Sprites The Desert's own species of grub

[652Graystripe]

​

Just trying to add a little biodiversity to the desert. I seem to be drawn to the place, judging by how many suggestions I've made about it, so what's one more gonna hurt?


Antlion Grub (critter)
Spawns from broken boulders and antlion mounds in the Desert
-5 HP
-25% bait power
-Can be caught with a Bug Net and placed in a Terrarium

(thank @heisergroup for the sprite)
Antlion Mound
Can be smashed with any pickaxe
-Always spawns 1-3 Antlion Grubs when broken
-25% chance to spawn an Antlion Swarmer (Expert: 33%)

Sounds like a good idea to me. I think the rest of the desert background props should also have a smaller chance of dropping antlion grubs as well, seeing as how many of them are designed to look like a hive.

Made a better tower thing, Idk why.

Isn't that a darker version of a pre-existing ingame block?

Nope, I used a pre-existing palate as a template, but formed it to look like a termite mound sort of thing, since they look really interesting and match the boime theme.

Grey you mind if GabeHasWon uses your suggestion in his mod?

Not at all. So long as I'm credited for the grub sprite (if the existing one is used) and the idea, I don't mind.

Well, it seems that with 1.4, the desert has antlion larvae. If that came out of my idea, I'm immensely pleased; even if it didn't, I was clearly on to something.
