Axolotl Infinite Stun-Locks
Any way to break free of them? Maybe break out of the bubble sooner? It seems to not matter how far up the block above you is, I float till I hit it, then come crashing down to take damage and get bubbled again. Rinse/repeat. I feel like it's entirely unfair and ever encounter so far has been life ending.

You have a small amount of control within the bubble. Push to either side and you can move it slowly. Of course, if the distance to the next wall/ceiling is short enough, then you are in an infinite stunlock, but I've gotten out of them before.

Frankly, no different from rockdogs infinitely fireballing you. A death sentence either way... Kinda stupid. You'd think there would be a brief moment to get away.

Oh well, i consider both a enemy, and kill them with extreme caution and predjudice. Or in the most dire scenario, tame and leave em be. Could probably cook em into turkey meat too. I think all mounts are coded to be turned into meat if killed with fire damage. Weird, but useful.

you sadly can only kill and eat Turkeys. Although I do find myself using Rock dogs quite a bit, I have to agree with you on Axolotls since I always telefrag myself with them while just trying to double jump.

I dunno, i keep seeing cooked turkey whenever they die in suspicious off-frame circumstances. Maybe its just my weird luck a offscreen turkey got cooked, or they can be cooked as well. Something to experiment with, i suppose.

Then again, they are fireproof by default, so... Hm... And its pretty hard to find fire in Tidepool if you dont bomb em.

At least the Rock Dogs are polite enough to actually kill you.

Those things are like cats, just toying with their prey until the Ghost gets em. Cruelty at it's highest level.

Ah well, turns out other mounts aren't food. Pity. Would've been neat. I mean, anything's food if you're brave/willing/desperate enough.
Kind of suprised there isn't an ability to caniballize humanoids, if perhaps with a Machete and/or some fire or another Kali artifact (i mean, if we can drink their blood from a cup, consuming the meat isn't much of a stretch).

We can sacrifice nearly anything (including ourselves) to a evil blood God, so morally it wouldn't be any worse to do. :P
Ah well, even if they can't be eaten, they're still getting bombed. Screw em. They're like tikimen on steroids.

It's pretty rare that you actually get fully trapped by an axolotl; you can almost always drift out. They can eat a lot of time, though.

I want to love them, since they are such a cool and unique mount, what with teleporting plus unique water movement, but... I'm so bad with teleporters, honestly. XD
