Developer V2C Posted October 29, 2025 Developer Share Posted October 29, 2025 Main update post here. Changes Revived merms from lunar mutation will remember their original home and leader (if they are of lunar affinity) Tuned Crystal-Crested Buzzards flamethrower cooldown, damage, and lifetime. Crystal-Crested Buzzards won’t stack walls of flame on top of each other, and will instead extend the lifetime of existing flames when firebreathing. Horror Hounds and Permafrost Pengulls will not target Crystal-Crested Buzzards. Bug Fixes Fixed Shadow Merms from attempting to perform a lunar mutation. Fixed being able to indirectly hire Lunar Merms as a non-Lunar aligned Wurt through recruiting other nearby merms. Fixed an uncommon crash with the circling Crystal-Crested Buzzards when moving around in the world. Fixed a case where a gestalt possessable corpse can lose its gestalt. Fixed the Shattered Spider Hole regenerating all its spiders when being mined.

To be fair, have you seen what they used to do? They could turn a whole screen into flame and stun dfly. I hope they don't get reduced to non-dangerous levels though, I like some of the danger aspect. 12 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168552-game-update-696980/#findComment-1841217 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this, these buzzards could kill a treeguard in one strike, and multiple buzzards could take down a dragonfly.
