This isn't a rock monster, guys. Most of you seem to be assuming that what you're seeing here is the monster, itself. What this monster is, if you read the post more carefully, is actually a robot that digs through the ground. Those boulders and rocks you see are actually not part of its body, but rather just part of the sprite that will be drawn behind other blocks to give the impression of a robot digging through the ground. Once digging it out from this shell, it will likely look very different, as someone already pointed out, maybe a giant robotic snake, or something. Regardless of its true nature, this is a beautiful idea for a boss fight.
I was under the impression the rocks were attached to it as a form of camouflage. Like a Magikarp-shaped submarine . Also, it will clearly be piloted by a Penguin.
This whole magic/science debacle reminds me of a particular part of Homestuck. Also, the ID of the only staff so far is "scistaff". "Sci" as in "Science", no friendly name given yet. And you know what they say about distinguishing advanced science from magic. Or magic from not-understood science, phrases like that.
The Three Laws of Science When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C Clarke I would love to see a race, maybe the cultists, that have taken to advanced technology from the Precursors (or whatever the race that uplifted the Avians and created the Glitch is called), gotten some of it to work, and built an entire religion out of it. That would be a natural, in-game, thematic, and realistic way to put "magic" in the game. But at the same time, if anyone on the dev team puts in an honest-to-God magic wand into the game, and doesn't even bother to make it look techy, I will cry foul.
I call it The Eater of Rocks! Seriously though it would be great to have some burrowing enemies in the game to add to the danger. he looks sorta small though, will he have friends(or more of himself as a degraded boss)?
His name should definitely be BLOX you Summon him with a Giant Drill or a Glitch princess. If the Dragon didnt take that idea
this thing should randomly come out of meteorites to make meteorites worse also increase chances of meteorites spawning ive never had one spawn ever
