Confusing Onyro Behavior

[foreskin stealer]

Recently I've had about 2-3 matches where the ghost was an Onyro, and it's behavior is odd and confusing. It likes to behave like The Twins, swapping interactions between the ghost room and a random area. When I first encountered it I thought it was The Mimic, but I couldn't get fingerprints, and it did turn out to be an Onryo. I looked on the wiki and didn't see anything about this, but it's been happening every time I deal with an Onryo. Is this a bug of some sorts?

idk if Onryo has higher interaction percentage but we encountered similart.

Ghosts' behavior is pretty much broken at the moment. Wait for patches/fixes

Ghost are supposed to roam. Also ghosts can hit things through walls, so it is pretty common to hit things in another room, just on the other side of a wall. I don't know the exact distance but I want to say it is like 2-3 meters that they can reach.

It's not a bug, it's just the ghost roaming around. Some ghosts like Spirit and Oni are fiercely territorial and won't stray too far from the ghost room, but ohers like the Banshee will roam pretty much everywhere. I don't know about the Onryo, but unless the game directly states it's territorial, i'd assume they would also roam.

In response to replies that this behavior with Onyro is 'just roaming'. I know ghosts can roam, but I don't think it's supposed to behave like The Twins, where I'd said "swapping interactions between the ghost room and a random area". Currently, Onyro seems to cycle between interacting with the ghost room and a random (typically far away room) near instantly, back-to-back. I would assume ghosts (excluding The Twins) would have to walk to that area before interacting so erratically.

They do have to walk(or do a ghost event to teleport there). It isn't possible for the onyro to hit two items at the same time long distances away from each other. If that actually happened I am inclined to think someone in the game was hacking.

I've encountered Onyro 4 times recently, and whether I'm alone or with friends (I always play private games), Onyro is very active and constantly interacting across the house. Maybe the devs accidentally tinkered with Onyro when patching the new ghosts?

How do you know it's not a bug? Are you completely sure? Have you played long enough to encounter oddly ghost behavior that mostly deceive you into thinking the ghost is the twins, or make you move all the equipment from room to room every 2 minutes the ghost does a room change (because that's what it does). There is a bug, it has been confirmed by the developers, they said they fixed it in the most recent patch notes (v0.6.2.3), but I'm not sure they did. Here is a gameplay video on version 0.6.2.3 made by Insym.

It's pretty interesting how Goryo is seen all around the map while the journal states that it barely roams (also it's speed is a different bug, I presume caused by music box). Anyway, the topic about ghost behavior is a mess, everybody thinks they know everything about the game, but funny things happen when you start to notice them from playing long enough.

Also, the things you wrote about Spirit, Oni etc., the roaming is not specific to a ghost(s), all ghosts can roam but Goryo barely exits it's room. Though, Wraiths can teleport to a player, Phantoms have an ability to roam (leaves EMF 2 like the Wraith teleport), and Banshees can roam to their target (Should leave EMF 2).
