    Succubus' whole thing is being a sexy demon though. That's like having a pelican without its unique beak!

    love the one in the center.
    the entire creature could be a natural tank buster if it manages to engulf the player.
    The eyes could paralyze or shoot lighting.
    The Green glowing thing could passive drain mana or life in the area.

    And if Bosses have multiple hit-boxes
    Each eye, mouth, limp its own small hitbox that slowly regenerate as the boss gets stronger and stronger.
    focus on different parts to lock down certain mechanics of the boss.

    Love the sheer amount of mechanics one could implement when working with the eldritch.
    Imagination is the only limit here.
    And that the Eldritch are horrors to behold and fight against.


    Not forgetting the open sea.

    How i see the middle one is it starts large but much smaller than that. The mechanics revolving around the creature growing in size and mechanics to attempt to reduce it. The large the size the more powerful the creature becomes with people trying to reduce as much time as possible of it becoming the largest size. Which eventually will create very hard mechanics to deal with and eventually try to swallow the entire raid. Players absorb increase the creatures size and a certain amount die during the raid everyone will end up getting absorbed. Which means raid wipe, and a way that creates danger if you try to zerg down the boss which creates more people to get absorb and much faster raid wipes.

    I'd imagine a raid group is in a dungeon killing a lot of creatures and such as they travel around the area noticing weird things like a giant thing that could be a face, and kind of feet, etc. Not noticing its a whole creature, then they finish a boss thinking they beat the dungeon and the entire area starts to shift as the super Gargantuan ent starts to size with people being the size of its toe and having to fight the real raid boss.

    I hope creatures in Ashes won't resemble too much of real life creatures. Like if we're adding a cow, make it an AoC looking cow and not a real life black/white one. If that makes sense. Make the cow hairy and maybe with horns etc. Just an example.

    It would be cool if it was a world boss where a bunch of people had to like harpoon it first to trap it above ground first before we could all damage it.

    You know there are RL cows that are hairy and have horns, right...?

    Cue the Highland Cow:

    Not every cow is a Friesian Cow.

    Looks like the minotaurs they just announced. The female version.

  • The Ghrul, (maybe Undead) Goblin Witch:

    goblyn.jpg?fit=800%2C450&ssl=1

    I'd prefer a more bloated, miserable and disgusting looking creature as reference but this matched the design Intrepid already showcased for Goblins.
    "There should be a (maybe Undead) witch goblin called a Ghrul that causes the building to sweat and mold, and beautiful things to grow ugly and old, and colorful things to become grey and depressing..... plants becoming swollen with mucous, fruits rotting and full of spiders. .. and it keeps trying to move into people's houses and spawn little Goblin Welps and Witches.
    Might turn into a dungeon level area; burrowing through the rotten floor boards and digging into sneeze dirt to form burrows and perhaps link up if multiple houses are taken over, setting up traps and hanging up bone trinkets and banner corpses.
    Goblin Grubs would be the larva stage. . . egg sacks in the low corners. . . evolving after consuming rotting things which there are plenty of."

    SPAWN, but perhaps more blistered and depressing looking:

    Now, if the Egyptians had made their Sphinx look like that, there's no way they'd have let it get so ruined!

    I think you could make all kinds of cool designs from nature. Take it in all kinds of directions.

    I think predators are not good mounts.
    They cannot naturally accept to obey. Or when they do, will not have the initiative to fight to defend the one who stole their freedom and broke their will.
    Having a mind control skill while riding combat mounts could be useful.
