Currently only a handful of monsters can interact with each other in ways that do not involve healing. Here are some suggestions for possible monster interactions!

Gremlin Demos and Bombies: In the off chance of encountering these two monsters at the same time, demos would be able to throw bombies that got too close. The bombie would be killed (dropping its loot at the demo's feet) and its skull would be flung at a targetted player similar to a thrown pot. Getting hit by the bombie's head would deal similar damage to getting struck by a howlitzer head with the addition of the status the bombie would have otherwise inflicted.

Lichens and non-slime monsters: A small percentage of normal damage lichens (a likelihood which grows with the lichen's size) will target other monsters rather than players, as determined randomly by the game's code. Provoked monsters would fight back. The inference is that the lichen is hungry...

Menders and thwackers: Attacking a mender with gremlins thwackers nearby will cause all the thwackers within a certain radius to target the attacker.

Of course, these are only some examples of how monsters could interact. Give your own opinion on this idea and/or your own monster interaction concepts here!

My thoughts

Your ideas sounds good, but I don't understand the idea about the lichens. You mean that lichens will attack others monsters?

This would make the AI smarter. I would love this but it would obviously need to be in some way dealt with so the player can make it even, if not counter. I feel instead of bombies it should be the gremlin knockers as pairing undead with gremlins is kinda unfair as they resist what the other is weak to. What the demos could do is if the knocker is hurt the knocker would run up to the demo and tug at his pant leg. The knocker would look down and hand him a low tire pill and full heal the knocker. After the knocker is healed it can be used in a special attack. The demo picks up the knocker and tosses it at a knight. The knocker will be going sticks first and they blow up on contact dealing tons of elemental damage and high odds for a status.

Well...

By normal damage lichens, do you mean the normal lichens or only T1 lichens which literally only inflict normal damage? If you mean the first, this'll make arenas' first area too easy if the spawned giant lichen colony decided to attack every monster else that spawned. Seriously.
Also, why lichens?
