SUGGESTION: Ideas for the Dread

[CloneBlu]

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what your planning for the dread or if you have anything planned other than the queen.

1. Add some type of ranged unit, like a bowman/crossbowman or a acid spitter.

2. Maybe make it to where they can corrupt mobs when they kill them (maybe not guarantied to happen but has a chance too). Skeletons (into thrall or a knight [more rare to happen]) (maybe even a lich with a super rare chance), zombies (into ghouls), spiders (into scuttler), wolfs/dogs (beast), and horses (into the knights horses [BUT! It would be rare])

3. At some point (maybe after defeating the queen) allow us to be able to spawn our own dread (maybe add a item that needs to be consumed to be able to summon) (something like a dread soul drop [rare drop of course]). Or maybe a progression system where you can unlock more summons (maybe make a button select (V button, B button) system like in electroblob's wizardry while having some sort of staff out) (or it could just be random what you summon)

4. Add more dread structures, something like castles, camps, raided houses (the dread raided said houses), and temples.

5. Add dread versions of other vanilla mobs. Maybe endermen could become something like thief's. (referencing how they pick up blocks off your houses sometimes) Where their iconic purple eyes would become blue, their bodies fully skeleton, and maybe loose their ability to teleport and just have a speed boost ( feeling 50/50 on them losing their teleport tbh). Instead of doing dmg, they would steal items out of your inventory. Randomly of course, with a random amount taken (1-5 items at a once) of a random item or items. They would always take your armor last and weapons 2nd to last (or other way around). They would be fairly weak and would only exist to steal your stuff. But when they die, they leave a blue/white ender pearl that had 50% chance to explode doing 45% dmg of a tnt's max dmg depending on how close you are (basically never going to kill you unless you got no armor on). Of course the explosion cant destroy blocks or items. Once they do die, they would also drop any stolen items. Now if the ender pearl didn't explode, maybe it could have a future use for a end game boss or something else (or would just break apart after a few seconds) (with the eyes of ender breaking effect). (VERY RARE to spawn naturally, and a rare chance if any chance at all, to be summoned by a lich)

6. Another dread mob could be a slime. Now I had two ideas for them, they could either act as the regular slime or could be a support. They would look like like a slime but blue and a skull in the middle of it (or multiple bones along with the skull). If it acted like a regular slime it would split apart like normal. Though if the support idea is more appealing to you, it would actually have little blobs of it separate from the main body, and proceed to jump onto the heads of other dread, giving them a small amount of protection (around protection 1). It would continue to separate onto near by dread until it no long had a main body and the little ones where all that was left. The little ones will die along side the the dread its attached too once that said dread dies. This would have very rare chance to spawn naturally, and if the queen is going to have the ability to summon a bunch of dread at once, I would say that she alone can only summon it (at least until the player can get some sort of Dread raising ability). Though if the lich can summon them, I would say it would be one of if not the rarest summon.

(END) So, I'll be honest, I have more ideas, but I feel like it would be a bit much for the time being. (though what I already gave seems like it could be a mod on its own combined what's already within the game lol.)
