Seriously, there are only 2 types of beast monsters.(3 if you count snarby) I think they should add a monster that looks like an eagle or hawk. It can be like this:
-Teir one: An attack starts like a reaver except it's talons are out the whole time, so it's more of a charge
-Teir two: The attacks are half piercing and it goes faster and has longer reach.It also gains a range attack by shooting sharp feathers
-Teir three: Attacks are all peircing and they can flap their wings to knock you back.Their regular attack also homes better on you. When on low health they fly up and dive bomb you like falcons. The dive can cause a small explosion that causes normal damage.

So what do you guys think? Of course they'll have variations that cause status problems. They can also have a set like wolvers and chromalisks. A bit overpowered or ok? Please post your thoughts.

The T3 seems too complex. I like the simple chromalisk moveset. They lick you, or they spit fire you. Though i do like the though of an enemy with a pure knockback attack.

I agree...

agree with DrLequack, tier 3 certainly sounds too complicated and to be honest i cant think of any monster that gains new attacks from T2 to T3, just improvements to existing attacks.
remove the tier 3 extra attacks - amp up the charge and feather blast for tier 3 and you might have a winning formula
it would be nice to see a flying beast - all the flying enemies currently are fiend

We got snarby already.what you want now?an evil barney that can shoot acid?

I was thinking the same thing

So how about this?
-teir 3 All piercing damage. Charges at you 3 times before pausing (Like an Alpha wolver) It can also knock-back players and others monsters(except for other members of the species of course) by flapping its wings. The knock-back should deal no damage but you'll be knocked back a fair distance. The feather blast's range increases and the monster shoot several waves of feathers not just one.(like about 2-3 waves)

Is it good now? If not post your suggestions.P.S. These are not owlites, because they're eagle-like, but I can understand why you would call them owlites. :) And LOL at the snarby joke. I'm suggesting this because I want a new beast that isn't a boss.

I kinda like the idea of a flying beast.

I think this game does not

I think this game does not have a good sense of humor.A lot of MMO will add something as a joke.You guys probally say it's just a five month old game or something.

So...

Can we get back on subject ? Not that there's anything wrong with evil barneys, but can you tell me what you guys think about my idea ?

Good idea, poor justification

While your idea is somewhat good, I think your justification is very poor.
Would you also like another slime? Currently there is only Jelly and Lichen (and the Jelly King that is basically a jelly).
What about another gremlin family? Currently there is just the gremlins.
What about the undead? currently you have kat and zombie, with the phantom appearing on graveyards, and slag guards essentially being part of lord Vanduke.
What about the fiends? You have the devilites and greavers. The wing is only a healer and is similar to a greaver. The phantom is essentially a mini boss.

Currently the only type of monster that has more than 2 types of creatures (that are common and are simple monsters, not special ones), are the constructs. This makes some sense, as the world you are living/playing in is a massive construct. It isn't a normal planet, it is a massive bunch of machinery.
So rather than saying the beast family only has 2 things, I want more, say something like I think this would be a cool idea for a beast.

Yeah...

Your right about my justification Jeffrey. It's just that I feel like the beast family is a bit small for a planet as big as cradle.

@Kjtk So what do you not like about my idea?

Lichens are very fun to Lille

Lichens are very fun to Lille en they become a huge lichen.I love killing huge lichens because they always drop a good amount of stuff.

Devious_bat, if the game was

Devious_bat, if the game was set on a generic planet, like Earth or Mars, that occurred naturally, and has natural life on it, then yes, it should have a lot more beasts. However Cradle, as far as I can tell, is artificial. It was artificially constructed with a massive power source at its core, and then layer upon layer of machinery built on top of it, until you get the final layer, which looks like a planet's surface.
As I had said, the only family that has a decent amount of different species, is the constructs, which makes sense for a location that is a construct. Anything that isn't a construct would have had to come in a similar way to the knights.

Great

I think that would be great. It could be called an owlite and have a great chance of dropping owlite feathers. Also it could be a second tier 1 boss as there are 2 tier 2 bosses.

Hm..

Now that we have new monsters that are slimes and undeads, we'll really need a new beast monster.

If tier 4 ever comes out, we

If tier 4 ever comes out, we can have Vog.

Vog CUB, the skin of a cub of the thing, is enough to block off tier 5 stuff.

The Fang of VOG. I mean think about it, even if that thing isn't forged by Vog's fang that thing is so renown that the weapon you get from Vanaduke is only known as the thing's damn tooth. It's TOOTH.

Imagine how powerful the actual beast itself would be.

..God it would be like Crawmerax.

Anyway, I had an idea for a beast monster for my Tier 2, look it up in my boss suggestion thread.

If ya want a new beast it

If ya want a new beast it should be something slow and heavy like lumbers.
The reason: the only big thing wich spawn on every arena are Lumbers and a trojan/l colony 'mini-boss'. Some more variety there would be nice.
