Hyper Evolved

Hyper Evolved Mobs

General Spawning

• Spawned when an Evolved Evolves. The following are their possible Evolutions:

  • Knight → Inquisitor

  • Braiomil → Brotkatze

  • Leaper → Groberfub

  • Stalker → Wendigo

  • Brute → Ogre

  • Infected Vindicator → Axtwerfer

• Spawned from Vigils during various waves of a Vigil Raid.

Tier-Unique Mechanics

Nests

When first spawning, Hyper Evolved will set the location they spawned as their Nest. If an idle Hyper Evolved has any Evolution Points, they will return to their Nest. When within 5 blocks of their Nest and having any Evolution Points, Hyper Evolved will expend all Evolution Points they have. For each Evolution Point expelled, one Human Remains block is placed within 10 blocks of the Nest.

Since Hyper Evolved have no further path of Evolution, they have no reason to hold on to Evolution Points, hence why they are turned into Human Remains.

Note that this whole system is different from the nests that Naiads create, despite the mechanics sharing the same name.
