Pengull "Rework"/and some season related ideas

[I G O R]

Penguins aren't my favorite animal (turtles are), but they're cool... and i think it's time the DST equivalent get a rework.

Maybe i spend more time than i shoul have thinking about a random mob that most people just ignore, and yes i did, but i think i have a point.

In my opinion Pengulls really need a rework, or some kind of reimagination. And the main reason for that is...they do not have anything unique.    Right now, the way they are, they're just reminiscence of solo Don't Starve. And the only useful thing about them, is the ice they spawn, beside that, all their drops are available in any season, almost anytime.

Think about the Spiders.

And a buch of others mobs drops that are essencial to the game; most of obtained just by them, just like the Pengulls, right?

Nope.

And even if for some obscure reason someone desperately needed a item from a Pengull, there's way better options to get them. Ways like:

• Build a Birdcage and give a life sentence to a poor little bird, and you can have as many Egg as you want, for THE WHOLE DAY.
• Get Bird trap, or any other ranged weapon, and, Feather is easily obtained.
• And I ain't exactly a pro, but i think there's a lot of easiest ways to get Meat, without having to fight a gang.

So, how make them unique?

In my opinion

• Give them a good drop. 

(IDK something helpful, and winter related, maybe a weapon?)

• Make a new "biome".

 (i think a iceberg/island would be perfect. i really like the ocean updates, and this would be another incentive to sail. A place to explain where the pengull's came from, or to where they go after the winter. Maybe a MacTusk relative/sea lions could spawn there?)

• Maybe a King?

(A "side quest" type of thing, like the DoyDoy from Shipwrecked. A somekind of delivery; i don't know if that would make sense in the LORE)

Spoiler

i thinking something like those penguins from the mario movie

 

 

• Another species.

(Pengull's were always neutral, so make a very territorial kind; a RNG thing, if this kind spawn close your base, you'll have to fight them)

I think anything different would make winter a little more diverse, not just: Get Walking Cane and Kill Deerclops.

Some seasons new mechanics ideas

• Slower Hunger Drain in Winter

(Not a huge porcentage just a little bit, i think would makea lot sense)

• Faster Hunger Drain in Summer

(Why not make summer a litte more annoying?)

• Spring Mini Boss

(A mini boss like Eye of Terror, that spawn only in the ocean while it's raining)

• Low Temperature=Slow Actions and Speed

(Imagine every character as wimpy Wolfgang, if you're freezing. maybe this already happen idk)

• Faster Boat In Spring

(Spring is kinda windy isn't?)

• An "Ice Floor" That Connects Close Areas of the Map In Winter

(something like a brigde to those areas where boats don't fit)

That's It, Thanks for Reading.
