Wendigo

Wendigos are the evolution of Stalkers, belonging in the Hyper Evolved tier.

Spawning

• Spawned when a Stalker gets 7 evolution points by killing mobs and its evolution timer begins. Once the time is up, they will become a Wendigo.

• 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 can hold a Wendigo inside.

• Spawned in a Military Camp structure when it first generates.

Unique Behavior

• When detecting a target that is farther away than ~17.32 blocks and isn't looking at the Wendigo, it will attempt to stalk it, where it crawls on the ground slowly and covers itself in biological camouflage, which is just the color of the grass of the biome it's in (this accounts for modded biomes.) If the target looks at it or it gets within ~17.32 blocks, it will go into sprint mode, where it gets a speed boost for 20 seconds, and charges at the target. It'll also lose its camouflage. While stalking targets, it will periodically make Villager, Wandering Trader, Enderman, or Pillager noises to confuse or lure its prey.

• When attacking mobs that have armor, it has a 2% chance per armor slot to drop that piece of armor on the ground (8% chance to rip off any armor total.)

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

• Is able to climb up blocks.

Behavior

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

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

• Essentially has Sweeping Edge, as its attack has an AOE.

• Can fall from up to 8 blocks before taking fall damage.

• Has a follow range of 64 blocks.

• Wendigos can see entities through walls if they are closer than 10 blocks.

• Wendigos will create nests (explained on the Hyper Evolved page.)

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

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

• Wendigos do not attempt to group together, nor do they follow mobs. They are lone hunters.

• Infected and Evolved mobs will follow Wendigos.

• 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 blocks with a hardness of 3 or below.

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

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