Another monster suggestion(among other things) - beast family mini-boss style

SO heres yet another monster idea, again for the beast family (strewth you'd think people enjoyed doing beast levels :P)

Its an idea for another 'mini-boss' esque monster, much like the trojans

first and foremost its a giant tortoise, now lets get down to some details;
it is very slow, has a large amount of hp and, due to its shell, is entirely invulnerable except for its head

i envision it to have 2 attacks, 1 a straight up chomp, it swings its head both left and right biting twice damaging the full 180d area around its only vulnerable point with a moderate recovery time after the attack
second it retracts fully into its shell for a second (becoming completely invulnerable) and spins on the spot, like lichens, which does low to moderate damage and high knock-back (like the trojans powerup attack), possibly increasing defense for a short period afterwards. once it stops spinning it slowly comes out of its shell (high recovery time from the attack to give knights a chance to attack)

it has three forms, one for each tier
T1: it is a moderate shade of green with a smooth green/brown shell - tortoise (cause i cant think of anything else)
T2: the shell is ridged on each scale and it has become a darker green with the shell almost entirely brown - ancient tortoise
T3: The shell is grey as stone and there is a ring of spines along the outer rim of the shell, the beast itself is a dark green almost black or alternatively is a grey green - stone tortoise (yes like the shield)

drops materials inline with the chroma series, green shards, beast scales, drake scales, chroma tears etc..

it could potentially take the place of the jelly in beast themed arenas and in gremlin as well - there always a ton of beasts in gremlin arenas and both the giant lichen and trojan do not suit the theme at all
another beast set of levels other than wolver den, Reptile colony (again not so good with the naming of things) with chromas instead of wolvers as the main monster and tortoise's replacing the alpha wolvers

more monsters, more replay value, more fun, more players

as always suggestions and constructive criticisms are welcome if not always appreciated ;)

Brilliant idea.

I love mini bosses so this would be fun. OOO should buff chromalisks so at t1 1 blob. t2 2 blobs. T3 3 blobs. And in t3 make the chromalisk camo invisible, no outlines. Also give them a faster moving speed. As for the tortoise the bite should cause stun.

I'd also like to see more

I'd also like to see more mini-bosses.

Apparently, there was a tortoise boss in the game at some point. The trojans also looked different by the way.

Old promo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUMxpYLJQiM

Interesting to see elements that were scratched. That promo doesn't look bad at all.

old promo wow

Aight so i didnt realise there used to be a tortoise mini-boss, hey its construct but lets have it back all the same

Also wow at the old promo - there are so many features/apsects that really need to be brought back in, tiny radius instacharge bombs, golden trojans, spookat armour, those really funky looking fire wolvers(hell hounds) and some of those levels look like so much fun

OOO Y U NO KEEP AMAZING STUFF?!?

nah

They should make a yeti-like beast instead, like a bigfoot or something.
