Gib

A blue knight surrounded by gibs

A gib, short for giblet, is a classic videogame term for a chunk of gore from a character, NPC, or mob that has been comically blown into bits by an explosion or projectile.

In KAG, several gibs will fly off a character when he is hit or killed, especially by a bomb. The resulting giblets can collide with other objects in the game, but it does not affect gameplay apart from possibly obstructing the view. When a player is killed by a thrown bomb, the death message reads:

[Player name] was gibbed to pieces by [Player name].

The word "gib" is used as a verb here, meaning "to reduce one to giblets."

The "gibs" are also produced when zombies are killed, especially skeletons and wraiths. When certain objects or workshops are destroyed, the broken pieces they release are also considered gibs.
