## About The Pull Request
i think i made these a bit too strong, this hopefully balances them out
a bit. they were initially accidentally given alot of armor against
ranged attacks, this is now removed. also ive reduced their base hp by a
bit. im open to other suggestions and feedback
## Why It's Good For The Game
they were stronger than i intended. this keeps their usefulness for
battling tendrils, or ore vents but also prevents using them to cheese
several megafauna
## Changelog
🆑
balance: you can now polymorph into raptors
balance: raptors overall have less health and no longer have armor
against ranged attacks

## About The Pull Request
adds raptors to lavaland. these are creatures that have been created
through countless xenobiological experiments by nanotrasen to breed an
animal that can withstand the harsh conditions of lavaland and aid
miners. theres now a new ranch miners can access bottom right to the
mining base
this ranch starts somewhat empty as most raptors have escaped
containment and are now scattered all across lavaland, u can find them
and return them to ur ranch.
in order to tame a raptor, u first need to prove to it that ur a capable
master. when u try to ride it, a little minigame prompt will pop up
in this game, the bird's icon rapidly changes direction and u have to
quickly click the arrow thats OPPOSITE to the direction its facing
several times before the direction changes. if you fail 3 times itll
knock you off and run away, however if u win it will deem u a suitable
master and listen to your orders.
There's many different breeds of raptors you can find across lavaland,
all with different capabilities:
red raptors: these excel at combat and can be very useful for dealing
with lavaland mobs or defending the node drone
yellow raptors: are very speedy mounts, theyll get u from point A to
point B in record time
green raptors: they are the tankiest type of raptor and are very good
miners. while mounted, they will clear any rock walls in their path
purple raptors: can store items in them. they have a decent storage size
allowing players to carry more items across trips
white raptors: are able to heal other injured raptors. having one in ur
party would be very useful as they can nurse the combat raptors back to
full health when they need it
blue raptors: produce very nutritious milk with healing capabilities.
having 1 or 2 of these back at ur ranch would be very useful
black raptors: by far the rarest breed, its very unlikely that ull be
able to get one of these, but in the case u do, they have the combat
capabilities of the red raptor, speed of the yellow raptor, and
tankiness of the green raptor.
Breeding different colored raptors together can net u an entirely new
colored raptor. each breed has atleast 1 guaranteed combination of
parents that it will result out of.
you will also need to maintain a good friendship bond with ur raptors,
this is done by feeding them, grooming them, and petting them. u can see
the strength of ur bond by SHIFT clicking them. more hearts indicate a
stronger bond
having higher friendship bonds means ur raptors will perform better in
combat, and in the case of blue raptors, they will produce more milk.
Maintaining friendship bonds with baby raptors and keeping them happy
will also encourage them to grow faster
U can also analyze raptors using the new raptor-dex device available at
ur ranch
the inherit modifiers indicate how strong this raptor's offspring will
be. raptors inherit attack and health stats from both their parents,
breeding raptors with higher inherit modifiers means the offspring will
be stronger.
raptors will also inherit some traits from their parents that will
change how they will act around u and around other raptors, some of them
being:
Playful: raptors will play with their masters and tease them
motherly: raptors will care for baby raptors, this will encourage baby
raptors to grow quicker
depressed: means its hard to keep this raptor happy and friendship bonds
will deteriorate faster if not given enough care.
coward: makes them flee combat if severly injured, ditching u to the
wolves
trouble maker: makes them attack other raptors at the ranch. however,
trouble maker raptors will not attack other trouble maker raptors,
instead they will form posses and bully raptors together. it might be a
good idea to isolate them from the other raptors
raptors primarily consume ores. to feed raptors, you need to place ore
into the food troughs at the ranch. they are too civilized to eat ores
off the ground or directly from ur hand, they will only eat it if its in
their trough

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#71330
The brimdemon was basically already perfect (well, it has a novel means
of attacking) so I didn't get too fancy with this one, it's _largely_
just a straightforward conversion.
Following this change it's a little slower to back off, but better at
lining up with people in order to blast them. Additionally, its beam is
now a mob ability so you can give it to other mobs if you so desire.
Because I can't help doing a _little_ tinkering, Brimdemons now explode
2.5 seconds after they die, after a brief warning animation.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Simple mobs must die
## Changelog
🆑
add: Brimdemon corpses release an explosion shortly after death, just to
keep you on your toes.
refactor: Brimdemons now use the basic mob framework which (should)
improve their pathfinding somewhat. Please bug report any unusual
behaviour.
admin: The brimdemon's beam ability can be given to any mob, for your
Binding of Isaac event

## About The Pull Request
the goldgrub is now a basic monster. the goldgrub will now look for
walls to mine and look for ores to eat. if he finds any nearby humans he
will escape and dig away. also if he sense a storm is coming he will dig
away and only come back out when the storm is gone. the goldgrub will
escape from u but u can now befriend the goldgrub. if u feed him ores he
will love u and become ur pet u can ride him or make him follow u. he
will also help u mine, if u leave him to mine for a bit and come back to
him later u can ask him to spit out all the materials he mined and he
will give them to u. also if u feed him a bluespace ore, he will lay an
egg and have a baby. the goldgrub is very protective over this egg he
will drag it around with him. the goldgrub baby will follow his mom or
dad until he grows up to be like his mom or dad
## Why It's Good For The Game
give the goldgrub more character and now he can help miners to mine if
they befriend him
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: the goldgrub has been refactored please report any bugs
add: the goldgrub can now be tamed and he can have babys

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#77709
I made a very smart and sensible and handsome change in a recent PR to
replace `mob/goliath/random` and `mob/watcher/random` subtypes with
spawner effects rather than mobs which qdel themselves on init sometimes
however I neglected to account for how the lavaland map generation was
reliant on those typepaths to space mobs apart
resultingly the map generator would attempt to place lavaland mobs about
12 spaces apart _unless_ they were goliaths or watchers which it would
spawn basically as much as it wanted wherever it wanted
## Why It's Good For The Game
## Changelog
🆑
fix: the goliath and watcher mating season has ended and population has
returned to normal levels
