Cancer Golems are a very dangerous and rather common enemy, present on every map. If a player begins frequently using a Cigar type item, a Cancer Golem will spawn and start following them. At first, the golem merely watches from a distance and does not attack, and retreats when approached. If the player continues using the Cigar items, the Cancer Golem will cast the deadly Lung Cancer spell on them, and continue stalking them. If the player does not treat the Lung Cancer spell, they will die, and the Cancer Golem will laugh at their corpse before dissolving into smoke and stalking someone else. If the spell is treated and removed through magic or technological means, the Golem will become visibly angry and disappear. Attacking the Golems do very little damage to it, no matter what weapons the player uses. They will not fight back if attacked. If killed, they will merely reform after a short period of time and continue following the player. If the player stops using the Cigar type items, the Cancer Golem will disappear.
Description
Cancer Golems are tall, evil beings that resemble an upright cigar with a human-like face and two arms. The top of their head is burning, releasing smoke into the air. They are merciless and cruel, killing anyone who dares to use the Cigar items for prolonged periods of time. They do not hesitate to tear apart families. When they are present, the mood of some nearby NPCs becomes negative. Sometimes, they are seen creepily smiling at the player from their watching position, singing dark and terrifying songs, and slowly waving at the player. They do not interact with other NPCs, but they have been known to scowl at them and laugh if anyone dies. They are known to even kill children and non-smokers who hang around smokers too long and gain the [passive] smoking trait. If the player attempts to interact with the Golem, the Golem will usually not respond, smile at them, or mock them in some way. They drop no items when killed, but making them go away gives XP.
