Delusioner

Delusioners belong in the Organoid tier.

Spawning

• Spawned by a Proto Hivemind when it detects a threat.

Unique Behavior

• The Delusioner has four spells at its disposal, and there are two parameters that decide which spell is used. First, if there are any allies nearby (more than 3 in a 4.5 block horizontally and 5.5 block vertically area around the Delusioner.) Second, the distance from the target (if it is within ~11.8 blocks or beyond that.)

  • If there are nearby allies and target is farther than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its teleportation spell.

    • Its teleportation spell will teleport all allies in a 16.5 block horizontally and 17.5 block vertically area within 16 blocks of its target.

  • If there are nearby allies and target is closer than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its invisibility spell.

    • Its invisibility spell will give all allies in a 16.5 block horizontally and 17.5 block vertically area invisibility for 30 seconds.

  • If there are no nearby allies and target is farther than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its arrows spell.

    • Its arrows spell summons 3 - 7 tipped fire arrows with Mycelium Infection for 30 seconds at a random position 3 blocks above the target's head, aimed towards the target.

  • If there are no nearby allies and target is closer than ~11.8 blocks, it will summon Hallucinations.

    • It will summon 2 - 5 Hallucinations on the Delusioner that belong to no one (meaning all players can see them.) Their target will be set to the Delusioner's target.

• The Delusioner has one variant, with a 50% chance per variant including the regular Delusioner.

  • The Enchanter Delusioner has a set of four unique spells that it will use instead of the regular ones.

    • If there are nearby allies and target is farther than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its endurance spell.

      • It looks for any Spore mobs in a 16.5 block horizontally and 17.5 block vertically area. If they can wear armor (Infected Adventurers, Nuckelavees, and Protectors), it will enchant their boots with either Feature Falling, Depth Strider, or Swift Sneak at max level. If the nearby allies can't wear armor, it will instead give them Speed for 10 minutes with a random amplifier between 1 - 3 with the particles hidden.

    • If there are nearby allies and target is closer than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its protection spell.

      • It looks for any Spore mobs in a 16.5 block horizontally and 17.5 block vertically area. If they can wear armor (Infected Adventurers, Nuckelavees, and Protectors), it will enchant all of their armor with either Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, or Fire Protection at max level. If the nearby allies can't wear armor, it will instead give them Resistance for 5 minutes with a random amplifier between 1 - 2 with the particles hidden.

    • If there are no nearby allies and target is farther than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its lightning spell.

      • It first looks for mobs that can be struck by lightning (Creepers, Villagers, Pigs, etc.) within a 16x16x16 cube around the target. If it finds any, it will strike them with lightning. If it finds none, it will summon a lightning bolt close to the target.

    • If there are no nearby allies and target is closer than ~11.8 blocks, it will cast its fireballs spell.

      • It shoots 1 - 3 small fireballs at its target.

Behavior

• Delusioners are ranged combatants, attacking mobs with Infected forms, golems, and most hostile mobs.

• Has a follow range of 60 blocks.

• Delusioners are incapable of movement.

• Delusioners will attempt to burrow and despawn if there are 5 other Organoids in a 36 block range around it.

• Able to breath underwater.

• Delusioners have a type of passive regeneration. This is disabled while they are under the effects of the cold.

Lore

• Delusioners are the product of illusioners, who kept avoided the spore with their spells. So, when the spore does catch them, in spite, they completely rip them apart and put them back together. The illusioners that this happens to are still conscious. Because of this reason, it is why there is no 'Infected Illusioner' mob.

• The spells that Enchanter Delusioner variants can cast are based on the properties of Minecraft enchantments. Its endurance and protection spells are based on an Enchanting Table's ability to enchant equipment. Its lightning spell is based on the Channeling enchantment. Its fireballs spell is based on the Fire Aspect and Flame enchantments.
