Push is an attack used by combatants too injured to use normal attacks or by a creature who possesses no actual attacks.
Examples are spine damaged dwarves who cannot otherwise attack and Giant grasshoppers who have no attacks. Pushing is always treated a blunt attack and depending on the size of the creature can be harmless or very deadly. A push from a large creature can break bones or skulls easily because of all the weight behind that push.
Giant sponges in particular are well known push killers, because of their great size.
Note that despite the name, a push doesn't actually move the target creature unless they dodge out of the way or are sent flying from it. It is treated like any other melee attack. Push attacks cannot be aimed.
Creatures who use push attacks[edit]
These creatures are incapable of attacking normally and thus will use the push attack whenever they attack in combat.
