Gremlins: they should take cover behind blocks and obstacles when under fire from Knights. When idle, they could maybe chat with the nearest gremlin or fiddle with their weapons.

Wolvers: put tracking on the first bite. When idle, they could randomly bark to each other, growl at the nearest chromalisk, or perhaps playfully attack each other.

Chromalisks: when idle, if there are any slimes nearby, they will walk over to one and try to lick it.

Devilites: when idle, they could walk up to the nearest block and check it with a notepad in hand.
Blarful: when idle, dumps out a trash can. If there's a trash can block nearby, they will walk up to it and check it.
Devil-IT: when idle, will pull out a laptop and type on it.
Firebrander: when idle, will light a small campfire.
Layoafer: when idle, will build a small snowman.

Slimes: when idle, may randomly morph into other shapes.

You forgot Mr Flibbles!

Gremlins: They're good. Taking cover behind blocks from gunfire will sure make them very hard for gunslingers. But I'd prefer this to only happen in advanced and elite. Oh...It would be fun to see what they're chatting about...

Boy, I hate the night shift.

Me too! Nothing happens. The guys with the day shift always have awesome stories about them kicking knight faces.

Did you see that new movie?

You mean the movie that is about that gremlin that tid that at that time?

No, I mean the other one. You know, the one obout the gremlin who did that and that.

Oh! You mean that movie! I saw it, it's crap. Like that movie but worse.

Do you have a cousin named Emanuel?

No, but I once had a barberer called Steve.

And did your doctor have a son with rabies?

Is this some sort of code?

Nevermind.

Wolvers: Tracking? Like they follow you when they're preparing their attack? In that case, see above.

Chromalisks: ...

Devilites (my favorites!!!): Actually, I think they should do things that's not work, like play, chat, muck with others (especially the Blarfuls), light office materiel on fire (Firebranders) and sleep. Said that there's no pit bosses nearby...

Slimes: That would seem cool, but to what? And it would probably be a pain to code.

I think we'll be too busy getting our face smushed in, or avoiding said face-smushing, to notice the cute widdy Wevilities doing their cutesy animations. Well, unless we're laying on the floor dead. Still, it'll add flavour to the game, depends on whether it'll take it away from another part to do so.

Mr Flibbles is confused. So am I.

Why do you bump a 23 minutes old post?

@ankung

this idea is so bumpworthy, it needs to be bumped every 20 mins at least.

This is great. +1

Some suggestions:

-If Devilites and Gorgos are in close proximity, have the Devilites generally maintain a wide berth from the feared Gorgo.

-When Gremlins are alone and idle, they could pull out a book/manual and read aloud from it, flip a page or two, and then burn it, commenting on it's terrible quality.

-When Gremlins are doing their job:

Mender: Stupid. Couldn't you go for two seconds without perforating your aorta? Now I'll have to expend another charge from this staff. This stuff isn't cheap you know. Grumble.

Mortafire: You're about to get a FIERY surprise!

Ghostmane Stalkers: Hmph. Clumsy and loud. This should be no problem.

Knockers: How do I do this again? Was it [Color 1] with [Color 2], or the other way around? Or do I just hit an enemy with both of them? Mommy!

Thwackers: I'm getting too old for this. OR Hehehe. Dodge this! (Only for an axe throw or 360 spin)

Demo: Six hundred forty-eight explosives on the wall, take one down and light the fuse. Wall? What wall?

Scorcher: Maybe I should apply for a job at the Firestorm Citadel. I'll go check the application list after this fight.

-In a Devilite mission, there should be nearby speakers playing music. The Devilities can throw these for slightly extra damage, also silencing the sound.

-A Devilite could play games on his computer until his allies are dead, then panic and run away.

-Chromalisks could play a game of stealing each other's items.

Gremlin conversation:
Did you hear about what happened to See-
Shut it! You know we can't talk about him around here.
Sorry! I mean did you hear what happened to "Red"?

I heard that he stole the sky invader's technology and is resurrecting himself after every battle.

Hey guys, guess what? I'm getting promoted!

Congratz, man! What job are you going to?

I don't know, but it sure sounds fancy. It's called initial incursion shock troops. I was sent their by the Whispering Venom himself. He said I was too skilled for my own good. No idea what that means.

...

(Initial incursion shock troops = first people to lead an assault or charge; pretty much a meat shield)

Hey, did you hear that Razwog's dead?

Razwog the "One armed son of a Poylp?" Yeah, I heard about him. He's dead?

They say that some sky invaders took him out.

Considering him, I think they did Cradle a justice.

You mean Devilites will do

You mean Devilites will do their "I jump backwards away from the pit boss" thing with Gorgos?

Also. Devilite conversation.

Pit Boss: You know, you really shouldn't play...Spiral knights...on work...
Devil-IT: Wait a sec, I'm just going to kill this boss...
Pit Boss: NOW!
Devil-IT: *Picks up an axe*
Pit Boss: No! No! No! No! No! NO!

*SPLATT*

Devil-IT(in microphone): Ok, I'm back...

I've even made a comic strip about that one...

Could you borrow me a pencil?
Then catch it first!
*THROWS THE PENCIL*
Hey! Not fair!
*THROWS SOMETHING ELSE AT THE DEVILITE*

Layoafer Winter is better than summer!
Firebrander No! Summer is better than winter!

Gorgo: Food...food! Hungry...so...hungry! Hello munchy devilite! Could you come over here? I need a...err...pen!
*DEVILITE THROWS A PEN AT IT*
Gorgo: Got to think about a better plan...pens taste like ink.

I would love to see random flavor conversations for different monsters. Here's my additions:

- Mecha Knights would start spouting binary when idle and in groups.
- Gremlin Demos would juggle bombs.
- Wolvers/chromas would curl up into a ball and sleep.
