Yes. Hello. You've opened this thread, wondering what my idea is. And here it is.
We have four bosses representing each certain types. We have the Snarbolax representing wolvers, we have The Sovereign Slime representing jellies, we have The Roarmulous twins representing gun puppies, and we have Vanduke which I'm not sure what he represents.
Apart from the three valid family bosses, we should have a boss for EVERY monster type, and spring them up as an extra mission set not occuring after vanguard, but during the story, replacing certain rank missions. Here are my ideas for each of these:
Chromalisk: Three headed chromalisk that stalks a party through an entire, long level shaped like a ring. There are five bells in this ring and the only way to damage the chroma lisk is to lure them to the bells. The bells have a one minute cooldown so movement is necessary.
Dust Bunny: Giant ball of fluff that attacks by secreting smaller dust bunnies, in vicous hordes and giant numbers of up to 75.
Battlepod: Battlepod is more vertical and is sorrounded by spikes. Moves along a path in a grid making it adaptable and extra tricky.
Collector: Collector reconstructed with the shiloutte of vanaduke, grabs battle sprites and uses battle sprite attacks against you if you're not careful.
Lumber: Put a giant lumber on three wheels, with two arms that constitute two wheels and one wheel leg. Skids around and slides to and fro the map and runs people ove with stability.
Mecha Knight: Doppelganger knight, can assume the identity of a random knight and make you turn into a mecha knight yourself. It will stalk and attack you, and hunts you down. After 30 seconds the identities are switched back.
SCUTTLEBOSS can split apart into two different shufflebots and attack as two powerful bots, or combine into one slow but nigh invincible SCUTTLEBOSS.
decide if you want shuffleboss
Devilite boss. I'm not offering an idea here, there's a thread but I didn't check it out.
Gorgo: Okay, I got nothing here. Other than this: Giant, immobile gorgo that can spew up random enemies at will, and uses a tongue tentacle to try and consume knights, and then vomiting them out.
Greaver:
Silkwing: Now this is interesting. Giant silkwing with two metal diving suit men rendered invincible by the silkie's healing and are immune to poison. They operate like trojans and the goal is to lure silkie to traps, making it roost, and then getting the metal men to wound silkie by accident.
Gremlins in general: Metalfur, an insane gremlin architect that resides in a giant battlesuit and has trojan like attack patterns, and can twirl around it's torso to fight anyone attacking him. To tell the truth, we already have Seerus the DLBOSS
That's all my ideas so far, you can fill it in yourself.
Discuss.
Skimmed it, looks pretty cool
As long as it's
1) T3/provides comparable crown payout to vanaduke
2) provides sufficient radiants
3) Is a legit challenge and can't be ohko'ed by autogun/magnus/brandish
Then we have so.ething worth thinking about. My two favorite ideas you have are the mecha knight switching places (you'd want to equip proto for that fight), and the robocop/terminator lumber boss. That would be rather epic.
