Summary0005060: Creature said to be weak to "unknown frozen creature substance"
DescriptionI talked to a townsperson and got a bunch of quests to kill night trolls, and one for one of them I got the following line:

"Beware! It is said that only unknown frozen creature substance harms the creature."

I extracted the night creature raws, and the only MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER tokens I see are for silver, copper, iron, bronze, and steel, so I'm assuming this is a display glitch.

In another world, a night creature was properly described as being weak to bismuth bronze.

I've had this happen too. Weirdest part, was that on this world every single time I was sent to a lair on that world (I was NEVER sent to kill bandits, even though bandits did attack), inside, I would find an "I am X Y prepare to die!" PEASANT (okay, one was a baroness) who was easy to kill.

They always said that these people assumed a beastly form to terrorize, and only unknown frozen creature substance could hurt them.

My copper scimitar functioned quite nicely.

Yeah. I don't even know.
