A grotesquely twisted and sluggish Plague Rat. It spits pus from a distance.

Overview

Spitter is a hostile creature with a ranged attack that launches two balls of pus in a split arc. Its projectiles do not just harm units; they also damage any structure they hit, including naturally spawning Tiles. That makes it more dangerous than enemies that only threaten rats directly, because it can steadily open gaps in walls, terrain, and other defenses while remaining at a distance.

Because of this, Spitter is best handled as a siege threat rather than a simple combatant. It can pressure fixed defenses from outside melee range, so exposed structures in its path are vulnerable if left unattended. When defending against one, it is safer to intercept it before it can line up repeated shots on important buildings or terrain. If a fight is taking place near valuable infrastructure, keeping combat away from fragile Tiles is especially important, since its attacks can reshape the battlefield as well as deal damage.

  • Its attack pattern is a split arc, so nearby structures or clustered defenders can be hit from multiple angles.
  • Since the projectiles damage structures, walls and other placed objects should not be treated as full protection against it.
  • Natural terrain is also vulnerable, so Spitter can alter paths and fortifications even without directly reaching the player’s units.

The Japanese source also lists Spitter among the resources associated with city import at higher prosperity thresholds, with slot counts changing by prosperity level. At prosperity 1, the listed import group uses 3 slots and includes Luminator, Leaves, Sand, Fish, Water, and Stone. At prosperity 4, another 3-slot group includes Hermit Crab, Halite, Salt, Rope, and Lime Powder. At prosperity 7, a 2-slot group includes Coral, Petals, Limestone, and Oil.
