NPCs & Enemies Beetles

[BrusselSprouts693]

The lhizard temple is pretty barren after harvesting the traps. I propose some new things to keep it alive!

Beetle

Beetles are critters that spawn in the lhizard temple.
30% bait power

Spider Beetle

Spider beetles however, are big scary monsters that spawn there post golem.
AI: Modified spider
It moves extremely fast, about 3x a default player with no accesories. It does not care about where it climbs. It will climb using blocks as background. It will climb using walls as background. It will climb using your tombstone that says "Post-Moon Lord guy was brutally dissected by Spider Beetle. On expert it will even occasionally huck purple blobs at you and freeze you in place for 3 seconds. Fortunately, this will not spawn while Golem is alive.

Health: 8000
Damage: 70/100 contact, 60 paralyzed.
KB resist: 100%
Drops: 2-4 beetle husks

Were you planning on adding more to it?

Yes, I was gonna add a spider beetle miniboss that drops 1-3 beetle husks.


Edit: Ok I added it

I think you forgot the Spooder Bootle's HP. Anyway, I'd like to see the look on my own face when I get stuck for no reason on Expert. +1 soopoort

Bit early to be using an eruption, no? Also you can't use one of those when locked in place by fear of an ungodly arachnid crosbreed

Well, you could just use Mud and Death Sickles for low budget Spider Beetle killing. So, no conditions for spawning?

The spider beetle can go through walls and spawns post golem in the temple, as stated in the op.

I'd like to propose that these beetles can be used as a way to procure Lihzard Power Cells more easily. I suggest two ways:

A crafting recipe that involves catching a Beetle and perhaps using it with Glass/Solar Fragments to make a power cell. This way it gives a purpose to the Beetles that isn't just bait.

OR​

Have it as a high drop rate item from the Spider Beetle.

Great suggestion either way!
