A foe that splits in two as it dies, lifted from the tower-defense slice's content\creeps.ledger (the splitter's Splitting and its Splitling) and death from content\td.ledger (Mortal). Where it dies, two halves go on from where it fell: each made on its side with the walked lane it had. The game stands them on the path.
