Can be toggled in the map editor to sporadically spit fireballs.

Seems good to me, I'll wait for like 24 hours from the time I post this though to see if Gothic has anything to say or notices any issue.

By the way in case you want to, you can replace a state duration in DECORATE with Random() to make the state last a random amount of frames, which would make a state like the spitter state on the cauldrons take a random amount of time before trying to spit fire. Also the cauldrons seem a little too wide, a radius of 24 would be more accurate, since with a radius of 32 it looks like you are getting blocked by nothing. You don't need to change these things if you don't want to though, and once the 24 hours pass I'll update the resource anyway.

Ok thanks for the tips. I will keep in mind the random state duration for the future that could be very useful.

I have reduced the radius as suggested. See attached for new file.
