New Creature Idea

Post by DougRatmen »

With all these new little critters be added, I could not help but think one up. Or, well, it climbed up my leg as I was thinking about it... Darn thing almost bit me.

Spiders! Or, well, Cave Spiders! We have green oozes, we have boreworms, we have bats, but wheres the spideys? Our eight legged friends? They keep those pesky bugs from taking over the world, so they need a spot of honor!

And I'm not just talking tiny spiders... I'm talking true Giant Cave Spiders, DF style! The bigger, the better!

I would say they'd be around the size of a cow or so, and that's not including their sexy leg span! They would be a rather strong one to fight, but rather rare, though perhaps a tad more common then the boreworms but much less common than the oozes.

They could give their own meat, perhaps a dex/will, as with as many legs as that it would take some will to fight! :D As a curio, perhaps their fearsome fangs or wonderful legs? Instead of bones, because spiders don't have bones, they would give a chitin, that could also act as bone but have some items tied to them, such as perhaps a footwear of some sort, for the irony ;)

I would offer the idea of different types, but I understand the problem of making things like this, the anims might be a nightmare! (Figuratively AND literally! :o )

Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.

Neither do figuratively and literally.

Will probably do cave spiders at some point, yeah.
