Evo name: Medieval Tail

[true panther]

I do like the idea of having a tail swipe attack, maybe the ankylosaurus club could be a specialization of it?

[brazen grotto]

what would the specialization add? a new attack shape?

damage that scales with spines damage?

[true panther]

damage that scales with plating would be an option, or maybe ignoring armor

size scaling also works

maybe the other specialization changes the shape to be more linear, like a tail whip

it's probably a two-attribute attack, like trunk

[brazen grotto]

or it could do extra damage at the tip or something like that, like a proper whip

[true panther]

more complex to code I assume but also a fun idea

actually, a somewhat humorous thing to do would be to have Tail Swipe be an attack that basically works like trunk but always comes from the back of Darwin, so you have to aim backwards but can attack in two directions at once

[brazen grotto]

oh i figured it would come out of the back, yeah

a great attack for those pesky cats

[true panther]

the idea of one of the cats charging into an ankylosaurus tail fills me with joy
