Been a Huge Fan! Of grounded since the day I found out about through my favorite content creator back in 2022.

I came on this forum to suggest some enemy and friendly insects or arachnids so here are my ideas that could fit into the game without being too crazy.

Enemy insects or arachnids:

1. Fishing spiders

2. Diving beetles

3. Dragonfly nymphs and adult dragonflies

4. Jumping spiders

5. Centipedes

6. Hornets

7. Leaf cutter ants

8. Assassin bug

Honorable mention:

Not an insect or arachnid but leeches would be a nice addition.

Friendly and neutral insects or arachnids:

1. Millipedes

2. Houseflies

3. Water striders

4. Bumblebees

5. Dung beetles

I have a really good suggestion. A boss should be a vinegaroon. That would be sick .

they've mentioned issues with animating something like a centipede. However, that can be circumvented by splitting the model into different segments with their own collision hulls. So technically, a centipede would be multiple entities connected together, with the body segments following the path of the head segment. Kind of like a train. Then, you'd just need to animate bending for the different sections so they seamlessly connect to one another as the centipede moves around. That's just a rudimentary design though: for things like having it rear up to attack, or go backwards, it would need to have a sort of spline curve system to keep the different segments connected.
