When a Charged volt goat hits a player with electric insulation who's mounted on a beefalo, the damage is still passed to the player. The damage from this is 25, the damage of a normal volt goat, so the electric damage modifier is negated by the electric insulation but still passed on to the player instead of the beefalo. This damage is still affected by armor, and also procs the affects from bramble husks, scalemail, and bonearmor.
So my question is - Why does this happen? My theory is the electric damage from the attack is passed on after, similar to how when Wagstaff eats butterfly wings and the healing doesn't outright negate the damage from eating raw foods, because the damage is added on after. But shouldn't the beefalo still absorb the physical damage if the player has insulation from the electric damage? Is this some awkward culmination of game mechanics and actually a glitch?
Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated!
