I just had that silly idea since we're (a lot) talking about the next refreshes of DST characters and peoples are coming out with fantastic stuff.
If we wad to make a refresh for some of the actual stuff regarding game's creatures, on who and what would you focus on ?
On my side I'd pick bats, cuz' I like them but they don't like anyone of us on the game :/
And I will LITERALLY pick bats so I can fix this ! What do I mean ? Well, for those who knows old facts on Don't Starve, maybe you've noticed than bats have an unused inventory icon, which is this one :
(If you want as well your own inventory bat, simply use this command )
local bat = SpawnPrefab("bat") bat:AddComponent("inventoryitem") ThePlayer.components.inventory:GiveItem(bat)
K, so your first question might be "Whatcha gonna do with a bat ?"
Hmm... First, let's get the bat's trust ! You don't want the lil' devil to munch your fingers, don't you ? For that, we'd need to give the bat some food daily and after 3 days or so, she'll looks slightly more peaceful and you can now pet the bat to maximise your friendship, if you do it before getting her trust, she'll bite you and escape from your inventory (You just get what you deserved! /s)
If things go well, according to character examination quotes, you should think about releasing the bat and... oh wow, she's friendly and follow you !
Now what can a bat do ? Bat stuff of course ! Such as catching bugs ! Now you have your own flying Bug Net, bats will catch Mosquitoes, Butterflies, Bees (WAIT DON'T DO THAT!), and even Fireflies. And give them back to you if she's not hungry, keep your bat happy.
Something funny I had in mind is also to make them a good ally in caves during earthquakes, like... when it starts, your bat will rise and reflect a shadow on top of you, so you know where she is. If a rock is about to fall on you, the bat will deflect its direction so you don't have to avoid it (must be some dark magic). If there's multiple rocks, you'd need multiple bats, they can't get all of your bad luck in the same time, do it worth it to have more bats ? If you ask a bat-lover, yes such as me : yes.
SO ! That was quite a long but complete idea of mine, I'm also looking for your ideas, dunno, I might be in the mood of doing a bat taming mod or something from what you have in mind...
If you wanna be inspired in case you don't have a crush on a mob already that needs your crazy ideas,
you can look at the mobs page of the wiki. See you bellow !
