Aave

Aave (listen Audio.svg) (also known as Spirit) is a group of enemies that apply a status effect to nearby creatures, including you. They have no method of directly attacking, and serve only to cause mayhem with the effects that they apply.

There are four spirits:

  • Viha-Aave (pronunciation unavailable) (also known as Anger Spirit), which applies Berserk Berserk
  • Utu-Aave (listen Audio.svg) (also known as Fog Spirit), which applies Confusion Confusion
  • Neva-Aave (pronunciation unavailable) (also known as Bog Spirit), which applies Slimy Slimy
  • Kaamo-Aave (listen Audio.svg) (also known as Depression Spirit) which applies Weakness Weakness.

Besides the different effects that they apply, they are functionally identical. They leave no corpse upon death.

Behavior

They tend to actively follow you around when they have line of sight. They are not hard targets to dispatch, but their status effects can occasionally help you; Neva-Aave's slime will douse you if you are On fire On fire (but will not prevent you from catching on fire to begin with), and Utu-Aave's confusion can cause enemies to have a tough time getting close.

Amusingly, the spirits will even apply their effects to destructible environmental objects such as Propane Tanks. Besides the Weakness Weakness status, this has no effect. Kaamo-Aave can be considered the most dangerous of the spirits, as the Weakness Weakness effect will cause creatures to take 10x damage from most sources.

Trivia

  • The spirits are affectionately named by the community (in order) Harry, Jerry, Larry, and Garry.
  • These enemy types will spawn significantly more frequently in biomes with the Haunted biome modifier.
