Encased Status



The Encased status is meant to be a more severe version of the Muddy status, like how being frozen solid is a more severe version of the Snowman status. Hunters affected by this status become encased in rock from their shoulders down, and it looks like a round boulder attached to the ground.

How it's created

Monsters could Encase hunters by either covering them with mud and them drying it rapidly, using compressed streams of mineral-rich water to condense on and trap a hunter, or possibly more supernatural, Elder Dragon-style tactics.

How it can be cured

It can be cured by wiggling the control stick and mashing the evade button like with Muddy/Snowman, or using two cleansers. It also wears off after 6 seconds.

Inspiration

The idea came from wanting an equivalent for Muddy like Frozen is for Snowman, and also from the formation of stalactites and stalagmites from mineral water.

Pages Planned

I have one page planned so far that uses it, and maybe more to come.
