Description[]

Initially, Gluggs[1][2] (aka Giant Boulderbacks[3]) are completely hidden in solid terrain, curled up into a sphere. When Trace is almost above them, they jump out, destroying the solid blocks they are inside of. They continue jumping when Trace is near.

They can roll into a sphere and are impervious to attack while curled up. When airborne, they are vulnerable to Trace's weapons. Their shell is equivalent to Trace's Laser Drill in its block destroying ability, but instantly does 10000 damage to destructible blocks.

Corrupted Form[]

When corrupted, they destroy the blocks underneath them as well as above. This makes their next jump easier to jump over if merely avoiding them (rather than killing them). Furthermore, they wait twice as long between repeated jumps.

The corrupted block destroying ability of their shells is more powerful, equivalent only to the Red Coat, corrupted Gill beams, corrupted pink Loop Diatoms, corrupted Spirus and corrupted Jorms. It instantly does 10000 damage to blocks.
