Mob Swarm monsters

You go happy walking by a world that you find, and see a creature that is like no attacking you, she stay stopped ( or can be agressive ) so you resolve to attack and SHE ASPLODES AND LITTLE THINGS GET OUT AND GO ATTACK YOU. Cool uh?

 

So a passive creature that, upon being hit, explodes and spawns as bunch of tiny aggressive things that devour your soul?

Sounds lovely! Got a name for them? What would they look like? Where would they be found? >

 

On planets that have more lava and gonna have like balls on the back containing monsters, i think call it sufling or something like

 

What would the tiny ones look like? O:

 

some like leeches. If i was on computer i would make the representation with painting tools

 

They sound really interesting, and unique. I'd definitely like to see a drawing/sprite/whatever.

 

i go try to do more later

 

Variation 1: A more aggressive variation that charges at you and support units, explodes and releases small magma balls that set you on fire.Vulnerable to solid ammo weapons like Railguns, immune to flamethrowers and lava, lives on volcanic planets.
Variation 2: A pitch black ball of goo found in caves.Sticks on the ceiling doing nothing.However, if you come by and don't notice it(and use the flamethrower to defuse it) it falls down and releases a burst of acid.
Variation 3: Remember Virorbs from the mob contest?Those Metroid-lookalikes?Well, i have a suggestion for one of their types, that behaves EXACTLY LIKE THE MONSTER YOU SUGGESTED.You pop it, and it releases smaller Virorbs that stick to you and cause trouble.

 

I am so offended right now...

 

THE BEES! NOT THE BEEES! (Swarm)

 

Perhaps a big spider that carries one of those eggs on its back. And when you burst it 1000s of baby spiders gets loose. The thought of that is horrifying but also really cool!

 

Cool idea , and Flying monsters with something like that, would be hard

 

So like "The Pregnant" in dead space?

 

Yea Yea and the human with balls on back thingy on dark souls

 

<- this dark souls thing, is a swarm monster

 

Sounds cool imo.
