An unrealized boss that can be added to the cave update :]

[Keknutui]

I think most players, after an excellent update of the ocean in my opinion, are waiting for changes for another equally important place in the game - these are caves. As you know, we have been waiting for their modification and updating of shadow rifts for more than a year.Depending on the lunar rifts bosses, we can add the interaction of shadows with bosses, but there is one problem, there is only a toadstool in the caves of non-shadow bosses. Of course, they can simply strengthen existing shadow bosses, but this seems inappropriate and everything except the toadstool toad has been worked out and does not need strengthening. So, I found the files in which we planned the cave boss moth, which unfortunately was not added, and now I see an ideal opportunity to bring it into the game, since in addition to shadow rifts, archives, atrium and ruins, caves have few unique chips. Alternatively, it can be located at the end of a green or red mushroom biome that will be similar to a lunar grotto.

I want to add that this is the most beautiful boss design I've seen, and I really wish its green parts could glow in the dark like the dreadstone does.

I used a translator, so ask again what lost its meaning after the translation

This would awesome as a mount...

Imagine a mount that could fly across the ocean even if just a little bit. Then take it to the caves and flutter across the abyss. 

A late game mount that deals planar damage would be nice if we're not getting a planar damage saddle.

I always loved the "alternate" creatures from the DLCs who shared the same mechanics / animations of another creature, so beefalo alternates would be so cute! (though I still hope there will be something like a cave ewecus one day with mineral wool to bring the hunting mechanic into the underground) but giant tameable moth friend would be another one of the favourite creatures i would like to get in a cave update

That would be cool if not only these mobs but also the biome would be added to the caves. An extra biome could give them a bit more to work with when adding cave rift content.

Было бы здорово, если бы в пещеры были добавлены не только эти мобы, но и биом. Дополнительный биом мог бы дать им немного больше возможностей для работы при добавлении контента cave rift.

That's right, we haven't received a new biome since 2020. There are a year of bosses, but it would still be nice to get a couple more, and they already have the opportunity to bring such beauty back to the game

Caves could have fewer repeat biomes. More unique stuff would be nice.

This boss looks absolutely amazing!

Aha, I don't even know if it was intended to be a boss since its missing a lot of important animations. It's got nothing for attacking nor dying, though it is pretty big.

I'm mixed honestly. Of course I like seeing cut content return but I'm also in favor of the caves just getting new content and also expanding on its horrid repeat biomes and just general emptiness. 
I'd like these to return but I'd rather them fill out an existing biome than be dropped in a new biome that'd also be just as lived in as say, a Bunny village.

I think this would fit in the bat guano biome with those pillars  in the picture. Just needs some blending into it however.

What I hope is that something there gives us reason to visit the bat biome multiple times instead of just once. I'm always looking for dreadstone but there are other resources out there that I'm sure other people would like to be easier to get.

Я думаю, что это вписалось бы в биом из гуано летучих мышей с теми колоннами на картинке. Однако его нужно немного дополнить.

Я надеюсь, что что-то там даст нам повод посетить биом летучих мышей несколько раз, а не только один раз. Я всегда ищу dreadstone, но есть и другие ресурсы, которые, я уверен, другим людям было бы легче достать.

Now the topic of the moth has become even more relevant

[Keknutui]

An addition to the post. If you are interested, you can read it.
After talking with the players, I had a couple of ideas about the moth and its biome, which can be sewn into the game itself, namely...

I think he could interact with the moth in different ways:

1.When acid rain appeared, he dissolved the vines in the form of an obstacle, as in Hamlet, which will be an obstacle not only at the entrance to the biome but also in itself.

2. Strengthening the boss and adding new attacks during the rain will make it more difficult, but this will be rewarded with an exclusive loot (they offered a belly that can spray gas, perhaps it will stun for a while, but it will not be durable either). It will not be his whole drop, but only from the rain, because I think without him, something useful will fall from the moth too.

To be honest, it's hard to think through the concept of a boss who is unlikely to appear in the game, but his and his biome's strongest interaction with post-rifts could make caves even more interesting.
And yes, I would like its green parts to glow in the dark during and after acid rain, although it is possible without.

Although I understand that this is unlikely to make it into the game, but I thank @JoeW and the Team who created such wonderful work and are still working on the game. You are the best guys!
