Chum Bag

Chum Bag is a stationary Junkyard and Rift enemy with only 1 HP. It cannot move at all, but compensates with a ranged attack that lobs projectiles up to 5 tiles away. Each projectile spawns a Maggot on any empty tile it hits, steadily flooding the battlefield with small enemies the longer the Chum Bag survives.

The Chum Bag's real danger is its spawning: every turn it survives adds more Maggots to the field, and those Maggots can quickly overwhelm your party through sheer numbers. When killed, the Chum Bag does not simply die; it transforms into a Chummy, a mobile dash-attacker that replaces the stationary spawner threat with a direct melee one.

With its 1 HP, the Chum Bag can be eliminated in a single hit from any source, making it an easy kill if you can reach it. The real decision is when to kill it: immediately to stop Maggot spawning but produce a Chummy, or after dealing with other threats so you can handle the Chummy safely. In most cases, killing it early is correct since every extra turn of Maggot spawning compounds the problem. Position to deal with the resulting Chummy by staying off its cardinal lines.
