Acid Monster

**Acid Monster** is one of the **mutation** Monster Perks in Unfortunate Spacemen. It is unlocked at rank **7**.

## In-Game Description

*You are positively dripping with acid.*

* Your PARASITE EGG is replaced with an explosive ACID BOMB.
* When you take damage, you SPLASH nearby enemies with your ACID BLOOD.
* You take 90% less TOXIC and ACID damage.
* Your alternative fire throws a BALL OF ACID that explodes into an ACID PUDDLE, coating an area in DEADLY ACID.
* TIP: You can not be harmed by your own acid, so drop it beneath your targets and dive on in for a deadly soup!

## Strategy

The Acid Monster excels at dealing with groups of spacemen and fights best in enclosed spaces where the spacemen have little room to dodge your Acid Spits, Puddles and Blood. The Acid Spit leaves pools of acid that deal continuous damage to spacemen standing inside, which can be used to quickly kill cornered spacemen or to discourage people from following you while retreating. The Acid Bomb, while unable to kill a full HP spaceman, deals instant damage, unlike a Parasite Egg and can potentially harm or kill several enemies at once. They are quite effective near health stations, where injured players would often go after being attacked. You or the traitor can also detonate them from afar by shooting at them.
