Added sped up Mitites, Unmarked Spectralids, Spotty Bulbears, and Gatling Groinks, from ToolAssistedPikm's video.
(Moving stuff about the VoR's wobbling wall to the Mistake article, as it isn't a glitch, but rather a mistake.)
(Added sped up Mitites, Unmarked Spectralids, Spotty Bulbears, and Gatling Groinks, from ToolAssistedPikm's video.)

===Sped up reviving enemies===
{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | consequences = Depends | p2 = Yes | youtube = ciY7fbGqvbY
| effects = Makes it so a [[Spotty Bulbear]] or [[Gatling Groink]]'s animations are sped up when they [[revive]].
| prereq = Be in a sublevel with at least two of the enemy in question.
| howto = Kill the enemies and retrieve one of the corpses while the others are reviving. If the order you chose is correct, which is not something possible to determine while playing normally, the revived enemies will be sped up.
| notes =<br>
** The creature's animation for waking up after reviving may be skipped altogether.
** For Spotty Bulbears, this effect mostly affects the speed in which they get up and turn, since their animation speed is set to something else when they start walking.
** For Gatling Groinks, this affects almost everything they do, which can include the interval between fired shots and the speed they wobble at when carried.
** Also for Gatling Groinks, the ones that are stationary and the ones that roam around freely belong to different enemy "types", meaning they can't be used interchangeably.
** This glitch will only work if the carcass that gets recovered is of an enemy that is spawned earlier than the enemy that revived, which is something decided when the sublevel loads, meaning it cannot be determined by the player unless external tools are used.
** When three enemies are involved, if the carcass of the first-spawned enemy is recovered and the other two are reviving, what happens depends on which of the two finish reviving first. If the third-spawned revives first, it will be sped up while the other will not. If the second-spawned revives first, then both will be sped up.
** A [[#Sped up spawned enemies|similar glitch]] also affects Mitites and Unmarked Spectralids.

===Sped up spawned enemies===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Depends | p2 = Yes | youtube = ciY7fbGqvbY
| effects = Makes it so a [[Mitite]] or [[Unmarked Spectralids]]'s animations are sped up. This also makes them die quicker.
| prereq = Be in an area or sublevel where you can spawn multiple of the enemy at will. For Mitites, there should be enough [[egg]]s to spawn one group and then spawn another (or for one group to be buried in the ground), and for Unmarked Spectralids there should be enough [[vegetation]] that spawns them when bumped against such as the [[Margaret]] and [[Figwort]] near the base of [[Awakening Wood]].
| howto = Collect carcasses of the enemies in question. Then, spawn some more of that enemy, and some of them will be sped up. For every one carcass you collect, the number of enemies that will be sped up increases by one, and decreases whenever a sped up enemy spawns.
| notes =<br>
** For Mitites that spawn from the ground, one of the Mitites will always be at normal speed.
** A [[#Sped up reviving enemies|similar glitch]] also affects Spotty Bulbears and Gatling Groinks.
| explanation = In memory, there is a list with data about all of the Mitites that can be loaded at once and another for all the Spectralids. When the area or sublevel is loaded, the data on this list is cleared. Whenever a new enemy needs to spawn, it occupies one slot of this list and initializes its data. When that enemy is defeated and its carcass is being beamed up by the Onion, its animation speeds up, which is controlled by one variable in that enemy's slot in memory. Once the enemy is completely absorbed by the Onion, its object vanishes from the game world, and its slot in memory is marked as vacant. When a new enemy is spawned, it takes up the first available slot in memory and initializes some data. The problem comes from the fact that the data that gets initialized does not include the variable that controls the animation speed, and so it just uses whatever was left behind in memory at that point. The reason buried Mitites always have one enemy that is not sped up is because when the area loads, the Mitite responsible for the group is already created and exists as an object in the game world, meaning it uses the regular cleared data in the list.

It can even disconnect from the fire entirely.
