Failed Experiment

Failed Experiments are large, humanoid enemies found in many biomes once 4 or more Boss Stem Cells are activated.

Behavior

 * Punches in 3-hit combo, with a final slam attack where it smashes the ground. The Failed Experiment can change the direction it's facing after performing the three quick punches.
 * Will leap towards the Beheaded when not in melee range. Failed Experiments can't leap to another platform. Instead, they stop when they encounter an edge, as the case with the Zombie.
 * The first attempt to damage it will end with the Failed Experiment dashing behind the Beheaded. It cannot perform another dodge until 15 seconds elapse. Note that it will still dodge if the first attempt to damage it is with a parry using a shield.

Elite Failed Experiments have no attack pattern changes, but their leap is a lot faster, and harder to stun, as with any other elite.

Strategy

 * Both of its attacks can be dodged by rolling as well as parrying. However, it can dodge parries if it is the first “attack” directed at it, so it may be better to hit it with something else first so that you can parry it without interruption.
