A {{name}} is a [[Zone tier|tier]] 6 creature belonging to the [[oozes]] faction, and is typically found underground. | |||
Gelatinous cupolas attack by moving close to their target and [[engulfing]] them when the cupola is within an adjacent tile. While engulfing a target, a cupola will inhabit the same tile as the creature it is engulfing, and will remain completely stationary.{{Code Reference||class=EngulfingSedentary}} Engulfed creatures will suffer {{Heart}}4-7 damage every round{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Parts.EngulfingDamage}}<ref name="Object"><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref> and will be unable to move; attempting to move will instead cause the creature to perform a melee attack against the cupola. Additionally, the creature will be unable to perform certain physical actions, such as [[Charge]], [[Juke]], and [[Jump]].{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Effects.Engulfed}} Creatures who are being engulfed by a gelatinous cupola cannot be attacked by other creatures, and any attempting to do so will instead target the gelatinous cupola. | |||
A gelatinous cupola will continue to engulf its target until either it or its victim dies. However, the victim can escape being engulfed prematurely through means such as [[Teleportation]] or becoming [[phase|out-of-phase]]. | |||
== Melting Through the Floor == | |||
When a gelatinous cupola engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10 and decrements by 1 each round. When the timer reaches 0, the gelatinous cupola and its victim will forcibly descend from their current strata level by 1 strata. The creature will still be engulfed by the cupola upon landing. If the player is the engulfed creature, the following popup message will be displayed: | |||
{{qud quote|&yThe gelatinous cupola engulfing you melts through the floor! You fall to the level below.}} | |||
This process creates a {{favilink|deep shaft}} in the tile where the cupola melted through the floor. There is no limit to how many times this can occur; however, a gelatinous cupola cannot melt through the floor if an obstacle is present in the strata level below, such as a wall or other impassable object.{{Code Reference|class=EngulfingDescends}} | |||
