to add onto this
Lizard thing- (no I don’t have a good name yet)
- A creature evolved over hundreds of years specifically to be an apex predator against humans and Atlanteans, spawns in the far reaches. It looks like a big lizard, almost the size of a sailboat in length, with long limbs, and no visible eyes (scp 939 looking shit).
- It hunts players, stalking them from a distance till it decides to strike. They are more likely to spawn if there is a large party of players. They will stalk the players, picking them off when they are alone or till they outnumber the players.
- While stalking players it changes colors to match its background and any material it touches. It stays just outside the players line of sight, peering over edges. It runs away silently if a player approaches its hiding place.
- It is capable of following players between islands, swimming extremely quickly, able to match the speed of players boats. While doing this it can call for others of its species to assist it in hunting you.
- It can run extremely quickly, able to sprint down players and also pounce at them. It can also climb up any surface, being even able to hang onto ceilings.
- Their attacks include whipping you with their tails which has massive knockback and a stun when you hit a surface, stomping/smacking the player, which ragdolls. Slashing which gives mild knockback but also bleed. It is also capable of grabbing players in its jaws when they are 25% health or lower, releasing them if they are hit.
- When they finally build a big enough pack, they will ambush the players. While all attack, lowering all the players health till one can be grabbed. At that point the others will continue knocking the other players back while one runs off with the grabbed player. Once the player is to far to be saved the others will run off as well, killing the taken player. If enough of the creatures are killed they will attempt to retreat.
- When they retreat / succeed in taking a player they will heal and wait a few minutes before performing another ambush.
- If players are dispersed or sufficiently outnumbered, they will begin hunting (This might happen rightaway in some cases if there are few enough players
). They make loud (velociraptor esc) yelps, to communicate to each other while hunting around the island looking for you. If one of them sees you, they will all be told of your location. They are also able to use this to tell where you are not, so they can find where you are from that information.
- They are able to use sounds from things such as abilities and players taking fall damage to find you, other sounds like dashing/high jumping wouldn’t alert them immediately.
- Other creatures like atlanteans / mutated animals can be seen being mauled to death and having their corpses torn to shreds.
Type shit
(just for scale context the lizard i described looks a bit different but its about the same size as the one in this image (AO character model for scale))
