Groberfub

Groberfubs are the Hyper Evolution of Leapers, belonging in the Hyper Evolved tier. They are highly mobile, powerful and capable melee combatants.

Spawning

• Evolved from a Leaper when it obtains at least 7 Evolution Points and its 10 minute Evolution timer expires. Once it does, it will Evolve into a Groberfub.

• Can be spawned by Challenge Watchers as a special mob during a Challenge Raid.

• Can be spawned by Vigils during the third wave of a Vigil Raid.

• Can be spawned by the Reinforcement System.

Unique Behavior

• Groberfubs have four different attacks they may use when attempting to deal melee damage. Each attack has a 25% chance to be used per instance of dealing damage.

  • When a Groberfub performs its smash attack, it checks within a 3 block range of the target for blocks with a hardness of below 3 and above -1, that have Air beneath them, and that aren't exactly 2 blocks away from the target on any given axis. Applicable blocks have a 30% chance to become affected by gravity and fall.

  • A Groberfub's kick attack deals 3 knockback to the target, as well as 50% of the damage piercing through Armor, meaning it ignores it.

  • The slap attack of Groberfubs has two variations; they will either slap with their left hand or right hand, meaning the slap counts as two different attacks. Slaps inflict Nausea I for 10 seconds and Weakness I for 5 seconds.

• Every 10 seconds, while a Groberfub has a target within 3 to 6 blocks, the Groberfub will perform its rampage attack. During rampages, Groberfubs will continually charge at their target, rapidly dealing 2 damage (x1 heart) and 1.2 knockback every 5 ticks, as well as throwing the target back and fourth. While a Groberfub rampages, it takes 50% less damage. Groberfubs will rampage for 1 second before they go back on cooldown. Rampage damage does not inflict Mycelium Infection.

• If a Groberfub falls from a height that is more than 8 blocks, it will perform a stomp attack. It checks within a 7 block range of itself for blocks with a hardness of below 3 and above -1, that have Air beneath them, and that aren't exactly 2 blocks away from itself on any given axis. Applicable blocks have a 30% chance to become affected by gravity and fall.

• While a Groberfub has a target, it can perform large leaps towards its target. Groberfubs cannot leap in liquids. Additionally, Groberfubs can also perform smaller pounces towards their targets when in close range. They can utilize this to leap across small gaps to reach targets.

• Groberfubs are able to climb blocks, similarly to Spiders.

• Groberfubs are immune to fall damage.

• The melee attacks of Groberfubs (excluding rampage damage) deals 3 knockback.

• When naming a Groberfub "Omni-Man" or "Nolan", its model will change to be wearing the suit of Omni-Man, in addition to having noticeable cheeks. "Omni-Man" Groberfub skins also have unique idle noises.
