Also, maybe a Jockey armour to go with it? Something giving a creepy look. These guys are probably the most impressive addition of the update alongside the Toe Biters but there's no reason to fight them since they only give meat. Maybe they could drop their head and membranes and we could make some mage underwater armour to go with the staff. Getting those materials would be an incentive to not just avoid them, specially in the Abyss, where if you ride the Toe Biter they will ignore you.

So after playing the new update, which is fantastic, I loved the Pond Jockeys, they are so cool as a ranged enemy, throwing the little ones to damage you... Also noticed you can't be a mage underwater, just a spearman or use the harpoon gun. What about a special weapon, maybe a reward in the Abyss (loved the lore reference to Lovecraft between these bugs and the Koi called Dagon) which was a mage weapon for underwater? It would consist of having a couple of these smaller pond Jockeys and ordering them, it would probably work well with the staff system since the blob projectiles already track enemies and it would be really cool. Maybe make us get some eggs from an altar to dagon and craft the staff underwater with bones and scales so the little ones think Dagon is guiding them?

I know it is hard to implement, but if sometime in the future there's time for it, it would be cool to have more armors made of the bugs already in the game. For example, the Mosquito. They have a rapier which ads a lifesteal effect to your attacks, but the most interesting armor to pair with them is the ladybug, making you a walking tank with a rapier. Would be cool if mosquitoes had their own armour set which could give an improvement to the healing received through lifesteal. Would be freaking cool if the armour theme was vampiric, like a cape made out of the wings and a mask to put an example. This one is just an example, there's some other bugs without armor which could be used for adding different ways to play, it doesn't need to specifically be a new archetype, but it'd be cool to have mosquitoes and ticks for lifesteal for example, fireflies for a support armour (maybe) and similar things like the Boatman bugs and diving bell spiders having their own underwater armours for different purposes.
