Introduction

Hey guys! The past few weeks I’ve spent a lot of time working on our MythicMobs. There’s a wide variety of them, from normal mobs that help make up each region or Fracture’s theme, to challenging monsters or encounters which will require a group of players to defeat. There are also several mobs planned that directly relate to the lore. This is absolutely something that the community can help out with, so I’ll be hosting a MythicMobs creation contest, which I’ll be talking about below.

MythicMobs

First things first though, I want to show off some of the creatures I’ve created so far and give some inspiration to community creators, as well as show off some of the things you can do with MythicMobs. Don’t be too worried about damage values / mob cheese, as I’ll be balancing and updating mobs as we go along.

Phase Spiders

Found in forests throughout the overworld, these spiders casually cross the border between the physical and the ethereal. They’ll shoot webs to slow down their prey before leaping at them through the veil.

Brood Mother

Brood Mothers will do anything to protect their young… including hunting you for food! Brood Mothers are an encounter. You’ll always find them scurrying about with several other members of the brood, complete with their own drops. Brood Mothers will lay eggs during combat that, if not destroyed quickly, will spawn more spiders to fight for her. She’ll also try to root you down with her web attacks.

Venomspitters

Found in the southern jungles of the overworld, these nasty creatures will fly about spitting deadly venom at any hapless passerby. Their venom sacs are useful in creating potions.

Magma Mephits

Creatures not native to the overworld, Magma Mephits are creatures of flame and magma who are extremely volatile. They’ll rush you down with fire-themed attacks. They tend to be very unstable when they die and often explode on death, but the valuable alchemical reagents they drop are more than worth the risk.

Occasionally, you may find a group of Magma Mephits surrounding an Elder Magma Mephit. These elder creatures are tougher than their younger counterparts. They’ll summon Flame Spirits to attack you from the skies and will hit harder.

Ember Wolves

Quite similar to normal wolves from our own dimension, but significantly tougher, Ember Wolves’ pelts are covered in streaks of flame. They’re sought after for their flaming pelts and blaze powder.

Ifrit

Fire spirits from another world, Ifrits will kite players while delivering bolts of hellfire. They deal significant damage but can’t take many hits themselves.

Ice Anomaly

This icy creature fires shards of pure ice and slows down nearby players. They’re very good at sneaking up on unaware players by blending in with the snow. Kill it to collect shards of pure crystal ice for further crafting.
