(As a quick note, I apologize for the non-transparent sprites. The program I use to make sprites transparent doesn't seem to want to make these transparent. Sorry about that.)

Hey guys, Dakota here. Quite a while back, I had the idea for the Mother Creeper. I wanted to bring it's attention back in a way, with a few revisions here and there! So, without further ado. Re-introducing the Mother Creeper!

The mother creeper is a very large, black, and powerful Wall Creeper. It's movements are greatly influenced by Plantera, but it can walk along the ground it it wants. It's attack patterns also draw inspiration from Plantera's, with some twists here and there. But that will be explained later! For starters, let's explain how to summon it.

Summoning
To summon the Mother Creeper, you first mush smash three "Spider Eggs" in Spider Nest mini-biomes. These grow randomly within Spider Nests, but only a maximum of 9 can be achieved in a single Spider Nest. A minimum of 2 can occur during spawning, and a maximum of 5. These white web covered blobs hang onto the back walls of Spider Nests, and have the same resistance as Shadow Orbs, which means any hammer can break them. Every time you break a Spider Egg, 1-3 "Baby Wall Creepers" come out of it, stats will be explained later. Before we get to the fight, there are two more things to say about the summoning process. One, when you smash each Spider Egg, they each get a special message, here are all three:

First Egg Smashed: "A faint crawling is heard..."
Second Egg Smashed: "The nest walls crawl with unease..."
Third Egg Smashed: "The Mother Creeper has Awoken!"

The second thing to be said about summoning, is the summoning item, the "Pulsating Web". Is is crafted at a Demon Altar with 50 Cobweb, 2 Obsidian, and 4 Snapped Creeper Limbs. Creeper Limbs being a new drop from Wall Creepers.

This is the Spider Pod. The middle one is what you see when there are no surrounding blocks. any of the ones on the sides are what you see when there is a block next to the Spider Pod, only they are connecting to the pod itself.

That is it for all the info on summoning, so without further ado, let's move onto the fight.

The Fight (Phase 1)
The Mother Creeper is, as said before, it's fight is inspired by Plantera's with some minor differences. Instead of vines, The Mother Creeper grapples around on webs, in a fashion similar to the Web Slinger you obtain from Spider Nest Chests themselves. With this said, there is not much to talk about, as the fight really explains itself, though there is one thing to note. Instead of the spiked orbs Plantera spits out, The Mother Creeper spits out "Creeper Pods", which bounce around in a similar fashion as the orbs Plantera shoots. After a couple bounces, the Creeper Pod that is shot will stick to the first surface it hits, and stay there for a couple of seconds before breaking into another one to three Baby Wall Creepers. These pods will also leave behind a Cob Web every so often for you to get stuck in if you are not careful. These pods can be killed before they break into Baby Wall Creepers however, so it will be a good idea to do that. Once half of The Mother Creeper's health has been depleted half way, it enters it's second form.

The Fight (Phase 2)

It's large back becomes smaller, releasing seven to fifteen Baby Wall Creepers, and it becomes faster, as well as it's grappling becoming more rapid. It also occasionally shoots balls of web in addition to the original pods that still bounce around, but burst into a three by three grid of Cobweb at random, these can not be destroyed before they burst. It also takes chances to ram directly into you while grappling around. Take note that (with the exception of ramming) anything The Mother Creeper can do while grappling around, it can do on the ground. And that about wraps up the fight, now the last thing to do is stats, and a couple things here and there.

As a side note, it is recommended you try to stay within range of the Spider Den when the fight is happening. You can move an alright ways away, but if you go too far away, the Mother Creeper becomes slightly stronger. But not as noticeable or notable as Plantera's enraged form by a long shot.
