Omega Tyrant: Arch-viles are no longer immune to fluids in 0.9.9.8. Also corrected the time of its attack (2.5 seconds is before the Arch-vile's speed was factored, and through testing ingame, I can confirm its attack takes between 1.5 and 1.6 seconds to complete)

Upon death, it leaves behind a bloody [[corpse]], where it is unable to be resurrected by other Arch-viles nor on [[Nightmare!]] difficulty, but the corpse can still be gibbed and be used to power [[Skull]]s.
 When an Arch-vile attacks, it'll enter a unique state where it "raises its arms", and if the player is still in its vision after 1.563 [[seconds]] passes (rounded to 1.5 or 1.6 depending on how its [[Fractional Time]] works out), its attack will hit the tile the player is on (or was last on if a successful [[dodge]] is executed). If the player moves out of its vision before the attack completes, its attack will target the tile it last saw the player on. If the player is out of its vision and the Arch-vile is damaged before it completes its attack, it will cancel its attack.}}
