It is a very unlikely combination. You are much more likely to be paralysed by something and then chewed to death by something else. > That said, I'm not entirely convinced yet that drowning is the way to go > here. I think that if we want trampling (and I think we do), then we should live with the consequences, which are some unfortunate casualties. Note that the player can adapt to trample+drown much better than she could to paralyse+chew. > We could also apply the bonus damage with a different flavour message > (falling to the ground, say). Yes, I know, but I find these lukewarm. You see monsters push you around, so you know what to expect. If you're standing on a cliff, and someone pushes you, you fall down. > Can any of the monsters capable of trampling be generated in the Shoals? Until Eino agrees to revert his commit, yes :) (Tramplers used to be just all elephants and the larger dragons. Eino extended this to (death) yaks.)
