Talk:Splinter Mine

I'm a bit peturbed by this entry and the reason is that I'm not sure that Splinter Mines are actual creatures. I mean they behave more like (self renewing) traps than anything else. I mean you can't kill them, target them with spells or heal them. I really doubt these should be a creature stub but i'm frankly a bit mystified what to categorise them as. Category:Traps is for the Ranger skills and placing this in that would be confusing (and wrong). Anyone have any ideas or should I just leave it?
 * I'd say it falls into Category:Carried Objects, as you pick it up and carry it. --Rainith 17:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * There's the plant-looking thing that you get the purple thing from, and then there's the purple thing. Are they both called Splinter Mine?  I think the former is a plain Object (like Gearbox) and the latter is a Carried Object.  -PanSola 18:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Been a while since I did the mission, but I think the only this that is a named object is the carried thing. I think after it blows/is picked the plant is not targetable until a new mine generates.  I could be wrong though, long time since I've done that mission.  --Rainith 18:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay just tested it, both the plant and the core/bomb/trap is called Splinter Mine. plus the plant is still targetable even if there is no mine in it (you just get diddly)--William Blackstaff 21:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd say that it falls in both Category:Objects and Category:Carried Objects then. --Rainith 23:46, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
