Phayres

Phayrie are a possible evolution of Infected Humans, belonging in the Evolved tier. They are defined as a support mob by the config.

Spawning

• Spawned when an Infected Human gets an evolution point by killing a mob and its evolution timer begins. If the evolution succeeds, they have a 22.5% chance to become a Phayres.

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

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

• Spawned from Verwahrungs.

• Spawned from a Howitzer's large Flesh Bomb.

Unique Behavior

• Phayrie are flying mobs, allowing them to reach targets at higher levels and overall making them more mobile than other mobs. Though, they are able to land on the ground and 'slither' around.

• The Phayres can pick up spore mobs that are defined as disposable by the config, including Infected Humans, Infected Villagers, Infected Wandering Traders, Knights, Griefers, Slashers, Volatiles, Infected Vindicators, and Creepers. It'll look for mobs to pick up within a 32 block radius when not in combat. If the Phayres has a target, it will try to get 6 blocks above the target before dropping the mob. Once it gets within 3 blocks on both the X and Z axis, it'll drop the mob and give it Slow Falling II for 10 seconds. It is not required to be at the desired Y position to drop. The ability to pick up spore mobs is unique to the base variant, meaning other variants can't do this.

• Capable of dragging targets closer to it from ~1.66 blocks, similar to the Slasher. They can't pull mobs when on the ground, however. This mechanic is unique to the base variant.

• 20% of Phayrie are variated. The Phayres has three variants, meaning a 6.6% chance for each variant.

  • The Kidnapper Phayres has a 1.2x size increase. It will attempt to pick up its target and drop them from a large height, including players. This variant has 2x health and armor.

  • The Kamikaze Phayres, when reaching below 50% health, will attempt to get near a target and blow up with a blast strength of 2 and leave a lingering cloud of Mycelium Infection III for 10 seconds and Marker for 30 seconds.

  • Noxious Phayrie are ranged combatants, firing groups of stingers that inflict Poison III for 10 seconds and Mycelium Infection for 10 seconds.

Behavior

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

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

• Has a follow range of 48 blocks.

• Phayrie 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.

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

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

• 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.
