Biomes & Nature [Sprites] The Consumption: an Evil Biome Alt

Terrarian
The Consumption
"bleeding the world dry..."

There was once a mad sorcerer who traveled from land to land, spreading curses and destroying towns and cities alike. One of his curses was The Consumption, which would cause those inflicted to go mad with hunger, and eat anything that they could get their hands on.

The sorcerer loved spreading the curse of consumption, as it caused people to become nothing more than animals. However, it soon became more, it became a land all its own, and the sorcerer could no longer control it, and it drove even him out.

Since, it has spread to many other lands, and threatens to reduce them to nothing but dust...

The Environment

The major feature of the landscape would be the trench:

The ground is covered in a thick layer of dust, and nothing but Dust wood trees and Dustbrush can grow off it.

Dustwood trees
These dead trees dot the consumption, and are often very short, rarely reaching anything above 8 blocks tall. Chopping them down will yield Dustwood logs.

The boss fight would start with the soulless walking towards you slowly, it's hunters would be very fast, and would be able to jump. the soulless would be able to roar and make any nearby players un-grapple from any blocks that they are grappled to. the hunters would be invincible at this time.
after doing 70% damage, the soulless would let out a screech and all the hunters would die, leaving behind some materials.
The second phase would have the soulless charging at you at high speed. the soulless would have high contact damage and be able to glide and sink though blocks to get to you if required. if unable to go through blocks it would open it's mouth wide and start sucking in causing particles to spawn in front of itself and travel towards his mouth, getting in the range of this would cause you to constantly lose HP, and it to gain HP.

It's ability during expert mode would be leaving a trail of damaging particles behind itself while in it's second stage.

after defeating it, it would drop normal boss drops, plus entropite and dried flesh.

The soul siphoner is a short sword type weapon that has a catch, as you chain successful hits, you'll gain buffs that if right clicked while you have them, let you do special attacks with the soul siphoner.
After three hits without missing, you'll get the soul thief I buff giving you +10% damage with the soul siphoner only. right clicking now will cause a yellow beam similar to the aqua scepter's, but longer.
The second buff takes nine more hits after having the the first, called soul thief II. it gives +10% DMG and increased melee speed with the soul siphoner. right clicking will cause a heat ray like beam beam to shoot out straight in front of your player.
The third buff, soul thief III, gotten after 18 more hits with the sword, gives +10% DMG, increased melee speed, and inflicting siphoned to any enemy hit. right clicking causes the player to point the item up and cause a shower of golden shower like projectiles that cause siphoned to shoot upwards.
any time you right click you will lose your current soul thief buff.
If you miss an attack or don't attack for three seconds with the soul siphoner, your hit count will reset.

And that's it for now. tell me if you like it or don't, and tell me what I can change to make it better.​

Interesting. The concept is cool, and stays wight the general 'wasteland' theme (wasteland/apocalypse=desert?), though I agree with HydraVenomX2, (I'm sorry) the sprites could be improved.

other than that, support.
 
Sounds nice! I do love alt biome suggestions, because it would add a huge amount of replayability if there was more alternate biomes.

I really like this suggestion! I like the idea of a barren wasteland-themed alternate Corruption. I have to wonder, though, what would this biome's opposite (alternate Hallow) be? The only thing I can think of would be some sort of Jungle overflowing with life and such, but we already have a Jungle.

In my opinion, if they were to add more alt biomes, it would be better to not have direct opposites, but I'm not sure if that's the way @ZerumeNote would want it.
