NPCs & Enemies Emperor of the seas, the Leviathan!

[Pinelord]

The leviathan is a post-duke fishron enemy that spawns in the ocean. That's right, not post plantera, golem, or mechs, post Duke Fishron. Duke fishron should not drop souls nor scales for making equipment, that doesn't make sense after looking at its current drop table. I'd rather see the death of a most likely apex predator bring new creatures from the abyss out of their hiding, ones that drop useful materials and items. That new creature is a leviathan.

Leviathan

Worm AI
Health: 7,500
He can leave the water, but slows down a lot and cannot swim through blocks like it can water. If it gets too far from the water it will crawl back to it.
Drops:
Pearls 100%

(1-5)

Spoiler: Leviathan Stats

Leviathan Head

Damage: 86
Defense: 40
Shoots bubbles if you are far away. Bubbles do 40 damage.

Leviathan Limbs and Body

Can now shoot lightning for 90 damage out if its fins occasionally.
Damage: 70
Defense: 50

Leviathan Tail

Damage: 60
Defense: 40

Because everything in this game makes hardly any sense, you can use the dropped pearls to make Leviathan armor.

Spoiler: Stats

: 20 Defense, +5% damage

: 15 Defense, glows.

: 25 Defense, +5% critical chance.

: 15 Defense, +10% movement speed, full mobility underwater.

Set Bonus:

: Spawns a whirlpool near enemies randomly, sucking them in for 4 seconds. Gives suffocation to enemies. Does not affect bosses.

: Strikes a random enemy on the screen with lightning randomly. Lightning does 100 damage and has quite a bit of knockback.

You can make weapons too.

Poseidon's Trident

Recipe:

(1) +

/

(15)
Melee Damage: 70
Use time: 24
Shoots a lightning bolt at the first enemy it hits for 80 damage when you use it. Has a cooldown of 1 second before it can shock something else.

Shock Prod

Recipe:

(1) +

(12)
Damage: 75
Velocity: 14
Shoots a lightning bolt every second that bounces off of in the direction of 5 enemies before stopping or hitting a wall. Let's say you hit an enemy once with this, the bolt bounces off and goes in the direction of the nearest enemy, but will not home in on it.
So what do you think?
UPDATE: Increased the damage on the weapons.
UPDATE: Made the Leviathan able to leave the water.
UPDATE: Changed Leviathan armor and made lightning strike enemies randomly instead of once every 45 seconds.
UPDATE: Made the leviathan much stronger and it can now shoot lightning from its fins, same lightning that the Leviathan Crown shoots.​

Okay, I increased the damage a bit.

I think "cannot leave the water" is a little harsh, he's going to have a bad time if I just build a platform over the ocean. Maybe allow him to jump out of the water, but can't go through solid blocks, and if he gets stuck he loses a large amt of movement speed and has to crawl back into the water?

 

[Otaku]

I support this idea!

Okay. Made it able to leave water.

Yes, this is very cool. But how would you summon it?

 

[Pinelord]

Um... it's not a boss.

 

[Rasta Ros]

Ah yes sorry, saw post duke fishron and all that stuff and automatically thought.
[DOUBLEPOST=1425857056][/DOUBLEPOST]But I'm guessing it would be a rare spawn and it would only be able to leave the water for air, well not for air, but if you were over water, it would jump out to try and hit you and them go back down?

 

[DerpoTheMagnificent]

Wow, those are some really cool sprites. The idea isn't half bad either! I really like this, all of it.

 

[Pinelord]

Yes, imagine an ice golem that lives in a pineapple under the sea. Just kidding, but it is rare as an ice golem. It only leaves water to get to you should you be on land. If you are in the air or far away from it it will shoot you down using its all mighty bubbles.

By "as rare as the ice golem" do you mean it is a rare spawn when its raining or its just a rare spawn in the ocean?

Rare spawn in the ocean. If it needed rain to spawn I'm fairly certain I would have said so.

 

[AntithesisEK]

I really like the artwork for this entire suggestion. I have a soft spot for unique creatures that bulk up a biome's 'ecosystem'.

It is a shame oceans aren't deeper though. This seems like a perfect Cavern depth -> Abyssal enemy suggestion.

 

[Seamerlin]

How about he spawns more frequently when raining,and if you enter the water,he sometimes has a chance to create a whirlpool to suck you in?
And maybe he can just leap out at you if you are to far away?(he would of course return to the ocean.)

For the armor,45 seconds seems to be too long...
And will the players(armor) made whirlpool do damage?

The leviathan is already able to leave the water and the whirlpool doesn't do damage. Though 45 seconds is a bit long huh. Should I make it strike an enemy randomly just like whirlpools?

When it leaves the water,I want it to spring out at you,so it travels farther.I would also like it if the whirlpool started doing suffocation damage after a few seconds or so.
And for your last sentence,sure!Would the lightning pierce enemies,though?

Sure, why not. To everything you just said.

I think you're talking about a different variation than I am.
