Demon Hipster Chicks

Matthew Patel and his Demon Hipster Chicks

The Demon Hipster Chicks are a group of demons in Hipster form. They are either demons that work for Matthew Patel, or are illusions created by his powers. Like Matthew, the Demon Hipster Chicks can levitate and throw fireballs. They each wear a tank top with a star on them, a mini-skirt, and dark pantyhose. They have slit eyes, fanged teeth, bat wings and claw-like nails.

In Volume 1, Matthew Patel summons these demons to assist him against Scott Pilgrim and his friends. Scott, however, swiftly defeats Matthew, causing the Demon Hipster Chicks to vanish.

The Demon Hipster Chicks appear in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, all played by Christine Watson and with mainly the same role as in the novel, being summoned by Matthew and vanishing when Matthew has a cymbal thrown at his head. There are two additions in that they accidentally vaporize Crash and the Boys with their fireball attack, and sing Slick with Patel.

When Matthew loses a certain amount of health, Patel Envelopes himself in a pillar of light whilst four Demon Hipster Chick fly around him. Each Hipster Chick has to be defeated before Patel can be fought again. When Matthew Patel loses even more health, he will summon two more Demon Hipster Chicks who will shoot unblockable fireballs at the player character. These two can either be defeated by attacking them directly, or by just defeating Matthew Patel.

Trivia

• For the appearance of four separate Demon Hipster Chicks the film, Christine Watson did different takes for each Chick, rather than having the same performance replicated.
• When the four Demon Hipster Chicks encircle Matthew Patel in the game, it might be a reference to when King Zing takes damage and summons four Zingers to surround him in Donkey Kong Country 2. Both bosses are invincible until their minions are dealt with.
