Saw this this morning from a news article on google: The mimic octopus, that not only can change its colors to hide or protect itself, but actually changes its own shape and way to move to throw off potential predators. [medio]61[/medio] How awesome would mobs like this be to hunt? Or worse, imagine spotting an Exarosaur that when you start shooting it turns out to be a Trox Stalker hoping for some quick colonist meal? :D
Hi, Awesomeness! Want this! ;-))) Imagine a quite rare mob that hasn't an defined spawn. That would often loot something special, anything out of the ordinary - a special series of gear maybe? Like the Smuggler stuff on Arkadia? This mob would single-spawn randomly over the place, rarely, and would then mimic the mobs nearby, with maybe 1.5 - 2 x the thread of these. It would only reveal itself when hurt, so you'd never know how to find it. But every once in a while one of your target mobs would start to morph into an impressive monster, a good piece harder then the prey you attacked initially, and with a good chance to loot something worthwhile ... Like the "strange signals", just for hunting :) Have a good time!
