1. Mold Men

• Behavior: Non-hostile but essential for progression.
• Strategy:
  • Found early in the game, they remain immobile until extracted from their pods.

    • Scoop Machine (Violent): Extracts the creature forcefully, killing it. You can then take its arm to progress.
    • Saw Machine (Merciful): Gently removes the pod, freeing the Mold Man. It will assist in unlocking a door but will be left behind.
• Tip: Both methods allow progression—choose based on preference.
