From the depths of Lady Tallowmere's dungeons comes a new breed of stumpy kamikaze creatures called Bloats.
Having consumed one too many purple stun potions from their fellow Ogres, Bloats are packed with paralysing toxins, exploding upon death.
You're free to use your shield against their self-inflicted explosions. Other enemies in the dungeon aren't so lucky, however, and will get stunned in a purple haze if they keep too close. Or if other monsters you want to stun are too far, you can always lure or push a Bloat into place before it explodes!
Bloat details:
- Bloats do not attack. Rather, they jump towards you when they see you, and make a delightful chirping noise.
- Once they're close enough, Bloats will begin their ritual of plunging a blade into a sweet spot in their belly, causing them to die instantly and explode.
- Bloats also explode if their health reaches zero through other means.
- Bloat explosions are close-range and can stun both hero and enemy.
- You can block the explosion with your shield, negating the damage and stun, or use an Anti-stun Potion.
- All enemies, excluding bosses, are stunnable.
- After exploding, Bloat body parts will fly through the air carrying a paralysing toxin. These purple gibs may look dangerous, but the toxin on these body parts are too weak to affect the hero. Other monsters in the room aren't so lucky however, and will become stunned for a few seconds if a toxin-laden body part hits them. You can also bounce these body parts off of your shield to try and stun monsters from afar.
- Other Bloats caught in a Bloat explosion will explode immediately in a chain reaction, regardless of health.
