Description
The Soul Fetcher is an AI mob spawned only by Lord Pumpkin. It floats and sneaks up on victims to drag them away, usually into the lava.
The Soul Fetcher has the prime goal to drag you into the lava and therefore killing you. Once it grabs a survivor, it will float in random directions, meaning you aren't guaranteed to be killed in lava once you are grabbed.
Its advantage of not colliding with most matter hinders the killing of this mob. However, if it has grabbed a survivor, it collides with matter. The random movement and the fact it hunts in packs also hinders the easy killing of this mob.
Since Soul Fetchers have their health in Breakable value, they are not damaged by items that do not break doors (Flamethrower, Rambo Knife, etc).
Background Story
Subjects of Lord Pumpkin's empire, many of whom had families and roles in their empire's military. When a mob of survivors stormed their leader's compound in '14, they fought valiantly until the very end to protect their beloved leader and the remnants of their empire from completely crumbling.
After their leader passed, many Soul Fetchers were imprisoned by survivors and experimented on in search of something that could be weaponized against the undead. No such properties were found, and the Soul Fetchers were systematically driven to extinction by 2018.
