Characteristics

In terms of appearance, men o' war are just palette swaps of healslimes. Their floats are often a dull, grayish color while their tentacles sport a dark blue-green shade.

Despite this similarity, men o' war have no healing abilities. They are aquatic monsters well-versed in the use of paralysis inducing abilities, with a swarm of men o' war being as potentially dangerous as instant-death inducing monsters.

Appearances
