Hamud Habob

Adds Hamud Habob, a nasty little dwarf thief in a red cap and a dark cloak, to every land biome, from the Meadows to the Ashlands.

He doesn't want to kill you. He wants your stuff.

• Spots you from up to 50 m if you carry anything worth stealing and nothing blocks his view, and runs at you.
• Snatches on the run: once he is next to you, he grabs a random item from your inventory — backpack, hotbar or even what you are wearing — and is gone before you turn around. No damage, just the theft.
• Flees at almost sprint speed, giggling or shouting his own name, with your item held over his head.
• Kill him and the sack bursts: everything he stole flies out, together with a handful of coins (more for starred Hamuds).
• Nothing to steal? He leaves you alone. An empty-handed viking is not worth his time.
• Fragile like a Surtling (25 HP): catching him is the hard part.
• Dodge or block (facing him, shield up) to save your item. Sprinting away works too — he is just a bit slower than a sprinting player.
• A sack that swells with every theft, glowing eyes, falls on his back when he dies.
• Russian and English names (Хамуд Хабоб).

Installation

Install with r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager. Every player and the server need the mod (Jotunn checks this when connecting).

Manual: put HamudHabob.dll, hamud.glb and the three hamud_*.wav files into one folder inside BepInEx/plugins. Requires Jotunn.

Spawn him with the dev console: spawn HamudHabob.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/wleee.hamudhabob.cfg (server and clients should use the same values):
