Huorns

[Repton]

Two ideas:

1. Huorns should get pass-through-walls for tree walls (i.e. old forest, trollshaws, possibly the fighter pride).

2. Normal trees could occasionally turn into huorns when the player passes by.

Perhaps this could be done with a new trap that randomly turns adjacent trees into huorns. Or maybe huorns could be generated in clumps (like drakelings), but in the walls (like xorn), and undetectable by sensing until they start moving..?

I like it or some subset of the ideas. Increased monster differentiation and special abilities is good.

That'd be interesting (and dangerous).
Also, huorns should be fire vulnerable - Old Man Willow *is*, can't think of a reason why lesser huorns wouldn't be.
