===== General Modifiers =====

These modifiers are common enough to keep in a simple reference here rather than copy out into every relevant entry in the Bestiary.

=== Decaying ===

  * Decaying Monsters generally move jerkily and suddenly.  They may talk, but talk in unconnected fragments that make no sense.  They all have the same effects:
    * **Technophobia** - all Decaying creatures will prioritise targets displaying complex technology
    * **Unharvestable** - all Decaying creatures all PING to HARVEST
    * **Brittle** - all Decaying creatures die immediately upon losing all of their hits and shatter into rusty dust
    * Always PING Drain.

=== Big ===

  * Big creatures are lumbering and tough, and generally resistant to being pulled around.  They generally have the following effects:
    * **Sturdy** - always call PING to STRIKEDOWN
    * **Heavy** - always take PUSH and PULL for 5m instead of the full length

=== Inorganic ===

  * Inorganic entities are particularly susceptible to electrical effects.
  * Inorganic creatures take BURN at 5s but ZAP at 10s.

=== Programmed ===

  * Programmed entities - usually inorganic - follow a set of rules to the letter.
  * These should generally be made obvious to the Monster playing them.

=== Static ===

  * Static entities cannot move of their own volition.  They may usually still rotate.
  * Take STRIKEDOWN, PUSH, or PULL as BREAK.

=== Composite ===

  * This Monster is a big Monster made of several components.  The creature should stay broadly together and have behaviour defined if one part gets destroyed.

=== Ruthless ===

  * This Monster can and will call EXECUTE on downed players with 10s of roleplay.

=== Amorphous ===

  * This monster is made up of some largely undifferentiated parts - e.g a swarm of insects, a slime creature, nanite goop
  * Freely PING STRIKEDOWN, PULL, and BREAK, 
  * Take PUSH at 5m rather than ten
  * Collapse into a pile of gloop after 30s downed (i.e. can’t be HARVESTed or scanned unless done quickly)
