So I'm fully aware that something as complex as a boss has very little chance to make it into the full game, but I don't really care. Maybe I'll get lucky and certain aspects will be added, but I'm mainly doing this for fun, so without further ado, I present to you...
PYRANTULA!
Pyrantula: Scourge of the Underworld
(Difficulty: All Mechs defeated)
Life (Body): 20,000
Life (Leg): 3,000
Damage (Body): 40
Damage (Leg): 20
Defense(Body & Leg): 11
Each of Pyrantula's legs has it's own health bar. While it is possible to shoot the body right away, the legs may end up taking most of the hits.
Once a leg's heath reaches zero, the outer carapace will be destroyed, revealing a scrawny, almost useless leg, and Pyrantula will slow down a little.
Special Attacks:
Molten Armor
Several of Pyrantula's attacks and drops inflict the "Molten Armor" debuff. Not only does this debuff deals damage over time, but also reduces armor by a small amount. And it stacks.
1 Stack: 1 damage per second + 2 defense lost.
2 Stacks: 2 damage per second + 4 defense lost.
3 Stacks: 3 damage per second + 6 defense lost.
4 Stacks: 4 damage per second + 8 defense lost.
5 Stacks: 6 damage per second + 10 defense lost.
6 Stacks (max) : 8 damage per second + 12 defense lost.
The debuff goes away after 5-10 seconds.
Little ones
Pyrantula Summons a swarm of about 15 little baby magma spiders. These have the regular spider AI, but they are much faster, and will explode into flaming goo when they contact a player.
Little One:
Life: 75
Damage: 40 (+ 100% Molten Armor debuff)
Flaming String
Pyrantula shoots out a long orange string. This behaves similarly to the shadowbeam staff, only that the string persists for a short time afterwards, dealing 60 damage to anyone that touches it, and has a 50% chance of inflicting molten armor.
Fire Breath
A flame attack similar to the flamethrower. Deals 35 damage, and has a 50% chance of inflicting molten armor.
Spinning Wheel of Fun
Once Pyrantula has lost half of it's legs, it may enter a state where it will stop in place, and rotate at high speed, shooting off an assortment of flaming projectiles. If it has lost all of it's legs, it will enter this state permanently until defeated.
Magma Blood: Similar to ichor, only it burns instead of lowering defense. 30 Damage (+ 25% Molten Armor debuff).
Burninator: A slow moving orb made completely of fire. Not affected by gravity. 75 Damage (+ 100% Molten Armor! debuff).
Spark: A small, fast moving projectile that glows. 10 Damage.
Little one: On occasion, Pyrantula will release one of it's kin. 40 damage.
Spawn Clotwebs
These background walls spawn wherever Pyrantula walks. Though they themselves can't do anything, they provide material for Little ones to walk on. When the fight ends, they are instantly destroyed. Attempting to harvest them yields nothing.
How to summon:
Pyrantula lives deep below the earth, absorbing heat which it converts into energy. But that doesn't mean it can't enjoy a regular snack.
Bug BBQ
Crafted using:
- Grasshopper
- Scorpion
- Worm
- Bottled Honey
- Fireblossom
- Hallowed bars
If this is used while in the underworld (During Hardmode), Pyrantula will smell the spicy aroma, and crawl up for a juicy snack. And while it's there, it might as well snack on any foolish humans standing about.
Leaving the underworld during the fight will cause Pyrantula to simply return to the center of the earth, ending the fight.
Drops:
Note: When Pyrantula dies, the loot is dropped in a box of obsidian as so not to fall in lava, similar to the wall of flesh.
Coins
Pyrantula will drop about 15 coins on death.
Vigorsilk
100% drop rate (20-30)
This is the substance Pyrantula uses to make it's webs. It is incredibly strong, and can be used in a variety of crafting recipes.
