You might be right, but from the in-game description (at least for the mandragoras) the are not armor negating or AP. I think that there are other units with similar attacks such as tenticles on some units you get from crossbreeding but to the best of my knowlege it is not the case with manikins and mandragoras. Perhaps the in-game attack description is wrong? Can anyone answer this more definitively?

And, for the record, I agree that with a 25% chance to hit the non-magic-but-still-poisoned attacks of tritons are the cause for your dead ethereal unit.

i would like to know too if the fatigue damage is an or ap or normal damage . the problem is in my current mp games which is the only way to find out this i have in none the chance to do this .

clearness the following test would give : use a 0 encumberance sc like a vq or pod . then try to bring it up to 35-40 protection and let a friend attack you this sc with lots of carrion beasts . then watch the battle :
if you get about 30-40 fatigue with each hit it is most likely an . if you get about 20 fatigue with each hit it is most likely ap .
if you get only rarely 1-5 fatigue then it is a normal attack .
unfortunately this is hard to test .
