Ilmendur - Heirs to the Elven Sword

Base data¶

• Name: Bobby
• Environment: Caverns and caves, especially wet ones
• Weakness: Bombs

Appearance¶

Bobby is our adaption of an animal named "Bobbitt worm" (Eunice aphroditois), a predator worm. Its appearance is modelled after this animal's appearance, but it should be large -- large enough to have a leg fit into its mouth.

Behaviour¶

Bobby waits, burried in the soft ground, only exposing its five antennae. Whenever something is careless enough and steps onto this place, it snaps down on its victim and attempts to draw it into its burrow. This enemy can appear both above and under water.

If one of the heroes has been attacked by Bobby, it should be quickly killed by use of any weapon. The heavy first bite alone deals heavy damage to the victim. Only after several hits, it dies or at least releases its victim before retracting. If Bobby succeeds in drawing the protagonist into its burrow, the Game is Over.

How to defeat¶

Bobby will attempt to snap down on anything that touches its antennae. Placing for example a bomb there will (for an overwater Bobby) deal lots of damage to Bobby. Doing that twice will kill it. Underwater Bobbies need to be pulled out of their hiding with a special weapon that's yet to be invented.

Miscellaneous¶

Bobby will snap down on enemies as well if they are careless enough. If a stone, pot, or other indegistable object is placed on its antennae, it will still snap down on it, but then notice it's indegistable and after a short moment it emerges again from the ground and throws the object away in fast pace before retracting again to its waiting position.
