New Dungeon: Fox Den

Postby Adder1234 » Tue Sep 11, 2018 4:08 pm

I was catching up on some of the dev streams I've missed and heard Jorb joking about how an ant dungeon might not be the best noob dungeon, because of their damage. So this got me thinking on what would be the next easiest animal to hunt, other than bats, which would be foxes.

The idea of a fox dungeon isn't very extraordinary, but I had an interesting idea as to how a player would find them. I'm thinking that when foxes hunt and kill smaller animals, they should sometimes pick them up and run off with them. A player can chase after them and the fox will eventually stop, then start digging into the ground, unearthing a fox den and allowing the player to go inside.

As for the dungeon itself, it would be a large, dirt tunnel complex with animal bones decorating the walls and floors. Some loot could be things like "fox fang", "fox claw", "gnawed bone" and other things like that. The boss could be a scarred, pale fox called "The Bandit King" or something similar.

A "critter dungeon" where you actually have rabbits and hedgehogs that fight back, of course. ;) Maybe even a "vorpal bunny" on the end... make sure to bring your holy hand grenade. :P

I definitely like the fox idea. I think it could just be the #2 step on the ladder.

edit: note, I'm not trying to derail the thread here. I thought it was worth mentioning that there is the basis for a a truly "new player/character" dungeon. If anyone would like to expound on that idea further, PM and I'll post something... or do it yourself. I'm not jealous of ideas here.

Good ideas, Adder, interesting way to find the den :) Both ant and fox would be good dungeons, and i think there rly should be smthng easier than what we have for now. Ima hermit, tried to fight in beaver den, but all I can is 2-4 rooms, further i get rekt, so at least fox or even ant dungeon seem very interesting.

Maybe just add a new critter exclusive to a new dungeon? Like some fallout mole/pig rat type thing.

actually thats pretty clever, the moles dig underground, maybe when they dig they leave a hole for you to go in. and you fight moles.

Also not attempting to derail the thread, but a bunny dungeon would be an easy area to stick that ever elusive Jackelope and rabid Jackelope everyone misses so much.
