Let Kuva Liches Die

[(NSW)Grobnar]

Let me start by saying that, holistically, I like the Lich system so far, and while there's plenty of room for improvement,one pretty common complaint is how the Liches don't die. Would it be possible to just reskin the retreat mechanic as a death? Like, after you down them three times they ragdoll, and after a beat they play the same animation as when you kill the larvling and disappear, getting angrier?

This obviously isn't a fix for the larger issues with the system, but it seems like it would be relatively simple to implement and just look cooler and more lich-like. Visuals are an important part of a game's entertainment value, and I think people would like their Liches a lot more if, instead of running away, they died. And came back.
