You're talking about the ones that walk around in town and the message in chat that says something about Malady's pets are stealing food or whatever? Yeah I only hit them for 1 hp of damage.

They have 500 health and are meant to be hit 500 times by a group of people or a dedicted person, the magic damage doing full damage on them is a bug. We will fix it so magic damage also does 1 hp to them but lower their hp to 10.

Done and live (build 20261027T062237Z), as the dev reply said. Witch Malady's Frog and Black Cat now have 10 HP instead of 500, and every hit on them deals exactly 1 - spells included (some area spells used to hit them for full damage). So ten hits catch one, whatever your class, and their Cursed form still appears after. Re-test: hit one with a warrior or thief attack and with a spell - both should show 1.

Follow-up: the 1-damage rule was first added only in the game client. Now the game server enforces it too: each hit that reaches a Frog or Black Cat counts as 1, whatever the client says, so nobody can one-shot them with a modified client. This is live on all three channels. To re-test: hit a Frog or Black Cat with any attack or spell. Every hit should show 1, and it should fall on the 10th hit, then rise as its Cursed form.
