The Moxie Leech These little critters will dwell in all kinds of liquids, people will be scared of these things, while in liquid they will be almost invisible, tinly little larva, im thinking alight creamy green, or based on the liquid. Alone they'll be harmless, they will slowly drift towards nearby players and attach themselves, the first one or two the player wont be alerted and the only indication will be your power/energy/mana metre VERY slowy decreasing say 1% over 5 seconds and slowing the player by 1%, this effect however doubles apon itself for each extra attached: (2 = 2%,3=4%,4=8% ect so if 7 get you you're at 64% less speed and practically no energy, should be a cap on the slow) and at say 3 or 4 attached it will start doing a slow poison damage over time, Thats when the player will notice, almost certain doom. You will have to scramble for the surface, these little guys dont like air or direct sunlight, they'll take a little while to suficate in the air, but much shorter if the sun is up to dry them out(so hope to god its daytime), if players dont make it out in time the Moxie's will start attracting more from further away, slowing you more and more, drain you of all your energy and poison you to death. As for actually preventing them from getting you in the first place, you can either poison/purify the water, most weapons will be inaffective due to there size, and the chances of you spotting them are very slim (perhaps they can glow in the dark) i will attept pictures some point soon, but think of them as tiny glow worms, with less glow and more frieking out. i want them to be hated, by everyone.
a really good idea! however, if they are hated by everyone, the judges will hate em to, then there goes the chance of getting first place. love the concept of them glowing, even if only slightly. they should have however, a biome where they can't live in, say Artic? where the ocasionally freezeing water would kill them off.
they will be hated in a good way, like make you to scared to go in water. maybe just make the only survive in a certain biome, eg swamps, forests or area's of death
that'd be a good counter, as i'd hate no need to trow poisin in every water source before i go swiming in it. i reallt like the "area's of death" idea, as the more things that you kill there, the more dangerous the water gets, as things from the deep come out to play....
