Suggestion, adding the Praying Mantis
Add the formidable and horrifying Praying Mantis in the game. It should only be spawned by using a new Lure Trap with grinded part from a dead p.mantis added as an ingredient (workbench item).
Behavior
If nothing attacks the p.mantis and the lure has been sniffed enough, it will eventually move to an area with dense grass vegetation.
At the p.mantis hideout, it will be waiting for spiders, ants and of course small humans to pass by and attacks with a short warning. However, if the p.mantis attacks a soldier ant, all nearby ants will swarm in and try to kill it. This may also affect the population of the ants for a short period of time. The p.mantis is rather hard to detect because it has the same green colour as grass and blends in naturally in dense vegetation while waiting for it's next victim.
A p.mantis have long and quick front legs with rather extensive range. For this reason, a hand weapon with longer range should be added to the game (maybe constructed with the front leg from a defeated p.mantis?).
The fight
The p.mantis should have better stamina than the wolf spider since the attacks will only burst out in a fast forward motion from a standing point. Suggest that the p.mantis raise the body a bit just before the attack so that the player could anticipate the attack, if fast enough.
If outside the p.mantis attack range, it's should be rather easy to outrun the p.mantis since it will stay near it's hideout.
The Ride
It should also be possible (but difficult) to jump up on it's back and ride it. If a player succeed, the p.mantis goes berserk and attacks everything and everyone nearby until the player can't hold on anymore and falls off (maybe just by fluttering it's wings to kick off the passenger). The p.mantis is now very exhausted and is much easier to kill. When dead, it will leave a part from the front leg that can be used to make a new lure trap or weapon (long an powerful spear perhaps?).
