This monster (which I can't think of a name for right now) would move directly towards you, if you are <= twice the distance to the nearest cuttable piece of tar, mud or gel. If you are farther than that, it will go towards the tarstuff instead. If it tries to move on to a square with tarstuff that is cuttable, it will eat it, possibly making babies.

Not that bad. However, I would suggest that it can eat any tarstuff, not just the cuttable bits.

Actually it might have more puzzle potential if it ate uncuttable bits like an adder.

Or, how about we mix adders and decoys in our puzzles, and call it a day?

But won't the adders just eat the decoys and call it a day?

Not if the decoys are somewhere the adders can't get to. Like on a door.

But you can't place decoys on a door.

Very good, Someone Else. Have a cookie.
But you can have scripted characters on a door use "Turn into monster". Or you can place a decoy on non-yellow sister gate.

I just meant puzzles in that case are limited.
