Also updated the demo!
New boss:
-
Savage Mistake, Domain Devourer
- Summoned by the Devourer's Distraction, drops the Abyss spell.

- Sometimes stops and creates portals around itself and its target, then thrusts its tentacles through those portals to attack.
- Fighting it underwater opens more angles not covered by its tentacle attack making it easier to avoid, but causes the ink sacs to be fired further and release lingering ink clouds as they travel.
