This thing kind of looks like a giant frag grenade with a drill, and mechanical appendages. Still awesome though
Rock Man!! Approaching from beneath... Rock Fire!! Fire rains down from the heavens!! (This should be a good battle!)
I'm all for this. Sounds cool and original if you don't have context, and is a funny reference if you do. I'm getting the feeling that some of the other suggestions so far are references to various animes that aren't well-known outside of a certain niche group, whereas Rocky is firmly entrenched in popular culture. By the way, devs, I appreciate the effort to develop bosses that require lateral thinking to defeat them. Keeping us on our toes is a great idea, especially for boss fights.
First Thought: "Crud, this boss is gonna be alot harder to cheese if he can dig..." Am I a terrible person?
Omg yes. More boss types and hopefully some golems. I love me some golems. The boss behaviors do need to be more varied. Maybe include teleportation, dropping objects that stay or decay, short lived obstacles/dangers, shooting missles that come back down etc. The next stable update can't come soon enough. Great job George! ... Other improvements from devs are amazing as well! So excited. ALSO: Kinda weird that a quote triggered an error for posting links in which I qualified anyways (at least 2 posts, registered for more than 0 days) ?!?! Hope George is notified or whatever either way. I hope the novakid spawn animation with the shaking bottles gets included. I am amazed at how good you animators are (Chucklefish and others). I guess I can't edit on mobile worth anything.
Is it just me or am I the only one that thinks that this is mearly the head of a giant mechanical rock snake? >_>; Gimme a sec to explain the reason behind my madness. The other boses were either sprited in a front profile (Dreadwing and Jelly) or a side perspective (Fatal Circuit and Bone Dragon). This one appears as though it were sprited from a top-down profile. Maybe I'm reading too much into it... that and joining a friend in Terraria farming The Destroyer so she can get the mask and trophy. Anyway, it's looking quite awesome. Even moreso if it were a giant rock snake. Balboa Constrictor!
I'm loving this new boss! It would be awesome if it had a second stage once it has reached a certain amount of health, such as all of its armor or rocks falling off to reveal a faster but more vulnerable monster. Also, when the bosses are summoned, it would be pretty cool if they had an intro, like words popping up on the screen similar to Kill la Kill or Borderlands with its words and possibly a temporary background being displayed on the screen.
