Nuckelavee

Nuckelavees are a possible evolution of Infected Adventurers, belonging in the Evolved tier. They are extremely fast mobs.

Spawning

• Spawned when an Infected Adventurer gets an evolution point by killing a mob and its evolution timer begins. If the evolution succeeds, they have a 45% chance to become a Nuckelavee.

• Spawned from Arena Tendrils during the third wave of a raid.

• Spawned from Vigils during the second wave of a Vigil raid.

Unique Behavior

• When evolving, the Nuckelavee will keep the same armor, tools, and custom name as the Infected Adventurer it evolved from.

  • When spawned by a spawn egg or through commands, they will retain the same values for armor, tools, and names.

• They are capable of using bows, flint and steel, and shields. The arrows shot from the bow inflict Mycelium Infection for 30 seconds. If a mob is hit by a Nuckelavee with flint and steel, they will be set on fire. And when hit, they have a 35% chance to block the hit with their shield if they have one.

• When killing a mob that has a weapon, if the weapon it had is stronger than the current weapon the Nuckelavee is holding, it will swap out its weapon for the stronger one, stealing it from the mob it killed. The same applies for armor the Nuckelavee's targets wear.

• Like horses, Nuckelavees are capable of stepping up blocks, meaning they don't have to jump to go up one block.

• Nuckelavees have 1.0 knockback resistance, meaning they can't be knocked back by attacks.

Behavior

• Nuckelavees are melee combatants and ranged combatants, attacking mobs with Infected forms, golems, and most hostile mobs.

• Nuckelavees inflict Mycelium Infection for 30 seconds when dealing melee damage.

• Has a follow range of 32 blocks.

• Nuckelavees have a 5% chance to drop a Scent upon death.

• When killed, have a chance to place a small short-lived Mycelium Infection area effect cloud.

• Nuckelavees will attempt to group together in hordes with other Evolved.

• Infected will follow Nuckelavees, who themselves will follow Hyper Evolved and Calamities.

• Can perform low leaps/dashes to chase prey quickly through water.

• Able to use kill points to give themselves buffs, such as strength or speed if the target is running away. They can also give themselves regeneration if they are low on health.

• Capable of breaking glass and leaves.

• Have a damage cap of 1/3 of their health on hard mode.

• Present a weakness to the cold, like all spore mobs.
