1 hour ago1 hr This is Reduvius Personatus (or the Masked Hunter bug)I was thinking of the Playground area which is more than likely going to be like the sandbox from the first game. Obviously there will be antlions, but I was thinking of a bug that could replace the antlions in some situations. I present you, with Reduvius Personatus. They can attach things like sand grains to their bodies, and at night, actively hunt prey. If there's going to be a sandy area, there are more than likely going to be a ton of new bugs to help diversify, (example: Camel Spiders, new scorpion variants, and even the adult Antlions), but I wanna just throw this one out there. For how it would be likely encountered or fought, I'd imagine it be like if you gave a Northern Scorpion steroids. They're incredibly stealthy, venomous, and very fast. With them being mostly nocturnal hunters, traveling the playground area at night (to avoid sizzle damage) would mean you'd have to constantly be ready to fight one. I have no idea what tier they'd be put into, but I personally would put them T3 or above. The main issue in terms of combat however, is that they use paralyzing enzymes to rapidly immobilize prey. I don't know how this would work, because I feel like this would be largely unfair due to how quick you'd be able to die to one. A paralyzing effect could be added where it builds up like chill, slowing you down over time but with the added negative effect of that it damages you too.As for their size, since Obsidian has taken a lot of creative liberties in the sizes of creatures and the world around us, so I genuinely have no clue for how big they could be in game. If you have any suggestions for this, don't hesitate to add them in the replies
