I wanted to make a custom monster that uses the brain's appearance (recolored, of course). But even if it's a character with just the brain's appearance, it always gets the "doubles ATK power of monsters" description...even when it doesn't actually do that. Similarly, if I want an antlion-looking or water skipper-looking monster that I don't want to be seen as water-dwelling...

In general, it'd be nice to have a command, maybe something under "behavior", that gets rid of those default descriptions. And yes, I checked that "standard" behavior does not do this.

EDIT: Okay never mind, apparently character brains do double monsters' attack, even with _MyMonsterATKMult set to 100. So is that a separate feature request or a bug report, then?

"Set movement type Ground" will get rid of "Water-dwelling".

Character brains doubling monsters' ATK probably won't be changed in case it affects existing rooms. It can be counteracted by setting _MyMonsterATKMult to 50, but then it will still have the descriptive text.

So I agree that it would be good to have a Behavior that removes default description text. As well as brains, this would be useful for custom queens: you could remove "Spawns eggs" if you want it to say "Spawns Slayers" instead.

That makes sense. Just being able to remove the default text would be good enough, then.

P.S. part of the topic title disappeared. It said something like: Command that strips "default" descriptions from characters.

So for some reason the quotation marks made the website eat the rest of the title.
