Orange, Yellow, Green Hounds

[goodguythatguy]

It might be cool if after a certain amount of days (500?) elite hounds start coming out to play randomly (RNG?) with the regular Hound Waves.

'Orange' Magma Hound
-Leaves a temporary path of Magma where it runs
-Raises player temperature by (+10?) if bitten
-Can drop an Orange Gem,Charcoal,Nightmare Fuel,Monster Meat?

'Yellow' Light Hound
-Absorbs light, leaves a path of Darkness where it runs that blinds players if they run into it
-Blinds players temporarily if bitten
-Can drop a Yellow Gem,a Firefly, Monster Meat?

'Green' Nature Hound
-Leaves a temporary path of Roots that slow players down where it runs
-Roots players temporarily to the ground if bitten
-Can drop a Green Gem, Living Log, Monster Meat?

Orange Gem crafts Lazy Explorer, and Lazy Forager Amulet. The Hound should have soul-hopping/telepoofing   abilities. Maybe even some unique shadow abilities, as the ruins are some dark shadowy place. Shadow Tentacles seem to be a common theme. Much to be expanded on there.

Yellow Gem crafts Magiluminescence Amulet and Star Caller Staff. It would make sense for this Hound to cause burnings with its bites.. Upon death this Hound would send out a bright light flash blinding nearby players for a few seconds.

Green Gem crafts Deconstruction Staff, and Construction Amulet. This Hound has a nasty bite and inflicts bonus damage to armor and walls. They can also howl to heal, much like nurse spiders.

Your Monster concepts are really awesome, though I feel they don't embody the spirit of the gems. I would actually love to see new enemies with some of those concepts.

Whatever the Hounds are like is fine by me, as long as there's some rare chance to get Orange, Yellow and Green gems from Hound Waves when late in the game.
Maybe Day 1000 would be a fairer time to introduce the rare Hounds to the Hound Waves.

maybe we can have elemental varglings based on the orange, green, and yellow gem powers. since they are supposed to be stronger hounds
