Trivia
Trivia[]
- The effect can be applied to any AI or Animal, but shows no effect on Cube Monsters.
- The effect was planned to have been introduced around Season 5 with a foraged "Hot Sauce" consumable. It was eventually scrapped (and most likely recycled into the Pepper) while its model was recycled for a prop available in Creative.
