Gah... mara basi hybrid is bit too much using old ideas.
I rly want to know how Taiyo.uk desinged this if he even did desing any statics/abilities for it.
Hmm.... Design process... I figured that since all aliens have six legs and some have smaller limbs at the front, this one should stick to this pattern, else it'll look out of place in the game. The two front limbs in this case are the lower jaw when folded (I like things that have explosive gorespamming mouths like Geiger's alien or the vampires in Blade), and as for the spiky tentacle, well... you can't have a mouth that opens like that without something that shoots out of it and eviscerates you. Overall it's about the size of a goon, available at S3, 4 evos, 300HP, primary attack is to grab humans, immobilising those that aren't in a BS, and ripping bits off of them using it's tentacle, a long slow process with lots of squishy bone crunching noises. 70HP/s to an unarmoured human. Tentacle whip as a secondary attack, no pounce, similar jumping height to a goon. Of course these statistics/abilities will change as needed during the play testing period.
<3!!!
What are you going to call it?a couple of suggested possibilities:Tengu, Harpy, Cockatrice, Hippogriff (since it is kind of a big Basi, and has a grabbing attack; Tremulous has one beast already named for a mythical animal, and this new Alien is a similar class, combat-wise)
Jaeger, Sapper, Pioneer (the basic Tremulous naming convention is to use a name for a type of combatant, harkening back to the types of classifications for 17th & 18th Century infantry and cavalry)
