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.

Types

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/missles 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 omni-directional detection abilities. Aside from these details, fighting a polyp differs little from confronting a gun puppy or howlitzer and should be treated accordingly.
