A bunch of texts related to Thorn Whip have been changed

"{KEYWORD}Stun: {STAT}Can stun zombies while attacking them.\n{KEYWORD}Collateral damage: {STAT}Deals damage to zombies that attack it.\n{FLAVOR}Thorn Whip is not interested in small talk.

The Almanac description of Volt Snapdragon has changed. Before:
"{FLAVOR}Volt Snapdragon doesn’t overwhelm its enemies instantly — it escalates. A steady hum builds into a crackling roar as its Thunder Beam grows hotter and brighter. The longer a zombie survives, the worse it gets. Sparks leap outward, chaining across the horde. By the time the voltage peaks, the lawn smells faintly of ozone… and regret.",
Now:
"{FLAVOR}Volt Snapdragon has always been fascinated by energy. While other Snapdragons breathe fire or frost, he prefers something a little more… electrifying. “It’s all about making a strong connection,” he says. “And maintaining it.",
The names of some zombies that are not in the Almanac have been defined - obviously because we'll have quests to kill them in a future Thymed event:
"ZOMBIE_SUMMER_ARMOR1", "Summer Conehead Zombie", "ZOMBIE_SUMMER_BASIC", "Summer Zombie", "ZOMBIE_SUMMER_FLAG", "Summer Flag Zombie",
