Yorb

A Yorb in the Stygian Study.

The Yorb is a flying invulnerable void enemy first encountered in The Stygian Study that behaves more like a hazard than an enemy, bouncing off terrain and inflicting damage on contact with the player.

## Behaviour

Yorbs' behaviour is straightforward: they start flying in a random direction as you enter the room and simply bounce off of terrain continuously. They always travel in a straight line (making them predictable), don't have any attacks and never target the player in any way. They are completely invulnerable, cannot be attacked, and though they can steal life on hit (with the  Burden of Blood), this has no effect on them.

However, Yorbs can still be  Frozen using for example  Winter's Shout or  Freeze Strike, stopping their movement and rendering them harmless temporarily.

Unlike Orbs they cannot be Spin Kicked, but can still be launched into other enemies for damage using the Boxer's  Knockout Punch.

Since Orbs deal damage by ramming into the player, they **always deal contact damage**.

The most important feature of the Yorb is that **it's made of Void**. It is therefore possible to **safely pass through them** by void dashing if you have the  Pallas' Void Bell heirloom.

Since it's classified as an enemy (and not as a biome hazard like the Nightmare) the Yorb is affected by enemy-specific Burdens in New Game Plus, but it is not affected by the  Burden of Ruin. This means it can move faster, deal more damage, shred Armor on hit, and evolve into a more dangerous variant of itself depending on the burdens taken.

## Attacks

Yorbs don't have any attack, they just bounce around the room hurting the player if they come into contact with them.

Use Void Dashes to safely dash through them and avoid being hit.

## Location

Yorbs can only appear naturally in The Stygian Study.

Once you reach NG+1 and unlock the use of burdens, each level of  Burden of Evolution enabled will add:

* a 10% chance for an Orb to instead spawn as a Yorb, making it possible to encounter them in Citadel Agartha and the Kerguelen Plateau
* a 10% chance for a Yorb in The Stygian Study to instead spawn as a the highest Orb variant, the Zyorb.

## Variants

*Orbs are one of the only enemy family to also feature a Mini-Boss variant, along with Rocket Boxes and Plinkies.*
