But I guess as far as the game's concerned, it may as well be. I smooshed a Stone Guardian with the Fruitful Staff, whereupon it "died". I airquote "died" not because a construct was never living to begin with, but because this particular construct is dead with 1HP left in it's pool (see here ). Quitting the game then reloading leaves a blank tile where it used to be, but with the appropriate tooltip (i.e., just a plain "Name, Living Status, and description"; no HP scores or buff/debuff descriptions).
