Zardy is the eponymous main antagonist of Zardy's Maze. He is a living scarecrow who wanders his cornfield, murdering anyone who dares to enter. His mod takes place as Boyfriend and Girlfriend enter the cornfield to play some music, when they find themselves face-to-face with Zardy.

Appearance
Zardy is a scarecrow with glowing yellow eyes and with what appears to be a piece of wood sticking out of his mouth. He wears a witch hat and mostly dark blue clothes: a short black poncho with gold touches, and tan colored boots. He wears brown gloves and is holding his signature hoe in his left hand, with a mic now attached to it.

During Bushwhack, Zardy's sprite is darkened significantly, and a yellow glow emits from his eyes and mouth, similar to a jack o'lantern.

Vines

 * During Bushwhack, vines will appear that catch Boyfriend and prevent him from singing. They can be cut off by pressing a sequence of arrows that appears over Boyfriend's head. Hitting an incorrect arrow will drain some of Boyfriend's health, and the old sequence will be replaced with a new one.

Instant Death

 * At roughly 2:30 during Bushwhack, Boyfriend will be caught by a vine while Zardy switches places with Cablecrow. Cablecrow will throw Zardy's hoe at Boyfriend, which results in an instant death if the player is not able to cut off the vines fast enough to avoid it.

Jumpscares

 * If the player fails at any song, the opponent (Zardy or Cablecrow) will then jump scare the player before showing the game over screen.

Trivia

 * The creator of Zardy's Maze, SwankyBox, is also one of the main creators of this mod.
 * Zardy turning transparent is a reference on how the player (in Zardy's Maze) must use a flashlight to get rid of Zardy, which makes him transparent.
 * The first song's name is based off of an achievement in Zardy’s Maze that is obtained by destroying a weed and leaving the maze during a custom challenge with all settings on max with no custom seed.

Bushwhack Dialogue

 * Oh… Silly boy! It’s you again!


 * You shouldn’t have come here… I warned you before that it’s dangerous to wander in the dark.


 * And yet you walked straight towards the center of the darkness. A foolhardy move, boy.


 * But bravery has a funny way of betraying people… There’s a big difference between you and I.


 * The dark makes your world small. It devours your senses and puts you on edge…


 * But to us? Well… Let’s just say you couldn’t have walked into a worse situation.
