New visuals for Hunt 'surprises'

[-Variant]

The brand new hunt surprises are easily one of my favorite parts of the beta.

All the new stuff is absolutely sick, but I love the change-up of the old hunt system just as awesome as well!

Encountering the surprise corpses in-game was sick, but I think the animation of the Varg/Ewecus appearing from the Corpse could be made a bit flashier, rather than the fade out. Could be something dramatic like the Whales from SW, could be something simple/clean, like how Horror Hounds burst out of their skin, I think either direction could honestly work.

It's such a sick feature, I'd love for more stuff in this general vein to be looked into!

Or maybe have the varg have a eating animation. Like is snacking down on the koalaphant.

And you just happen to disturb it's lunch break.

I never saw the dead Koalpehant. I only ever saw like 2 pieces of meat remaining.

I think you should encounter the varg feasting on it, that makes the most sense to me..

This really captures that we're living in a actual breathing world feel where more than just the survivors are struggling for survival I just love this update so much really.

It's pretty obscure! It's kind of hidden.

That'd be neat, I wouldn't mind that.

Could use the eating animation from the Ginerbread varg, maybe. Just clean it up for regular vargs.

Come to think of it they really should make dead bodies of mobs last longer before they fade just for thematic purposes heck could even let normal bodies be burnable too not just key ones.

It was like that ages ago, but they removed it.

Hard agree w everyone saying they should make it so that Vargs use the Gingerbread Varg's sitting-and-eating animation. Why not have it spawn in off-screen alongside the Koalaphant corpse? It'd be way more visually appealing than having the beastie just *pop* into existence.
