Cave mob ideas

[Dextops]

Place for cave mob ideas, this can be an entirely new mob, or a post rift mutation. For me all I want is a dreadstone rock lobster mutation.

This is not entirely relying on the topic but I will add what the mobs can do and how to get the mutation versions (I will probably make a topic of my ideas later):

The SilkwormLotl " A mix between a Silkworms and an Axolotl : His fight is very similar to the Pugalisk. The reason he is a silkworm is to get kind of the same thing of the pugalisk, the freeze laser, now it's a silk attack (You can get the picture). He can also use wormholes around him to confuse the player, you need to hit him at a good timing for big damage. 

To get his mutation version : you need to make him fall into a rift (Rifts have a high chance to spawn around his...spawn) or you can make him follow you around the map to get him into a rift) and you get the ShadowMelavoid (melanoid is the word for a black axoltl, shadow..black you know ? Void and all...).

 

ShroomTurf : A boss similar to crabking but instead of gems, it's plants, once you insert like 4 grass plants, 2 lunar rock trees and plant 4 pinecone trees. It emerges and attacks you depending on what you  placed on him.

Mutation version DoomTurf : you must change the turf on him with ruins turf (to force some players to get those blueprints in the magic-thing or you can pitchfork them up I guess)

Post rift shadow pieces.

Post rift Terrorbeak and Crawling horror with new looks and attacks.

Post rift ruins enemies. Basicly Even more damaged  versions of Rook bishop and knight.

And more enemies with acid rain buff.

Lunar Mutated toadstool, where the mushrooms are the main thing moontated and gain complete control over their toad host.

A new shadow creature mob that isn’t a boss but can change to various different shapes and sizes, think of him sort of like Pokémon’s Ditto, he/she/it can look sort of like Shipwreckeds Tar Monster thing, and it can “slink” across the ground with yellow glowing eyes before changing to a new form.

Being a “Shadow” it’s going to obviously be Weaker and easier to kill then the REAL mob it’s mimicking, but you get the idea..

yes I am aware there’s a boss that already does something similar to this, but.. that’s a BOSS and not a common every day mob that shakes up Combat.

Imagine it for example: Mimicking a Beefalo or a Pigmen or Deerclops!

I just wanna see this thing slink acrossed the ground looking cute and innocent before transforming into something to challenge the player via Combat.

This would be a cool way to add mobs/mechanics from the Shipwrecked and Hamlet DLC as well, for example.. it can mimick the Splash AoE of a Hippopatmoose.

Or.. can be even more terrifying- such as this (click at your own risk.)

A giant floating jellyfish, that is translucent with dim fluorescent rainbow colors like a lava lamp. It can be a lunar mutation of a mush tree.

I think seeing more mutations across the caves can make them feel more lively.

I'd also like to a monstrosity of malformed giant tentacles writhing across the abyss every once in a while.

Shadow versions of DST characters that attack you with one of their special abilities/perks, basically just silhouettes of the characters. Each character would attack you out of the shadows once every now and again selected at random. Something to keep you on your toes. Not sure what biome though.

Shadow Wendy attacks you with Shadow Abigail.

Shadow Wolfgang attacks you with 2x damage.

Shadow Woodie attacks you as a moose.

Shadow Wormwood attacks you wearing bramble husk armor.

Shadow Wes attacks you and barely scratches you and dies in one hit.

etc.
