[Boss Concept] Mammoth And Sabertooth - Adaptation-Based Corpus Proxies

[Morec0]

  Mammoth and Sabertooth – Eris Boss fight

 

Mammoth – Shields any nearby allies with an extremely powerful shield, produces shockwave attacks, charges players to stun them for a few seconds, attacks with melee attacks.

 

Appearance - Mammoth is a hulking mountain of a proxy, every limb of his is about as thick as a medium-sized frame and he towers well above the Tenno (think about-jackal sized, maybe a tad bigger). It is a tripod with two front legs and a single rear leg coming out of where its body stops, but also has  fourth appendage -  a trunk-like arm that is rolled back up over its head, from which it extends, and is held above the back. It is this arm that it attacks with, as well as produces its shockwave blasts with - by means of slamming it into the ground.

Also on its back is a blue-glowing shield-generator that also doubles as a weak stop, although it is fairly small compared to the rest of the body and  partially blocked by Mammoth's trunk when it's not attacking. If Mammoth is the last one standing, the blue-glow color he has alters to yellow. Ranged attacks are canon-like energy blasts from its "trunk."

 

Sabertooth – Turns invisible (also losing her tracking marker) and will run to a point away from players to snipe from afar (isn’t invisible while she does), can make decoy clones of itself, occasionally teleports to players to deal high damage with a melee attack, is a ranged attacker.

 

Appearance - Sabertooth is a quadruped (because we certainly don't have enough of those yet) this is much smaller than its counterpart - about the size of Zanuka or the Hyenas. It's body is, appropriately, shaped like a Saber-tooth Cat, complete with MASSIVE protruding canine fangs. Out of its back protrudes a sniper rifle that it uses for ranged attacks, and when it makes melee attacks after teleporting it bites at the player. The clones are visually indistinguishable, but fittingly are weaker than him. On either of his sides are yellow-glowing teleportation generators that double as weak-spots - but they're blocked from direct-frontal attack by the shoulders of its forearms.

If Sabertooth is the last one standing, the yellow-glow color he has alters to blue.

 

When one dies the other is restored to full life and gains the other’s abilities:

Sabertooth gains an extremely tough shield and the ability to and is able to produce shockwave attacks.

Mammoth becomes capable of teleporting to players and gains a powerful long-range attacks as well as retaining its strong melee blows.

 

Lotus Quotes:

“In order to take a stronger hold on Eris, the Corpus recently launched two new proxies designed to work in conjunction with one another.  If they are allowed to remain active this planet may develop into an impenetrable bastion of Corpus power.”

“Our attempts to learn the capabilities of the Mammoth and Sabertooth-class proxies have met with the deaths of all agents involved.  The only information garnered from their efforts is the phrase: ‘adapt to the loss of the other.’”

“A pair of interlinked AI’s is showing up on sensors, you’re getting close.”

“We don’t know how the Corpus have been able to hide so much information on these two proxies from us, expect potentially anything from these machines.”

 

Intro Sequence - The camera is focused on Sabertooth for a moment before it pans out as Sabertooth jumps in the air. The panning brings into focus Mamoth, on whom's back Sabertooth had previously been standing, before Sabertooth lands next to his comrade, putting them both in the same shot. They each roar and the cinematic ends and the battle begins.

 

Mammoth Quotes:

“Shock-pistons at peak capacity.”

“Energy core functioning normally.”

“Alloy turbines functioning at 100%.”

“Proxy: Sabertooth has been neutralized.  Adapting to loss.”

“Energy core ruptured. Resorting to… Emergency… Critical systems failure.”

 

Sabertooth:

“Compact Void-drive charging...”

“Holographic projectors analysis underway… Results positive.”

“Alloy weaponry remains undamaged.”

“Proxy: Mammoth has been neutralized.  Adapting to loss.”

“Targeting systems damaged.  Motor systems damaged.  Malfunction… Sabertooth…”

Thankya, thankya. Figured eventually we'd need to get a new Warframe/weapon from somewhere other than Dojo/store, and Eris is open for a new boss now.

Sound cool. But what do they look like?

... Knew I was forgetting something. I'll edit it in when I have the time to better conceptualized a look for them.
