## About The Pull Request I'm slowly chipping away at mining mobs. These ones also got some new sprites because the old ones were a bit weird except when facing South.  Arctic Lobstrosities are now hairy to give them a little more visual distinction from Lavaland ones. In terms of behaviour, they're now a little faster and can charge you from further away. They will _only_ attack players who are incapacitated in some way (primarily from being hit by their charge, but could be from a Goliath or something too) and will otherwise keep their distance until they can charge again. They move slower for a short duration after charging though, so you have time to slap them a bit. If a Lobstrosity downs you then it will try to snip off one of your arms, then retreat in order to eat it. Obviously nobody likes losing an arm, but this does give you an opportunity to get away while it is distracted? Funnily enough the way our health system works means that sometimes losing that arm actually takes you out of soft crit so you can stumble back to the station for a replacement (or try to wrestle yours back?) All of these things are achievable also by a player if you make one sapient, they will pull arms off mobs they attack which are in crit and can eat arms if they see them lying around if they want. I added an element to let you dismember people with your bare hands, maybe someone evil can use it to add a beheading attack some day. Here's a video of their new behaviours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eKxsH7hD7Q ## Why It's Good For The Game Gives mobs more character. Reduces our list of frozen simple mobs. Replaces some ugly side sprites. Medbay enrichment? ## Changelog 🆑 refactor: Lobstrosities are now basic mobs and have different AI behaviour. Please report anything which seems like it shouldn't be happening. add: Lobstrosities will now only opportunistically attack things they have knocked over with their charge, and are otherwise timid. add: Lobstrosities are hungry for fingers and will steal one of your arms if they defeat you in combat, although this gives you time to crawl away. sprite: New sprites for Lobstrosities. /🆑
