Hip-Hop Hurtle
Hip-Hop Hurtles (JP: ＭＣハンマー) are the forth and final form of the Hurtle family, a group of aquatic monsters introduced in No Heroes Allowed!.
In No Heroes Allowed!
Hip-Hop Hurtles are born from Level 2 Water Lily Buds, sometimes automatically. Hip-Hop Hurtles will throw hammers from afar to attack, but retreat into their shells if heroes get close. They feed on Aquachnid family members. If it dies of starvation, it will leave a Hip-Hop Shell behind, which Lilith family members will use as a physical attack to throw at heroes if dungeon IQ is at Mid-High or more. Unlike other Hurtles, Hip-Hop Hurtles have drastically higher magic resistance.
In No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either!, Hip-Hop Hurtles are red tiles and the fourth stage of the Hurtle family, and can only be obtained by upgrading a Souper Hurtle. Unlike No Heroes Allowed!, they can be upgraded into the Hardcore Hurtle through Monster Mixing. It has no special abilities.
In-Game Descriptions
No Heroes Allowed!
- Diet: Aquachnids
- Predators: Dragons
- Special Abilities: Hides in its Shell When Heroes Approach
An all-singing, all-dancing, super-hip and streetwise species of Hurtle. Their breakthrough album "Hip Hop 'Till It Hurtles" changed the face of Underworld music, but also caused many accidents when impressionable youngsters tried and failed to imitate the Akshellerator dance move. They joined the Underworld army after recognising similarities between the way the God of Destruction smashes open the earth and the way they smashed open the charts.

Etymology
In East Asian languages, the Hip-Hop Hurtle is known as "ＭＣハンマー", or MC Hammer. This is a reference to the rapper of the same name, whose song "U Can't Touch This" became a popular internet meme at the time of No Heroes Allowed's release. It was likely not directly translated for copyright reasons.

Trivia
- The Almanac entry in No Heroes Allowed! mentions "Akshellerator" accidents, which is likely a reference to the frequency in which young imitators of Hip-Hop dance moves injure themselves.
