Greebling Riders are neutral mobs that can be found in any biome in the Betweenlands, but mostly only at high altitudes.
Description[]
Greebling Riders are Greeblings riding Chiromaws. The Greebling wields a Simple Slingshot, which it has a chance of dropping upon death.
Behavior[]
As neutral mobs, Greebling Riders will target anything that attacks them, retaliating by pelting their assailants with Betweenstone Pebbles. However, if the player is afflicted with Stench, they will attack on sight. Additionally, the riders will cause mischief by attacking puller mobs for airborne Draetons. This makes them a hazard for players traveling the skies by airship, as they will continue to attack until all puller mobs have been killed, slowing the Draeton or even leaving it unable to move. If these pebbles hit the craft itself, they may also cause leakages. Greebling Riders will also target nearby Chiromaw Matriarchs. Riders will not fire at targets that are near them, prioritizing moving away from their targets over attacking them.
Upon being killed, the Greebling will use a Volarpad to glide down, before vanishing into a burst of leaves after a few seconds. It will also vanish if it collides with a block or if a player gets too close to it.
