Festering Zombie

Purulent Zombies are enemies found in the Ancient Sewers, Stilt Village, and the Toxic Sewers (4+ BSC). They throw eggs at the player that spawn Corpse Worms. When close they will do a regular swiping attack.

Behavior
Purulent Zombies move slowly and use one of the following moves:


 * When the player is close, they use the same melee attack regular Zombies do.
 * When the player is far, the throw Corpse Worm eggs, which hatch and immediately attack the player. The eggs travel through walls and floors.

Strategy

 * The eggs thrown by the Sewers variant can be parried, which will then spawn friendly pink biters to fight for you. This is indicated by a pink heart icon just above the parried attack.
 * 3 Biters are spawned each time. These have their separate counters and if more biters are spawned this way before the previous ones despawn, the earliest summoned ones despawn.
 * The regular melee attacks both variants have can be rolled through and parried.
