==Notes==
*To encounter [[Ron "The Weasel" Copperhead]], you must find his cabin. Defeating [[red butler|butler]]s, [[red skeleton|skeleton]]s, [[man with the red buttons|button fellas]] or [[Red Fox|foxes]] in combat will advance the discovery of Ron's cabin. 6 must be defeated before Ron becomes available, but they need not actually be fought in the Zeppelin; e.g. you can  receive progress via a [[Digitize]]d or [[Be Gregarious|Greg'd]] red butler.
*Progress messages (in this order):
:* After the fight, you explore the cargo compartment of the zeppelin. It's filled with a bunch of really boring stuff, but you do get a slightly better sense of the ship's layout.
:* You rifle through your fallen foe's possessions, looking for a clue as to the leader's whereabouts. You find a note reading '''Do not enter Ron's cabin for any reason whatsoever'''. From this, you glean that Ron is... in a cabin.
:* On the wall next to your fallen opponent, you see a map of the zeppelin, with an area marked '''Best Cabins'''. You note the location, assuming that Ron's cabin is probably one of the best ones, if not ''the'' best one.
:* After defeating your foe, you notice that one of the zeppelin's janitors has left his keyring on a hook on the wall. You grab it and unlock every door on the zeppelin before flushing the keys down the toilet. Take that, random janitor!
:* Having unlocked all of the doors in the zeppelin, you finally manage to figure out where the nicer cabins are. Unfortunately, you only have time to check a couple before you hear a guard coming and flee.
:* You finally make your way to the largest, most luxurious cabin in the zeppelin. You steel your nerves for the inevitable confrontation with Ron Copperhead.
*If you do not defeat [[Ron "The Weasel" Copperhead|Ron Copperhead]], he will go into hiding, and you will have to defeat 4 more of the above enemies to encounter him again. The progress message will always be the same in this case:
:* You check compartment after compartment looking for that weaselly Copperhead guy, but to no avail.
*No progress messages ([[Red Herring]] or [[Red Snapper]]):
:* You search the Herring's cabin, but you find nothing of interest. Who could have guessed?
:* You search the Snapper's cabin, but everything you find has been snapped in half.
*Without a [[Red Zeppelin ticket]], there is a 33% chance of being thrown overboard, damaging you and negating any progress made that turn:
*:A ticket taker accosts you after the fight. Unable to produce a ticket, you are thrown overboard!  {{HP|type=lose|amount=30-35}}
*Without a [[Red Zeppelin ticket]], but with a [[Mini kiwi invisible dirigible]] equipped, when thrown overboard you avoid damage but any progress made that turn is still negated:
*:A ticket taker accosts you after the fight. Unable to produce a ticket, you are thrown overboard! You grab onto your familiar's invisible dirigible and float down safely.

*Once you defeat [[Ron "The Weasel" Copperhead]], the zeppelin will go up in flames. During every round of combat against a native Zeppelin monster, a chunk of flaming zeppelin will hit either you or the enemy, dealing {{element|hot|}} damage.
**If the chunk hits you:
**:A chunk of flaming zeppelin falls on you like a ton of hot lead. {{HP|type=lose|amount=30-86?|element=hot}}
**If the chunk hits the enemy:
**:A chunk of flaming zeppelin falls on him like a ton of hot lead, dealing {{element|Hot|dmg=30-50}} damage.
*Also, while the zeppelin's on fire, you may find a crate containing items after combat:
*:In the chaos of the flaming zeppelin, you're able to loot one of the passenger compartments. You find a really nice sweater! {{acquire|item=Kashmir sweater}}
*:''or:''
*:In the chaos of the flaming zeppelin, you're able to raid a crate in the cargo hold. Turns out it was full of lemons! {{acquire|item=lemon|num=3-4}}
*:''or:''
*:In the chaos of the flaming zeppelin, you're able to raid a crate in the cargo hold. Turns out it was full of tangerines! {{acquire|item=tangerine|num=3-4}}
*:''or:''
*:In the chaos of the flaming zeppelin, you're able to raid the bar car for some supplies. {{acquire|item=bottle of Evermore}}
*:''or:''
*:In the chaos of the flaming zeppelin, you're able to raid the dining car for some supplies. {{acquire|item=custard pie}}
*:<center>''or''</center> {{acquire|item=tea for one}}
