Planar Entity Protection

Attention: Planar Entity Protection is not Planar Defense!
Planar Entity Protection is a unique trait exclusive to some Don't Starve Together mobs. It functions as natural armor.
Planar entity protection is a unique type of damage reduction, applicable to planar mobs introduced in From Beyond. It acts similarly to Armor's Protection; it reduces the Physical Damage mobs receive, not affecting other kinds of damage like Planar Damage, Fire or Food damage. However, planar entity protection effectiveness increases with the amount of physical damage dealt in a hit, protecting from more damage the stronger the attack is.
This is the formula for calculating how much hit damage will be taken by a mob with planar entity protection:
Damage Taken = 8 * √(Physical Damage + 16) - 32 + Planar Damage
Examples:
- A Dark Sword normally deals 68 physical damage, but only deals 41 to targets with planar entity protection, resulting in a -39.7% damage decrease.
- A Blow Dart deals 100 physical damage, but only deals 54 to targets with planar entity protection, with a -46.8% damage decrease.
- A single Gunpowder deals 200 physical damage, but only deals 85 to targets with planar entity protection, with a -57.5% damage decrease.
- A full stack of 40 Gunpowder deals 8,000 physical damage, but only deals 684 to targets with planar entity protection, with a -91.5% damage decrease. This is not enough to instantly kill a Deadly Brightshade.
