Hyper Evolved

Hyper Evolved are very powerful mobs, being massive as well. They spawn when an Evolved mob that has a Hyper Evolved form gains seven evolution points, in which a five-minute evolution timer begins. Once the timer is finished, the mob evolves. Evolved mobs with variants cannot have a Hyper Evolved form. Each Evolved mob that is able to further evolve can only have one Hyper. These mobs are usually either towering at around three blocks high, or short, but have large length and width. These mobs are infested with fungal growth, being almost entirely made of light brown fungal armor and overgrown with mushrooms. Hyper Evolved are the final evolution of normal infected and can't further evolve. There are a total of five mobs in their tier.

Hyper Evolved Mobs

Spawning

• Spawned when an Evolved mob that has a Hyper Evolved form gains seven evolution points, in which a five-minute evolution timer begins. Once the timer is finished, the mob evolves into a Hyper Evolved. The transformations go as follows:

  • Knight - Inquisitor

  • Braiomil - Brotkatze

  • Stalker - Wendigo

  • Brute - Ogre

  • Infected Vindicator - Axtwerfer

  • Infected Evoker - Hexenmeister

• Spawned from Arena Tendrils as a special mob during a raid.

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

• Sometimes spawned by a Proto Hivemind when it receives damage, in which it summons a special Verwahrung that holds a Hyper Evolved inside.

Unique Mechanics

• Nests

  • Nests are a mechanic exclusive to Hyper Evolved. They will remember where they evolved and create a nest there. Every now and then they will return to their nest to expend evolution points they gained killing mobs, in turn placing down a Human Remains block for each evolution point they expel.
