Mudokons hiding behind the tear Xtractor sprites can be healed and communicated with before releasing the fake mudokons from the tear Xtractors

Interesting... I didn't know the Mudokon's you rescue are hidden-behind the ones getting zapped. I assumed they spawn-in at the moment you release them.

That would explain why if you are in an area where you are able to possess a fart and explode it next to the Xtractors, you get the usual green-coloured gibs, but the Mudokon's being zapped aren't affected by the explosion.

(I don't know the screen-codes, but you can do this in Zulag 12 in the Soulstorm Brewery chapter: take a fart with you into the bottom-area (where there are three sleeping Slogs), and then go past them, and the two Sligs in the next room. On the third, empty screen, possess the fart there and take it into the fourth room and explode it near the Xtractor vats. You'll see green gibs fly-out, but the Mudokon's being zapped aren't affected by the exploding fart.)
