I've tried my best to make the icon color system simple. The icons roughly categorize the modifiers as:
- Potion: Monster damage applied to another player stat
- Broken Shield: Monster ignores armor or breaks shield
- Apple: Monster has food drain
- Sword: Monster attack is infused
- Circle: Monster has shield
- Asterisk: Monster has Soul Eater
- Plus Square: Monster has improved attribute
- Shield: Monster has immunnity
- Skull: Monster spawns something on death
Compatibility
This mod is mostly compatible with CreatureLevelandLootControl (CLLC).
- Not compatible with CLLC special effects and infusions. Disable these in the CLLC config file.
- CLLC max monster level cap works fine. I encourage using this feature to increase total modifiers per monster!

Mod Support & Feeback.
Please feel free to share any any all feedback or ask questions. You can find me on my own modding Discord.
Known Issues
- There is a list of yellow warnings from Unity about incorrect shaders at the beginning of your log. This does not cause any game breaking bugs, just an warning.
- If two monsters die simultaneosly while nearby a monster with soul eater, a red error will show in the log. I am aware of why this happens but haven't found a solution yet. I've not observed any game breaking bugs from this either.
- An error will occur when a projectile is fired inside two shield domes.
