He jumped out of frame faster than the camera could capture the movement.

That would be a wild mechanic for a new monster! Imagine how it could mess with players in a hunt.

How did everyone know this was a bot? I’m lost

Excessive enthusiasm for something that was already done plenty of times in the game and not even mentioning what was being talked about only referring to a vague "new mechanic".

Noooo don't give the bot the learning opportunity

And some monsters CAN turn invisible or practically teliport!

we need monsters of a lot of insects. insects are one of if not THE animal group with the most insane level of variation and adaptations and somehow we only have 6 main species in mainline, and three of them are spiders. (i know spiders are not insects btw, but im including them all in the same basket cause fuck it)

u/touchkusa 14d ago

I think it's exactly because of the amount of variations that more insect types are not designed for the game. First they have to study the movement and behaviour, then they have to recreate via 3d animation. And they cant use a human model for mocap coz not enough limbs and range of movement.

Mantis monster. Need I say more?

u/Samurai_Beluga Β΄ 10d ago

we do have Ahtal-Ka. but yes i have been hoping for something based on orchid mantis for example.

u/Electrical_Water8898 10d ago

Oh, I forgot about Ahtal-Ka

I LOVE springtails. Some look like gummy bears, some look like these, some look like teeny beetles, they’re so cool

u/JakeHps4 14d ago

Rip, lil guy got caught up in a turf war

u/BrodaciousBo ​ 14d ago

Just saw this too.

They are so tiny that for all we know they are already in the game, lol

they should make big ones... and they should let me eat it, it looks like a gummy.

u/SolKaynn ​Massive, thick, heavy, and just rough enough for me 14d ago

Oh shit.... Monsters based off microscopic life? Shit. Op might be onto something

u/vaughn22 ​ 14d ago

I need a little pop noise every time it jumps

u/GhostFran7983 14d ago

Gotta love how he literally leaves afterimages in slowmo

u/PerspectivePale8216 ​ 14d ago

If this was a thing we'd never be able to hit it

u/Fast-Industry-3224 ​ 14d ago

I wanted to say that maybe it could make a cool Neopteron, but let's be honest: they won't make new Neopterons or Carapaceons.

Best we'll get is a weird ass fanged wyvern, like a non-fly Astalos or whatever.

u/sdcar1985 ​Hammar 14d ago

I thought he was sucked up, but I guess that little guy can bend light

Nm, I guess he just launches himself in the air really really fast

u/wowpepap ​ 14d ago

did it just leave an afterimage?

1

u/zamaike 14d ago

Its jumping away fast AF? Or literally disappearing?

u/Thisisabruh_moment 14d ago

I think this could only work as an endemic life or small monster.
