quick scarab
One of my biggest desires is to be able to change my monsters a bit. I want to do things like make strong mini-bosses or just have slightly different monsters to differentiate from other dungeons.
-
Change Hearts. Very simple, just take more hits to defeat. So I could make a crab have four hearts.
-
Change Size. So that crab that now has four hearts is now double its size. A threatening mini-boss.
-
Immunity to terrain. Same mechanic as the actual boss monsters. So I could place a monster in a lava room as a mini-boss and it won't fall into the lava and end the fight uninterestingly.
Bonus Feature. This would probably take a lot of work so just something to consider for the future. Adding items to monsters for new effects, similar to Mario Maker.
For simplicity let's restrict it to only player items. Adding a lantern to a monster could make it glow. A fire staff could make it shoot fire. A bomb may make it either throw bombs or explode upon defeat.
