 Starcursed masses can combine and divide randomly. A combined starcursed mass has more HP, but otherwise share the same stats.

-'''Starcursed masses''' are the Lovecraftian equivalents of [[slime creature]]s; they divide and combine randomly, though with a tendency toward dividing and displaying no sign of how many individuals have combined into any one mass. Striking them causes them to regroup.
+'''Starcursed masses''' are the Lovecraftian equivalents of [[slime creature]]s, with two unique mechanics. They can be found in [[the Abyss]].
-Although their HP rises when they combine, their melee attack damage remains the same. This makes them much less dangerous when united, especially because they have an irresistible shriek attack that deals more damage for every individual mass within your [[line of sight]]. When there are 5 or more shrieking together, you may be briefly [[paralyse]]d each time they do so.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
-When facing large groups of them, use whatever bolt or area of effect damage abilities you have to force them back together. The individuals have a mere fraction of the HP shown in their stats, so you'll likely kill some of them and drive the rest to regroup into a nearly harmless lump.
+*Using area-of-effect attacks, like [[Fireball]], will force starcursed masses to regroup. AOEs also deal high damage, since you get to hit multiple targets at a time.

+*Prior to [[0.17]], starcursed masses' shrieking did not affect monsters with [[monster intelligence|mindless]] or insect intelligence.
