Strategy
Like Gun Puppies and Howlitzers, Polyps are generally only a problem in groups: a lone Polyp can be disposed of quite quickly due to how predictable its attacks are. The barbs fired by Polyps move surprisingly slowly compared to the bullets/missiles fired by the other two turrets, but this can be a curse to players used to dodging the bullets from those enemies; finally, players that like killing Howlitzers and Gun Puppies through ambushes will have far less success with Polyps due to their omnidirectional detection abilities. Aside from these details, fighting a Polyp differs little from confronting a Gun Puppy or Howlitzer and should be treated accordingly.
Trivia
- The status variation of this monster along with the Polyp were introduced with release 2011-08-22, the Royal Polar Polyp with release 2011-10-19, and the Compound Polyp with release 2012-07-25.
- Despite the Love Puppy being a construct type, it can spawn in place of a Polyp. This can also happen to Howlitzers.

- Despite Polyps having an omnidirectional sight, they still must turn to fire at a Knight. Curiously, because of such, a frozen Polyp will be restricted to firing in the last direction it was "facing".
