Gup

The  is a returning slime monster, added in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

Primary: Spikes
At close range, the Gup/Geep/Gip attacks by projecting many spikes all over its body, inflicting 300% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a huge area. The Gup will attack if its target is within 30m.

This skill has a cooldown of 3s.

Mitosis
When a Gup dies, it splits into 2 smaller versions of itself, named, which behave otherwise identically to a Gup with half its stats. When a Geep is killed, it splits once again into 2 smaller versions named, also with half its stats.

Tips

 * Gups move quite slowly and are easy to spot, so keeping distance from a faraway Gup is relatively easy. However, if a Gup spawns close by, getting away unscathed may be difficult due to how large its attack hitbox is.
 * On-kill items are extremely effective against Gups, as when the Gup is killed it creates 2 weaker enemies, which each create 2 even weaker enemies when killed. It is possible to repeatedly trigger items like to deal heavy damage to the Geeps and Gips, as well as any enemies in the vicinity.
