Halloween Idea: Call of Eldritch Super Animals

[slow shuttle]

So I thought we should have more Cosmic "Horror" Related Animals Like Fox of Cthulhu or Spawn of Tsathoggua or Dog Thing and Cathulhu with Eldritch Tiger, Wolf Thing and Skull Cathulhu and we could have Esoteric Sect of The Formless Dragon/The Super Dark Dragon which would be a Rival to The Banana Cult and would worship The Zombie Chickens like how some Hooman Worshiped Zombies in The Walking Dead.

So what you guys think a Cultists v SAR Mod for Halloween?

BTW The 2 main pictures are Foxhulhu and Põhja konn

We do have the Cthulhu Octopus already in the game which is probably enough Cthulhu-y creatures for the game, else it becomes a bit reductive, but Tsuggotha as a creepy frog variant might be worthwhile!
Also not directed at you as much but I always sigh hard when Cthulhu is like, the only Great Old One people shove into things

I feel like the game mode might clash with SVR unless you'd shake up the objectives to be say, summoning circles or the like.

Major trouble with a lot of cosmic horror stuff is is rarely translates very well to games in my opinion, and depends what horror adjacent stuff the devs will want to put into the game (obviously SAR-ified!). Though as some skins or even some spooky easter eggs/secrets might be a fun inclusion, whatever the future for SAR holds after Super Animal World comes out.

Well I don't think it's would comfortable to have the others because Cthulhu is the only one people know they barely Know The Frog God so I thought first why not try something everyone knows then the ones they don't know? Plus there aren't many Great old ones that are Animal like like Hastur and Kthanid

[slow shuttle]

The game mode I thought of Hostage situation/Bomb Situation or just a Reskin of The Zombies

However it's could involve magic

However then have to have an entire classes based on magic system which would be complicated

[slow shuttle]

Also I thought of The Skins as The Remaining Cultists that Survived The Battle after The Halloween Event

Sort of thing

[quartz coral]

Oh for sure, a lot of them just about fall into 'vaguely squid/octopus/gribbly monster' territory and wouldn't translate as well. Though both a Cthulhu-inspired one and the evil frog one might be enough for a game mode, could have alternate variants in the mode itself you know? Even if it's just cosmetic changes

[slow shuttle]

Also its would be helpful if you would give suggestions toi

Because Dagon/Deep ones are Fishes

There is Shark and Delphine variants of them

[quartz coral]

Ohhh I get what you mean, if you had it as a 'king of the hill' style map with the cultists trying to hold onto it for a set amount of time, that might work!

[slow shuttle]

Yes

[quartz coral]

Hear me out, what if, a bit like the Mole in SVR, you could have said evil 'god' creature arrive/get summoned as a last-ditch boss encounter, possibly.

[slow shuttle]

Also maybe "Man" of Lang could Goats or Spawn of The Black Goat

[slow shuttle]

Could be Goats

Ghouls are Hound like

There is a inbred family that devolved into Monkeys

[slow shuttle]

That could be good

However they have have a good old one and a evil old one

So each side has a chance

[slow shuttle]

Also just remember there is Man Lizards and Snake people

[quartz coral]

Oh there are absolutely, I did my dissertation at university on cosmic horror 🤣 My main reasoning was it's best to be careful with a lot of the creatures as even though you can make them in SAR's style... a lot of them are probably a bit much for the age rating sadly. Especially the ghouls and anything connected to the black goat get real gross, real quick and likely aren't appropriate!

[slow shuttle]

Well that's why we could have them as a Skin instead of something else

[slow shuttle]

Also I meant Blessed of Shub-Niggurath not Spawn of The Black Goat that is a another entity
