headstrong. However, she is also extremely untrustworthy, crafty, and manipulative. From their first encounter, Rotty builds a complicated but mostly friendly relationship with Shantae. Although she initially threatens to eat her brains, she grows fond of the half-genie, mainly because Shantae won't run away from her like other people.
