So there's a new preview pic that's been making rounds on social media sites, and some are speculating it might either be a new Battle Sprite, or (as I hope) instead a new Beast Family monster.

Assuming it's the latter, I think this would be a GREAT opportunity for an event centered around their introduction, especially if they have an ability regarding multiplying if left unchecked.

I would love to see an event around this concept, like "They've been multiplying unchecked for so long that they've now spilled over into the Terminal. Naturally, piles got stuck on the elevators, so it was only a matter of time before they hit the Clockworks too!". You'd enter Haven and you see them harassing the groups of snipes/dogpiling them. There's an entire line of them around the upper ledge perimeters in haven, like an army at dawn. Some of you might get the idea that it's almost like a certain infamous Star Trek episode, and you'd be precisely right! Where there's a sudden MASSIVE amount of an unfamiliar enemy, there's gotta be a lot of willing Knights to help quell this unexpected (and adorable) invasion!

This could lead to an "invasion bar" that fills up as people defeat them, with special rewards for participants at certain milestones that can either be global (10 million/billion total killed across all servers) or personal (character-specific items for killing 1,000 on your own, etc).

What do you think? Would love to get some feedback and even additional ideas or add-on suggestions.

It wouldn't be an event-only

It wouldn't be an event-only monster, but just a means of introducing them. After the event is over it can easily be explained that "There's bound to be stragglers left over, simply because of how many there were to begin with", and they can remain as a normal mob.

This would just do very well to draw attention to them and give them significance while highlighting what MANY already believe is their main gimmick to present it as an actual threat.

Battle sprites "egg/baby" form?

We can speculate about their use. But if they released the screenshot, OOO must have already planned their future so full blown complex suggestions are a waste of time :P
