Here's a few boss ideas I've been thinking about. ●Dragonfly The dragonfly would be a flying boss, it could perform airborn attacks for a certain amount of time, then land and stay grounded(😁) for a certain amount of time. In the air it could attack with bites, swoops, dive bombs, and perhaps it could pick up pebbles and drop them on players, when on land it could bite, ram, perform a tail swing, and use it's wings to create a gust of wind that blows players back. Drops dragonfly chunks, dragonfly head, and dragonfly wings. You could craft a set of ranger armor out of it, as well as a great bow. ●Crab The crab would be a powerful boss with a lot of defense. One of it's claws could be larger then the other, and that claw could do more damage, but attack slower. Fought in a swampy area with pools of water around, deep enough for the crab to be submerged, but not so deep that players can swim above the crab, out of it's reach. Can attack with claw pinches, body slams, raming, hurling pebble, and slaming it's claws down to creat shockwaves that shoots forwards. Under water, it's shockwaves could be larger. Could also be able to block. Drops crab claw, crab shell, and crab legs. Can craft a suit of fighter armor out of it, as well as a heavy shield and a spear. ●Centipede A large boss fought in a underground cavern. It's length gives it a impressive reach with it's attacks, which are bites, tail whips, body slams, burrowing into the ground and erupting upwards somewhere else, spitting sour acid, which inflicts tang buildup, it could summon some much smaller centipedlings to help it. At some point, it could burrowing into the ground, stick it's head out of the cave's ceiling, and spit large amounts of sour acid down on the players. Drops centipede mandible, centipede chunks, and centipede gland. You can craft a set of rogue armor out of it, and a pair of sickles. ●O.G.R.R Mant The O.G.R.R Mant has a elemental effect, like all O.G.R.R creatures, it has three combat phases, and every time it switches to a different phase, it changes elements, having fresh in one, sour in another, and spicy in the last. Attacks include punches, slams, close-range elemental blasts, elemental bombs, summon mini mants, could also counter, and it could inflict a buildup effect to all players near it.(what effect depends on what element it currently has) Drops mant head mant claw, mant chunks, and buff'in glands. Can craft a set of mage armor out of it, and a two-handed club. These are my ideas for bosses, please let me know what you think, if something should be changed, something added, or if you have more boss ideas.

The idea of the buggy trinkets was to allow players to customize their buggies to better fit their playstyles, the idea of ones that allow buggies to cross over abilities is intriguing. I figure, some craft able trinkets for your buggies would be neat as well. A few more trinkets effect ideas, one that allows them to travel in sizzling or chilling areas, one that boosts their defense while a player is riding them, and meaby one that makes their attacks have a chance to summon mini larva, like some O.G.R.R. creatures can.

Buggy trinkets I think it would be cool if buggies had their own trinkets that only they can equip, that players cannot equip. For a few ideas, the nightstalker fangs could be changed into a buggy trinkets, there could be one that gives them the major threat effect, another could make it that, after the buggy is downed, you have more time to revive it before it is knocked out, one that makes the buggy do bonus elemental damage could be a rare drop from O.G.R.R creatures. There also could be ones that can only be equipped by specific buggies, for example, one that only soldier ants can use that allows them to recruit a additional worker ant, or one that can only be equipped by orb weavers that makes their roar boost nearby allies damage for awhile. New buggies Praying mantis nymph buggy Active abilities Pounce-the praying mantis jumps forwards and slams down when it lands, damaging enemies around it Shockwave-the mantis slams both claws down, creating a Shockwave that shoots straight forwards, this ranged attack can break enemies blocks Passive abilities Deals extra ambush damage, attacks do chopping damage and can cut down grass and weeds, can jump rather high. Mutations Clawmaster-makes the pounce ability inflict bleeding buildup, unlocked by hitting a large amount of enemies with it's pounce attack Reaper- grants the third hit of the mantis nymph's 3-hit combo the life steal effect, unlocked by defeating a certain amount of enemies with the mantis buggy Bombardier beetle buggy Active abilities Acid shot- the bombardier beetle fires a globe of acid forwards, bursts into a acid puddle on impact, puddle remains for awhile, inflicts sizzle buildup Acid spray- shoots a close-range spray of acid in front of it, leaves behind a acid puddle that remains for awhile, Inflict sizzle buildup Passive abilities Immune to sizzle, grants the rider sizzle resistance, acid puddles created by it's active abilities can remove other elemental puddles, like the tang puddles in the garden Mutations Acid blaster-acid puddles the bombardier beetle creates last longer and Inflict more sizzle buildup, unlocked by hitting a large amount of enemies with the acid shot Beetle barrier- lengthens the bombardier beetle's perfect block windows, unlocked by blocking a certain amount of attacks with the bombardier beetle Cricket buggy Active abilities Leap of faith- the cricket jumps high into the air, then slams down into the ground, creating a damaging area of effect around it Screech- screams loudly, dealing a large amount of stun to all nearby enemies Passive abilities Can jump very high, immune to fall damage, other crickets won't flee from cricket buggies Mutations Bardic buggy- the cricket's screech will grant random buffs to nearby allies, unlocked by using it's screech a certain number of times Crippling cricket- the cricket's charged attacks inflict a random negative effect on enemies,unlocked by defeating a large number of enemies with the cricket buggy Buggy skins I think buggies should have equipable skins, to change their appearance, for example, you could make the orb weaver buggy look like a diving bell spider, of a wolf spider(or meaby even the hedge broodmother), make the ladybug buggy look like a potato beetle or a ladybird, and you could make the bombardier beetle look like a rust beetle.

If later enemies(such as moths) could inflict bleeding, perhaps it could be changed to a buildup effect, like venom. Similar to venom, it would do damage over time, getting worse the more it builds up, once maxed out, the player could start limping, drastically reducing their movement speed(but not their attack speed). There also could be some sort of stitching bandages that reduce bleeding buildup. Just a side thought, antlions could do bleeding buildup.

Hi there! I really like Grounded, it is one of my favorite games, but I always wished it had splitscreen co-op, so I could play it with my brother, if that option could ba added to Grounded 2, that would be amazing. After all, it is a game that focuses a lot on multiplayer, I think it would benefit from a extra multi-player option. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
