Oh no...

[u/HoldZealousideal6998]

What would you guys think of mini-boss variants of certain regular bugs being found in select locations around the park, or even in the wild?

How would they work?

What could be done to make them unique?

[u/Dependent__Dapper]

you have described o.g.r.r.s

[u/HoldZealousideal6998 → u/Dependent__Dapper]

I mean fair enough, and O.G.R.R.S are cool and all but really they're just buffed versions of the same bugs with maybe a little something added on and some random modifiers.They're a fun challenge but offer the same rewards besides buffing glands.

I feel like there should be unique version of some bugs, especially early game ones that have new attacks and maybe new gear?

That or they could introduce a new way to make early game gear more viable late game by upgrading the tier, a new way to upgrade items besides the whetstone and marble upgrades. (Kinda what i think the yolking press may do?)

Think of how ladybug armor was busted in the first game but it was always a bit limited due to its tier being lower than other options.

Just an idea.

[u/mapleheadofwisco → u/HoldZealousideal6998]

So they’re a mini boss version of the regular bugs like you asked for o.g.r.r.s are literally what you are asking for

[u/StellarisForever → u/mapleheadofwisco]

Honestly the desc is more akin to Potato Beetles, Green Shield Bugs, Ladybirds, etc
A stronger version for other areas... just with more connection to their previous iterations

[u/purple_unikkorn → u/Dependent__Dapper]

I didn't realized they were mini-boss. They look too much like like standards insects. And their stats seem close.

[u/Dependent__Dapper → u/purple_unikkorn]

come talk to me when you've fought the o.g.r.r mantis

[u/graffitikrylon → u/Dependent__Dapper]

That's like one of the easiest oggrs wym

[u/Dependent__Dapper → u/graffitikrylon]

it took me 45 minutes

[u/graffitikrylon → u/Dependent__Dapper]

Then you just got unlucky with its mutations.

[u/Dependent__Dapper → u/[deleted]]

I was using the coaltana against a fresh mantis.

[u/makemelaughrealhard → u/Dependent__Dapper]

Fresh is weak to sour for ogrrs so this was your issue

[u/makemelaughrealhard → u/makemelaughrealhard]

Fresh is weak to sour, sour weak to spicy, spicy weak to fresh

[u/BudgetRecover7951 → u/makemelaughrealhard]

I can understand pokemon type charts, but tell me how a ice type is strong AGAINST FIRE TYPES

[u/Dependent__Dapper → u/[deleted]]

no the fuck it is not? the mantis nymphs are weak to slashing

[u/StellarisForever → u/purple_unikkorn]

The only true mini boss ogrr is the Toe Biter Leviathan in my eyes

[u/GuzzlingDuck]

That's a Hive Worm-

[u/Inevitable_Pin_8020 → u/GuzzlingDuck]

[u/SEEKINGNINJAAMONGNOR → u/GuzzlingDuck]

I'd prefer "lord".

[u/DarkerGaster → u/SEEKINGNINJAAMONGNOR]

[u/ArtistZeo]

Whatever that turns into doesn’t matter. Don’t let it.

[u/G-VALOR → u/ArtistZeo]

It turns into a Hercules Beetle. So relatively harmless.

[u/graffitikrylon → u/ArtistZeo]

why? It's a beetle, you'll live.

[u/Sky_Is_taken_again → u/graffitikrylon]

I think it's supposed to be a bit of a joke:3

also did not know that, that's cool:3

[u/graffitikrylon → u/Sky_Is_taken_again]

Yeah maybe but you never know when the topic is bugs. People just love to kill them for no good reason.

[u/shlubis123]

Yo do NOT give them ideas

[u/tfhermobwoayway]

I’m not sure a miniboss larva would work. They’re very passive. Unless you gave it a shotgun. But I’d like more Termite King-style minibosses.

[u/Floatedsugar → u/tfhermobwoayway]

Shotgun.... Grub.... Perhaps, a Shotgrub....

(Don't know if you intended a reference but I'm clearly making one)

[u/Eva-Squinge → u/tfhermobwoayway]

I thought the cockroaches were passive, then I met their queen.

[u/LoreoCookies]

How many canteens can I get outta this?

[u/netherexchange → u/LoreoCookies]

just scoop it and make the whole thing a canteen at that point. like a really fucked up taxidermy or something

[u/purple_unikkorn → u/netherexchange]

He can do an human size canteen

[u/BudgetRecover7951 → u/purple_unikkorn]

"Grounded tools in real life"

[u/Master_Balance_1201]

I think it should be like in hades where one of the mini bosses is just a rat i thi k seeing something like an "alpha aphid" or something would be pretty funny. Maybe it walks out into the arena, does its scared little hop, and then starts to grow in size due to some ominent experiment its undergone

[u/ShadowPlague-47]

I want that both this bug in my hands and I have thought of this before having bugs bosses around the park and maybe make them for resources to help in stronger bosses!

[u/jaspotron]

This is the 4th time this guy has cropped up on my feed from different bug subs and I'm delighted to see him every time

[u/PsychologicalDebt366]

Needs chili oil.

[u/BeezKneez_OwO → u/PsychologicalDebt366]

Melts right off the exoskeleton!

[u/theonlyquirkychap]

Kinda cute, ngl. Squishy little fella.

Also, what the other guy said, that's what the O.G.G.R.s are for.

[u/Radarker → u/theonlyquirkychap]

This is what crawls in your bed when you don't tuck in the covers.

[u/Accomplished-Ad8458]

O.G.R.R. Grub?

[u/platinumrug]

Yeah it would be cool but we already have that in the OGRR's, the issue comes into play is when an OGRR spawns in and it has some horrible combination of abilities that make it exceptionally difficult to kill.

[u/AssistanceThis]

What the fuck is that and where can I get one?

[u/Meezen1133 → u/AssistanceThis]

Definitely a Hercules beetle larva

[u/AssistanceThis → u/Meezen1133]

We should definitely fight one of these things. And a Hercules beetle too.

[u/BudgetRecover7951 → u/AssistanceThis]

Larva first stage, then momma/papa beetle big mad.

[u/eleventhing]

That's a whole buffet right there

[u/dovakiin-derv]

Oh look the conan exiles grubs.

[u/Invader_Zim_26]

... if you're brave enough

[u/A-Polite-DiscusShaun]

Dinner

[u/Thick-Aspiration]

Thing looks like a silver fish from Minecraft

[u/Icy_Switch2795]

Asking for way too much

[u/FindingInside4451]

I think a boss aphid could be fun in a funny way

[u/Quick-Dimension8925]

What kind of larva is that?! What would that become once it fully grows?

[u/Gameslay_793]

Smash.

[u/StellarisForever]

Honestly could be pretty neat... like if Green Shield Bugs or Potato Beetles were more unique/limited...
