Fun and Unusual Quirks for Monsters

Post by Flashlight237 » Wed Oct 14, 2020 4:00 am

The scorpee is a monster that has a unusual quirk: it allows players to ride them. Not only was this a fun concept, but it also allows room for more creativity with the monsters of Eliatopia. Aside from the scorpee, the squisher and fanged squisher turn into confetti when killed, which is designed to give newbies a pat on the back when they killed a monster. That and the Ooze is the only monster in the game that is unable to attack players.

As such, I'll suggest more quirks that'll make the game more fun. Here's what I got.

---

Swamp Crab: This monster can be made into an early-game mount to allow newbies to familiarize themselves with the concept of riding monsters. Why not? They're about as wide as a player character.
Armed Dillo: This guy is tricky. This is the only monster that used hand-drawn frames for its attack animation. However, in the story and the Eliapedia entry, it is implied that armed dillos can climb up walls. This would be a cool quirk, but it would require a mechanic that tells the armed dillo what walls it can climb and what walls it can't climb in order to stop them from going out of bounds.
Logons and Stalagmites: This will be a fun quirk. For these guys, there would be a 1 in 128 chance that Moonchyllus will speak to the player through the Logon or Stalagmite the player had killed. No dialogue box nonsense; just pure voice-acted material. Speaking of voice-acting, I already provided a voice actress for Moonchyllus beforehand, but in case I need to repeat myself, these are the details I've provided to Robby:

Actress: Amanda Parker (https://amandaparkervoices.com/ )
Voice I'm Looking For: Impression of Dawn from Total Drama
Editing (can be done by myself): God-voice effect (instructions found here: https://eliatopia.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... t=10#p6099 )
Example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... xample.mp3 (First voice is that of Dawn from Total Drama; the second voice is Moonchyllus)

As for what she'll say, probably something random. Maybe something about the environment around you or something, idk. I wouldn't care what as long as there's a set of lines to choose from.

yea, the element with the scorpee and squishers make it more enjoyable so I support this.

Oh yeah, to allow the Logon and Stalagmite quirk to happen, I made an item for both monsters to drop: Moonchyllus' Audio Cassettes.

I like to think the goddess prefers using audio cassettes over stuff like CDs and iPhones. I made twelve cassettes because I felt I needed to take every precaution necessary. So yeah, there's that.
