Olmites are living creatures bearing a resemblance to Olmec. Being mostly red, having two feet instead of limbs and a visible brain, they can also wear gold armor. They can be found wandering around in Neo Babylon.
Behavior
Olmites are very common in Neo Babylon, but are usually a very minor threat depending on the player's weapons. They spawn in 2 variants:
Olmites with helmets walk around similar to cavemen. When spotting a player, they will charge towards the player like a robot. They cannot be stomped or damaged from above. The helmet will break if they take damage.
Olmites with masks will walk around like cavemen too. They don't seem to do much when seeing the player, but their mask allows them to reflect/stop incoming projectiles/attacks from the front. The mask will break if they take damage.
Olmites without any armor will also wander aimlessly, although if they spot the player they are able to attempt to jump on the player, but this will not crush anything.
They are able to spawn stacked on top of each other like tiki totems, and will fall off if damaged.
Trivia
- the olmites seems to come from a mix of mesopotamian, as well as mesoamerican influence. Olmec being a god from mesoamerica, and their connections to tiamat, lahamu, and lamassu coming from mespotamian origins
