So apparently undead giant sponges are no big deal.
« on: July 20, 2013, 05:33:45 pm »
I was just messing around in arena mode, and decided, for shits and giggles, to spawn a bunch of zombie giant sponges, alongside (for some reason) some regular giant sponges. Apparently the "cannot be killed in combat" thing doesn't apply to undead giant sponges. So yeah. Interesting fact.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

All animated corpses use an "undead hitpoints" system.

Add this to your raws, and try fighting husk sponges in the arena:

Unless you can flash-freeze it. Or knockback it into a chasm.

Sure, but the moment you dig it out (in an evil biome), it will get back up and continue to chase you down. And a chasm just puts it under you.
