Polyps are a type of enemy found in the Clockworks.

Traits

Spawns in place of turrets in slime-themed areas, such as a Lichenous Lair. Unlike normal turrets, Polyps can see in all directions, so it is impossible to sneak up on them. Despite having a slime theme, the Polyp will not spawn in the Royal Jelly Palace with the exception of the battle royale.

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

  • 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".
