Health Bar

A health bar is a small window that follows one creature's health, and it stays on the screen where you drop it. It shows the creature's name in the colour of its notoriety, with a bar under the name and the percent of health left at the right end of the row.

The bar turns green when the creature is poisoned and yellow when it is cursed, and the word "Poisoned" or "Cursed" stands at the right end of the name's line. A frame appears around the bar while the creature is your current target. When the creature is out of range, the name turns grey and the bar empties.

Health Bar, cursed — A bar for a cursed orc brute. The bar is yellow, the word "Cursed" stands beside the percent, and the creature has about a third of its health left.

Health Bar, hurt — Three health bars dropped over the world. They hold a hostile mongbat at three fifths of its health, an orc brute and a pet named Biscuit.

Health Bar, poisoned-pet — A bar for a poisoned pet. The bar is green, the word "Poisoned" stands beside the percent, and the pet's name is in the blue of an innocent.
