Pinky and Digit are the pet skags of Nine-Toes, and are encountered in Nine-Toes' lair during the quest Nine-Toes: Take Him Down.

Appearance

They appear in Nine-Toes' hideout

Strategy

see Skag#General Strategy

Whilst basic anti-skag strategy can be applied to this pair, often additional measures need to be taken by less experienced players who find this fight a challenging one. Players using Mordecai have been especially noted for having their work cut out for them here, as this chracter is not able to deal large amounts of close range damage. For players using Mordecai (and in fact, this is useful to all players), jumping up onto the sides of Nine-Toes' arena can place you out of harm's way. The skags are able to climb onto the first tier of the grandstands, but moving to the top level and fighting from there is the safe way to go. This is a bit of an underhanded strategy, but if if it's required, it's available.

Both Pinky and Digit are known to display a charging type attack usually only exhibited by higher level skags. This can be explained by the nature as co-bosses to their Master.

Trivia

  • Their names are both references to fingers, which contrasts both with Nine-Toes' name and the name of the gun he drops, The Clipper.
  • While their Master does respawn during playthroughs, these skags only spawn once per playthrough, a rarity for most of the game's boss-type enemies.
