## Appearance

Looks similar to a flower using 10 dandelions while in defensive mode but the flower is white and without a face.

## Stats & Behavior

**Speed:** None, it's immobile

**Behavior:** Neutral, once the player damages its core it will shoot out the rest of its petals, which will reduce your healing for a certain time period depending on the rarity.

On contact with players or petals shoots dandelions that reduce regen. Having dandelions (petals) like players do but bigger size and no regeneration.

## Spawning

The Dandelion (Mob) spawns in Garden, or known as Centralia fields 7.

## Strategy

### General

* Shoot them with ranged petals. They're not that strong unless they're an epic and above Rarity.
* Avoid the Dandelion petals that they shoot at players, or try to stay away from dandelions and shoot them out with Missiles, Peas, Grapes etc (basically any ranged petals).
* If you ram the Dandelion petals, your healing will be decreased by -20%. It might be dangerous if your health is low. Try waiting and avoiding Hornets if you have low health.
* You can also try killing it with just standing nearby, firstly destroying the missile dandelions, then attacking the core.
* You can use stingers or other high-damage petals to clear out an arc of the dandelions so you don't get hit.
* Use soldier ants. They can destroy the missiles,then when then dandelion shoots the remaining missiles,go behind the ants so none of the other missiles can hit you.You could also dodge them,but it's harder.You could use Beetle or Sandstorm too.

### Dandelion Missile Fighting

As you know, the dandelion missiles get launched when the core takes damage. There's some guides how to tank/avoid them.

* Dodge the missiles, you can tank the rare ones.
* Incase the missile is bigger than a rare one, be careful, since they deal a lot of damage and have some health. It's better do dodge them, especially the ultra's missiles.
* Don't get in range (which is normally size of using legendary antennae) to avoid get hit. The missiles despawn when they're out of their range.
* If somebody deals damage to the petals (in case the Dandelion petals are strong enough to oneshot you), stay at the petal they are with, in case they hit the core, which release all the missiles and kills you unexpectedly.
* Due to the sheer amount of players and dandelions, dodging the missiles is not easy. To make matters worse, the health regeneration is reduced, making you more vulternable to Hornet missiles.

## Trivia

* Due to this mob's addition to the game, the Dandelion drops from Hornets changed to an Orange drop.
* High tiers of uranium can be used to farm dandelions efficiently.
* This is the 7th mob to be added which shares the same name as a petal, the previous 6 being (in no particular order) Sponge, Bubble, Rock, Starfish, Cactus and Shell.
* **Dandelion** is the only Stationary-Neutral mob.
* This is the 6th mob to drop only 1 petal. The others are Cactus (Cactus), Fire Ant Egg (Ant Eggs), Ant Egg (Ant Eggs), Sponge (Sponge).
