Tumorhead

Tumorhead is a Core enemy with an aggressive reactive behavior: when struck, it immediately dashes forward toward its attacker rather than retreating. Its melee attack knocks targets back 3 tiles on each hit. This combination makes it punishing to engage at close range — hitting it triggers a forward lunge, and any follow-up melee receives the knockback treatment. Ranged attacks from a position it cannot easily close on are the safest approach.
