Sprouts

Sprouts are an early passive NPC that act as low level enemies when attacked and can serve as pets.

General
In the demo sprouts are among the first NPCs encountered and are initially not aggressive to the player or other non-enemy NPCs. In it's natural, passive, state the sprout will attack enemy NPCs such as the skeleton without provocation. Sprouts serve as an early introduction to the pet mechanic.

Combat
In combat sprouts have a single seed shot attack where they shoot a single, slow moving, projectile in a straight line toward their target. A sprout can use this ability once every few seconds.

As A Pet
The Sprout can be tamed by giving them berries. Upon taming the sprout will display a number of hearts after which they will follow the player around and will attack any enemies that get within it's attack range.
