Normally if a fegundo tries to move against a force arrow, it simply stops. However, if there is a monster on this arrow, the fegundo explodes as if it ran into a wall, etc.

It may be intentional, but to me it's at least a little quirky and unexpected.

It is?
Personally what I found unexpected was that it didn't explode when running into force arrows.

I wasn't expecting them not to explode against arrows, either; though if you think of force arrows as, well, a force, and not a solid object, there's a certain degree of sense there. But I do agree that if the force keeps the fegundo from moving onto that square, it ought to keep the fegundo from moving into the monster.

I don't know...

If we were to give Fegundo a modicum of intelligence, they would know the difference between a force arrow and a force arrow with a monster on it. Given that the force arrow keeps the fegundo from exploding, I say give it the power to choose when to blow up. And killing monsters is indeed a good "blow up!" reason.

Except when a fegundo explodes against a force arrow with a monster on it, the monster is not killed (the fegundo explosion does not go against the force arrow).

Well, they're not *that* smart.

They don't commit suicide if they're heading north and a roach is east of them either so... no, they're definitely not that smart (: .

Related issue: I suggest that adders should not shrink in a situation where a force arrow prevents them from moving onto any adder monster-piece. That is, if the adder would be just as stuck with its own tail shrunk down to length 2 and/or other adders moved out of the way, it would not shrink. The attached patch implements this suggestion.

Fixed both of these for 3.1. Thanks
