Your Chao is stomping as a clear sign of its anger and aggression, often indicating it's about to initiate an attack, especially if you are standing very close to it. This behavior is a direct precursor to it potentially punching or kicking you.
Understanding the Behavior
When your Chao stomps, it's not just a random action; it's a specific animation triggered by a combination of factors related to its emotional state, alignment, and proximity to you. This behavior is most common in Chao that exhibit a more aggressive or "dark" nature.
Key Conditions for Stomping
For your Chao to start stomping and potentially attacking you, several conditions usually need to be met simultaneously:
- High Anger Level: The Chao's internal anger level must be elevated. This signifies that the Chao is genuinely upset or agitated.
- Existing Bond with Character: There must be some form of relationship or bond between the Chao and the character you are playing as. This means its "bonds with the character" value is greater than 0.
- Dark Alignment: The Chao's alignment leans towards the "Dark" side. Specifically, its alignment value is below 0.5. Dark-aligned Chao are more prone to exhibiting aggressive behaviors.
- Close Proximity to Character: You, as the character, must be standing extremely close to the Chao. This close proximity often acts as the immediate trigger for the stomping animation and subsequent attack.
What Happens When Your Chao Stomps?
When these conditions align, the Chao will stomp its feet, often moving towards you with purpose. This stomping is usually a prelude to a physical confrontation, where the Chao will then attempt to punch and kick your character. It's their way of expressing extreme displeasure and hostility towards you.
What Does This Mean for Your Chao?
A stomping Chao signifies that you have an angry, dark-aligned companion that, despite having a bond with you, is willing to express its frustration through physical aggression when provoked by your close presence. Understanding these triggers can help you interpret your Chao's behavior and their general temperament.
