Larva Harm Intent

[Kyrac]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So, the Larva is a stage in the game where a human has bursted, and is deceased. This larva is defenseless unless in a hive surrounded by a good amount of resin doors, other aliens, and etc. Recently, I just purchased the game Aliens versus Predator(Pretty good game by the way), and noticed on the Alien campaign in the introduction how hostile a larva was and how intimidating it was; It tried to break free from it's containment and it bit and gnawed at the glass. My idea is why not give them a bite, doing at least 5 brute damage so they can have some effectivity in this early stage if they're under attack and it's all they got left.

Not much else to add.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It acts a defense mechanism to the Larva while in this state, so they can actually do a little bit of damage.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): On click, they'd bite the mob. Adding 5 Brute damage, or whatever is necessary.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Through some code, it's like seeing all the other mobs like Ian for example, and on click it'd just nuzzle a player or other mob.

What it is, is that they can currently only bite creatures of the simple animal type, so rodents and some other small creatures, but none of the larger creatures in the game. I do like this idea, and its not like a suicide charge by a larva is going to gain you too much. +1 from me.

No. Larva can never do anything aggressive.
