Nutritious
- For the property featured in the dungeoneering games, see nutrients.
Nutritious (JP: 栄養) is a phenomenon introduced in Yu-Nama: The Puzzle. It was continued as an ability in No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either!, where it's associated with Rare Breeds.
Overview
Nutritious tiles are designated by a sparkle graphic appearing on their block. Any monster that drops into the puzzle grid can potentially be nutritious, though it's very rare. If a nutritious block is broken, then their nutrients will split in a specific pattern, depending on the grade. This will upgrade surrounding monsters to the next grade; this is the only way to distribute nutrients from grades 4 and up. If a nutritious monster block is linked, they are treated like normal blocks. If a nutritious monster block receives nutrients from another nutritious monster, it will upgrade to the next grade.
Monsters with the Nutritious ability all have a drastically increased chance to spawn as a nutritious block, starting at 3% with a base form at Level 1, and finalising at 25% with a final form at Level 10. For example, a Sticky Amoeba will have a 3% chance at Level 1, and an Imperial Aroma will have a 25% chance at Level 10.
In Yu-Nama: The Puzzle, the nutrients itself is called evolutionary nutrition, and the nutrients distributed is called monster-nurturing nutrition.
