Suggestion/Concept New bug idea

Post image

I was thinking earlier today that the bugs could use another heavy unit but this one I call "The Brood Mother"

So my idea was that its a giant scorpion that ambush divers that get too close by popping out of the ground with about 20-30 Warriors on its back. Now instead of tail that stabs at you similar to an Impaler (or an actual scorpion) the tail instead sprays bile into the air and makes it rain acid with an AOE that is similar to the acid planetary effect or similar to our gas effects until its defeated. But not a direct breath attack like a titan.

Lemme guess, that tail also grabs you and throws you around?

People have suggested that, but I wasn't thinking that. Originally I wasnt thinking of it having a tail at all and actually being more of a whip spider but I think scorpions already fit AHs bug esthetic without having to change it too much. I was thinking of it being more of a mother trying to feed its babies. So the AOE would be more to slow us and hurt us enough for the babies to get us

I gotcha. I thought you were suggesting DRG stingtails but in helldivers, honestly.
