Nightmares of the Hidden Side - Part 1
Faces in the trees crawl out of the shadows...

​

...Oh no you've done it again haven't you
HA SIKE JUST KIDDING GET CLICKBAITED

The funny Wynncraft fanmade Adventure Map Hidden Side is not finished yet

1.12.2 has been terrible for this so far picking that version years ago was a horrible horrible mistake
Anyways I had to make a cool model in 1.19.4 just to repair my shattered ego on having to be limited in creating absolutely terrible models in the old bad version because ^ ^ ^ doesn't exist for commands yet



I wasn't joking btw what the hell are these abominations

Yes I know I spelled Corruption wrong shut up​

Anyways once I move away from 1.12.2, this enemy is going to actually appear as a mob in the Nightmare Wood, so technically I didn't clickbait you
You don't need to sue me anymore thanks

Anyways cool mob which isn't technically a suggestion for the Wynncraft server which is why I'm putting it in the Your Work category of the forums

Quick prior context, a couple of weeks ago I had this really cool enemy idea that has since been constantly stuck in my head

So I decided to take a break from working on Hidden Side and drew this up yesterday so I can create it in-game

​

Anyways

Behold cool mob

​

I should actually mention that this is going to be an enemy used in a possible future Hidden Side iteration, so I'm going to actually go in-depth to its mechanics.

(Copied from Discord):

The Stulthram Moladictu is a purple-starred mob that spawns in the Nightmare Wood with six phases, its health spread out across said phases to account for how many there are. It's essentially a miniboss of sorts.

The player is supposed to see the Stulthram Moladictu constantly invert its colors, hence the rapid phase changing giving this effect.

Phases 1 and 2​

The enemy has a relatively slow walk speed and simple non-chain single spells throughout all six of its phases, although the frequency of these spells drastically increase for each phase.

Every two phases, a single head is taken off from one of the Stulthram Moladictu's hands, starting from its left.
Which this happens, a small invulnerable minion called the Stulthram Solunus is ejected from the enemy's location. I'll get to that later.

Phases 3 and 4​

The same happens for the right hand upon the end of Phase 4, once again spawning another Stulthram Solunus and rendering the Stulthram Moladictu empty-handed.

Phases 5 and 6​

Stulthram Solunus are floating heads that come from the main body that are invincible and completely unaffected by player attacks. Stulthram Solunus will have Charge AI, the behavior where Wynncraft enemies travel in straight lines. I'm sure you've seen it before.

When a Stulthram Solunus spawns, whether it will be white or black is randomly decided.

​

Their movement speed is quite fast, and will essentially charge at the player at high speeds. Given their invulunerability to any attacks, they serve more as projectiles than anything else.

Their melee damage should one of them hit you is extremely high, and will deal a lot of damage to the player. While it has relatively simple spells of its own, the charging Stulthram Solunus is the Stulthram Moladictu's main source of damage.

Once the sixth phase of the Stulthram Moladictu is brought down, it suddenly turns into the Stulthram Moladictu's Core, an immobile and passive mob (I was too lazy to make a model for this nor do I have any idea how it will look like). Downing the sixth phase also splits the Stulthram Moladictu into an additional 3 mobs called Stulthram Collasimul.

​

Just like the Stulthram Solunus, whether the Stulthram Collasimul will be white or black when spawning is randomly decided.

Stulthram Collasimul have low health, slow movement speed and casts Self-Destruct if not killed after roughly around 10 seconds. Killing each Stulthram Collasimul spawns three Stulthram Solunus, the invulnerable single Charge AI heads.

In other words, the 2 Stulthram Solunus that come from the main body's hands along with killing the 3 Stulthram Collasimul leads to a whopping eleven unkillable Stulthram Solunus constantly charging towards the player at high speeds. This sheer number of effectively permanent projectiles can easily overwhelm the player.

Once the Stulthram Moladictu Core is finally killed, all Stulthram Collasimul and Stulthram Solunus immediately despawn and the player is free to collect the rare mob drops.

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure when Wynncraft is going to have the tech for enemies to split or phase change into more then 1 type of mob when you kill them, but the Stulthram Moladictu kind of banks on that mechanic existing. Nevertheless, this will be perfectly possible in the context of Hidden Side being a Singleplayer World, so I'm not too concerned.

QNA
Q: I have some feedback on a-

Q: Uh, is this mob a reference to something?
A: ...heh, you really AreAnIdiot, aren't you?

Spoiler: .

Q: What's Hidden Side
A: idk

 

How's Hidden Side

 

Ok hi hey there back sorry I completely forgot to add an image of a back view that's done now

But the thing is that I also had some minor lore of this guy that I also completely forgot to put in
So I'm just going to copy paste my entire Discord message wall here:

"
This mob literally has 0 lore
I can come up with one now though
Let me think real quick
Well, it spawns in the Nightmare Wood
And while it references YouAreAnIdiot I don't really want the enemy to be a digital one
I'll just say that the Stulthram Moladictu is a Nightmare Wood floral-based nightmarish monstrosity horribly warped by darkness (The Nightmare Wood is near the Dern Portal)
The Stulthram Moladictu's faces are all either flowers or leaves idk
I can't really give an explanation as to why they look like faces
Well, I can technically
Speaking from a biological perspective some animals do evolve false faces
Either to scare away predators and such
I can say that the Stulthram Moladictu tries to shape false faces reminiscent of something vaguely humanoid from its wood in order to scare away predators and attract prey
And that the creature doesn't actually have a color that's perceptible to humans, the whole color inversion is merely a last-ditch hallucination by the player in order to try and comprehend it
Eh doesn't sound right
Scratch that one
The wood is still black and white but passive mind trickery induced by the Stulthram Moladictu on the player looking at this nightmare causes mild visual hallucinations like color inversion
There that makes somewhat more sense
"

Anyways that's all thanks excuse the momentary brain fart
