Summary0007117: Hydra is "Attacking you with quickheavywildprecise bite"
DescriptionWhen fighting a hydra in the arena in 0.40.02, noticed that the enemy hydra was able to stack multiple attack styles, at least in the description of the incoming attacks.

Sometimes seen as:
quick bite
quickprecise bite
bite
quickwildprecise bite
quickheavywildprecise bite

Any hydra that I controlled in the arena was only able to select a single attack style for each bite - quick, precise, wild, and heavy were all mutually exclusive.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create two hydras in the arena.
2. Control one, let the other attack you and watch the feedback messages.

Was only observed with Hydra. Attempted to reproduce with other creatures with no success.

Some arena testing in 0.40.06 by adding the [ATTACK_FLAG_INDEPENDENT_MULTIATTACK] tag to attacks on other creatures, such as human punch attacks, shows that this token allows the AI to cheat by adding mutually exclusive attack styles, even with body part attacks that do not possess that token (i.e. the human bite in my test case).
