Sinister Vytl



Sinister Vytls are rare variations of Vytls that spawn exclusively in the Shadowlands after the Shadow Dragon has been killed. They are approx. 6 blocks long (at the tail).

Tactics
Sinister Vytls are the masters of disguise. They can shapeshift into virtually anything, whether living, dead, or inanimate, and perfectly pose as that person. The only letdown is that their eyes always stay blue, so if you see a blue-eyed passive animal, do not follow it. Sinister Vytls are made for close-range combat, and though they do not have a lot of health (12 <3), they have 8 defense points, which makes it difficult to land an attack (though, any attack from weapons or hands can only go as far down as 1/2 <3). They often will swipe with their claws or focus the mist emitting from their backs to one point and fire a short beam of shadow energy at the Player. This attack can immediately one-hit kill the player, so beware. They usually attack in groups and will drop 1-6 Shadow Keys, 1-4 Dark Coins, and, as a rare drop, 0-1 Sinister Claws.

Habitat
Sinister Vytls will not spawn until the Shadow Dragon is killed. Once it has died, Sinister Vytls will have a 10% chance of spawning per 9 x 9 area of Dark Stone, making them exceptionally difficult to find. After defeating all the side-dimension bosses of the Shadowlands, their spawnrate will increase to 25% per said area.

Trivia

 * Their tails are significantly longer than that of a regular Vytl.
 * Though its body appears to be black, it is actually a very dark shade of purple.
 * There is an error in the Sinister Vytl's code which does not allow nametags named "Dinnerbone" to make it flip upside-down. If this error had not been present, then the Sinister Vytl would be the only hostile mob in the game to be able to have a nametag applied.
