Flagpole
Flagpoles are enemies consisting of 2 parts: a head and body. A Flagpole's body will remain stationary in place, while the head, connected to it by a dangling fleshy cord, will float slowly after Isaac behaving like a Maw. When the head gets in range of Isaac it will periodically fire a cluster of projectiles towards him, the head can float over obstacles but not shoot over them. Occasionally a Flagpole's body will reel in the head, bringing it up into the ceiling, before lowering it down again nearby Isaac's position. This will happen either: after a while, once the head has fired 2 clusters of projectiles, or if the head is unable to fire projectiles at Isaac; being too far away from him or blocked by obstacles.
If a Flagpole's body is killed first, the head will fall down and burst into a spray of short-ranged projectiles in all directions and a pool of red creep. If the head is killed first, the body gets up from sitting and becomes a pale-colored Pacer.
Notes
- Due to a Flagpole's head and body still being considered different entities, status effects and effects like the
Eternal Flickerspirit will only affect one of the parts.
- If a Flagpole spawns as a champion, both parts will be champions, however they can spawn as different types from each other.
Trivia
- Flagpoles were added in the Spitshine update.
