Lumpy

Lumpy is a 9 HP ranged enemy that fires CreepRanged projectiles from a distance, preferring to stay out of melee reach rather than engage directly. Its standoffish approach means it will actively reposition to maintain range, making it a persistent nuisance that chips away at your cats' health from safety.

The Lumpy's ranged-first behavior means it will kite away from approaching cats, firing shots while retreating. This makes it annoying to pin down without fast movement or long-range abilities. In encounters with melee enemies, the Lumpy serves as the backline threat that whittles your cats down while you are focused on the frontline, creating crossfire pressure from multiple angles.

Close the distance quickly with high-movement cats or use abilities that can reach beyond the Lumpy's preferred engagement range. Knockback can push it into corners where it cannot retreat further, making follow-up attacks easy. Its 9 HP is low enough to eliminate in one or two hits once you reach it. In mixed encounters, prioritize Lumpies if their ranged damage is stacking up, but handle melee threats first if they are closer and more immediately dangerous.
