Okay, so what's going on you may ask? Well, the projectiles fired by the monster's attack in melee are the same as the ones used by Heretic's powered-up Phoenix Rod: upon hitting players, these projectiles render them immobile for a very short period of time. The more they're hit, the longer it'll take before they regain their mobility. The odd thing here, is that this doesn't happen under normal circumstances. Being invulnerable is one case where it'll happen. Again, it's one of those where I can't say for certain whether it was an oversight on the part of the monster's author(s) or an intended behavior.

I'll see about submitting an update for the monster that gets rid of this behavior. Last edit: 7 years 11 months ago by Blue Shadow.
