### *Adaptation*

Monarchs, like many other parasites, have the ability to adapt to damage sources they are damaged with. The more hits they take from a certain weapon or by a certain mob, the less damage they will take from that weapon or mob. This process can be slowed by lighting the parasite on fire, which is highly recommended.

### *Orbs*

Orbs are red, translucent, swelling "auras" that can be produced by Monarchs when in combat. They can apply Exhaustion to players, add a cooldown to their items, and apply potion effects to entities inside their range. Monarch orbs can also steal XP from players.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Exhaustion is a vanilla mechanic that controls how fast the player's saturation or hunger depletes. When the player reaches an exhaustion value of at least 4, the player's saturation *(or hunger, if saturation is 0)* is decreased by 1 point, and the exhaustion value is decreased by 4. For more information on exhaustion, see Hunger on the Minecraft Wiki.
2. ↑ When a parasite's Damage Cap is activated, it will be given the Rage effect for 7 seconds.
3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Point Reduction Value and Point Reduction Cap are used to calculate how many times a parasite can learn a damage source before reaching its maximum immunity (this does not always mean it will be immune to the source). For example, the Monarch can become up to 100% immune to any damage source. See Adaptation System for more info.
