Summary0013211: Upper Body of reanimated wool is immune to direct attacks
DescriptionThe "upper body" of any reanimated wool appears to be completely impervious to direct attacks, which is odd given the head and lower body are able to be damaged normally (as are other parts).
(The upper body attack results here are "passes right through" for sharp and "glances off" for blunt, neither of which appears to leave any impact even with sustained attacks)

This is *generally* not too problematic by default, since you can target the other body parts which will take damage properly, but can lead to issues when combined with modded (or future) non-default-quadruped wool-producers.
Steps To Reproduce1. Start the object testing arena
2. Create an animal with wool (such as Sheep, Alpaca, etc), and kill it without (preferrably via cutting off its limbs & bloodloss as to not prevent necromancy)
3. Butcher it, then reanimate its wool via Necromancy.
4. Attempt to attack the UPPER BODY of the now-undead wool with any weapon.
5. Watch as any sharp attacks pass through the target body part, and any blunt attacks glance right off.
Additional InformationDoes not seem to apply to reanimated skin, the upper body of which appears to take standard impact from blunt & sharp attacks.
