Summary	0013353: Procedurally generated beasts with BREATHE_GLOB attacks don't define poison material
Description	When forgotten beasts, titans, demons, and other such creatures are generated with "deadly spittle" (i.e. the "BREATHE_GLOB" attack), they fail to actually define the POISON material used by the attack; as a result, the creature will spit globs of the wrong material (and for beasts made of an inorganic material, it could end up as "unknown creature material" due to the creature's material list being completely empty). The error is in data/vanilla/vanilla_procedural/scripts/generators/creatures/shared_info.lua, line 2115-ish - it needs to add the "USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:POISON:..." line and also call "add_poison_bits" (as the other cases do).

Quietust 2025-11-21 10:22 reporter ~0042998	In the same "attack_tweaks" list, there are a few other minor typos: BREATHE_TRAILING_FLOW and BREATHE_UNDIRECTED both generate messages lacking exclamation points if they are LIQUIDs (i.e. "Beware its poisonous vapors" instead of "Beware its poisonous vapors!").
