Abigail can fake attack clay hounds while they are still in statue form

When a clay varg spawns and we let it remain in its statue form, if Abigail floats to them she will do her attack animation and the hounds will do their injured sound, but no actual damage is taken (at least as far as I can tell, she "attacks" quite long and the hounds still don't die, so I assue she doesn't actually deal damage).
