Thornhusks

[Porkolt]

So I was fighting some Thornhusks in Muskroot's quest just now.

These monsters damage and poison you on hitting them. The description clearly states that they're covered in sharp thorns, so the reason why seems obvious enough.

Them still damaging when you hit them with a ranged weapon, however, doesn't make any sense. Yet that's still the case!

Bug or feature?

I can confirm this, I'm guessing they have some sort of onhit property on the skin or armor. Sucks a bit that the obvious counter to them isn't one.

Bump. This appears to not have been changed.

I once added onhit wail of banshee to some armor.

The results were positively amusing. A banshee for every goblin!
