New AI

Some new AI? They're capable of phasing through blocks like Wraiths and other hovering enemies to reach you, but otherwise walk on blocks and suffer gravity. Barhandar (talk) 07:57, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

It shoots flare like projectiles in a spray of sorts, they seam do to 'bout 90 damage. Has a secondary attack with wall piercing rockets dealing ~70-80 damage. It also seams to constantly shoot the rockets from the 2cd attack with a 1 second interval when low on hp. Also how are we gonna refer the name? - Lynnz

Variable damage?

I've fought them with a platform overhead. They can't reach, their only option is to use their ranged attacks. Has anyone else found their damage to be variable? It appears they do HUGE amounts of damage when they're almost dead (at least that's my observation). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.126.243 at 20:23, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Invulnerability to fire

Can anyone confirm that they seem not only invulnerable to lava but completely invulnerable to fire, e.g. from fire traps? --DoubleFloat (talk) 22:21, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

item drops

Item drops seem to vary, sometimes you get nothing,. at least in early waves. I've killed 4 in a single event, and only got 1 stake thrower to show for it. Other times I get 3 "items" worth mentioning. So the 20% does not seem to be holding too true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.173.25.253 at 17:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

That's the whole point of the randomized drops. Sometimes you won't get an item if it has a non-100% drop rate. 74.69.40.245 18:02, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Point being there's 5 items, with each 20% droprate - because it's supposed to drop 1 item,. but it's been modified now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.173.25.253 at 18:40, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Trivia

I get the feeling that the trivia section is a little too blunt to be tasteful. Thoughts? Frankward (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I edited it slightly. I don't think there's any reason to dance around it, as opposed to plainly stating the explanation clearly, though I did remove the explicit and extraneous description of precisely what an "erection" is. This was more to keep things concise, but perhaps it's now also a bit more tasteful as a side-effect. Equazcion (talk) 23:47, 17 Dec 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Frankward - the content in the trivia section adds nothing of substance, nor does it conform to the site's policy on Trivia.

No trivia adds anything of substance. The trivia policy makes no comment on a point's tastefulness either, just on its verifiability, which makes allowances for things that are obvious. It's not the wiki's place to sanitize the game. Gearzein (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Morning wood

Ok hol up, do we NEED to know that this guy’s name is a pun on an erection? First of all, we probably have young ones playing this game and they DEFINITELY don’t need to see this. Second of all, even if it was a reference to... THAT... No one needs to know this, and hopefully no one WANTS to know. So, in conclusion, my I delete that fact? Ninjaboy3827 (talk) 21:12, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

I can only repeat what Gearzein said in the thread above: Trivia is nothing anybody needs to know, by definition. What people want to know is entirely subjective and generally does not play a role in what is included in trivia and what is not, because, again, trivia is supposed to be an assortment of interesting tidbits, not something you're looking for specifically.
Please also refer to the discussion over at Talk:Golden Shower. Taking the liberty to directly quote what Gearzein has said there and here: "It's not the wiki's place to sanitize the game."
