Okay, friends. So I'm trying to think up a mid-boss for my newest project and I can't think of anything to fit the bill. What you should know: -The level is set in a dry area -Various themes of the level include digging, ruins, and fire -I've used only three metal materials so far; I'd prefer for it to stay like that. The boss can be anything - mobile, sessile, tactile, or just plain vile.

I think a flaming Stone Monster would be cool, assuming you implement it correctly. I've been working on a Cardboard Monster for a while myself.

Agreed with the stone-fire-thingamajiggy. Maybe a cactus that comes to life (for humor) or a spider of some sort. Spiders in dry areas seem to fit

Is it dry as in a desert? A hot desert? Or a cold one? If it's a hot desert, you could make a scorpion or spider. Or like other people have said, a stone monster would be cool.

The environment is a dry desert. The level's based in the Canyons theme. I was thinking I could do something similar to the Collector Final Boss (I've made something like it before), and a stone beast sounds neat. Any other ideas, as to attacks or effects?

Obviously a crush attack is his main method of attack. If you are trying to make him like The Collector, you can make him smash his fists down, shake the camera, and cause rocks to fall from the air. He can spawn small flaming rock enemies as well.

If you eat peyote cactus you hallucinate. You could think of anything after that, a ballerina, an electric duck, or a lawnmower who's main attack is to summon a flock of seagulls. You could start off with a simple peyote boss, and then go quite crazy from there

The boss could summon flaming cactus creatures to run across the screen.

... How about a fossil monster that attacks by summoning reanimated skeletons to attack you. (Sorry I just played LoZ TP)

I'm with Grantos' peyote idea.

A scorpion would come out pretty well in LBP style I think. I'd really like to see a well done snake battle as well, their mobility has plenty of potential for a very cool boss fight.

Boss progress so far; I've made it eerily similar to the Collector boss (two brains on each pounding arm with one in the insides), but the way I have it now, it will be quite difficult to make the creature spawn enemies. Instead I was planning some sort of projectile attack, like simple fireballs or red plasma balls. Maybe I should upload pictures of the guy. He looks funny.

You make killer bosses

Go for it. Id like to see how long it takes you before you give up... I mean like you have him pop outta the sand, say a few words, then take off flying through the air, only to start attacking mario in a different dimension...Yea ill give you some credit if you recreate the battle with this guy.

Has he got a mouth? Make him spit fireballs that ROLL IN SCORCHY DEATH! He should come out of the sand and make you jump. I kind of imagined him as an Easter Island head with massive fists and a nose only a mother could love!

For a ruins theme, I was thinking having a boss with no real shape, just parts of the ruins forming a monster... Then after hitting parts off, it eventually looks like a stick-figure, then you just hit its weak point (torso).
