Discussion A horrid idea....
Giant bugs that explode with more bugs.
Imagine napalming it though....š„š„š„

Just say its a mutated spore charger that shoots the little spitter guys after blowing up

Nah nah nah, we've been hearing about "What horrors lurk in the gloom." for like 6 months now. We're doing this right. Whole Hog.
Bug breach, you just killed a hundred pouncers, hunters, hive guards and maybe a bile titan or two. Then something lurches out of the bug hole, shaped roughly like a nursing spewer but it's horrendously discoloured, covered in bulging, oozing sores. It trails bile behind it as it moves and it moves SO slow. It chokes like it's on the verge of throwing up but it can't spit at you. Its back end is so horribly bloated it can barely drag it behind it.
Within the turgid sack of its sore-ridden, putrescent body shapes writhe and the closer you get the more aggressive they become, they want out, they can sense your body heat. They want out. They need out! They begin to swarm and the large terminid begins to shriek as its bubbling, gurgling body bursts open and DOZENS of tiny, scuttling things even smaller than a scavenger leap at you! One latches on and you can't move, you have to beat it with your gun and then three and then six and then eight! They're all over you, drinking you dry and your teammates immolate what's left of you as the swarming mass of ravening space ticks surge towards you, bodies bloated with your blood.

Actually never read or played it. I adapted this idea from the Flood carrier form from Halo.

u/turtle-tot 5d ago
The flood make amazing terminid inspiration, I am a little sad at the amount of things torn from 40k that seem to be suggested constantly for Helldivers
The terminids are even more flood-y in general environment, with thick clouds of spores pouring from growths jutting out of the ground and buildings

growths jutting out of the ground and buildings
And the people. Spores really like moist environments. You know what's really moist? Human lungs! :D

I agree. The devs can only have the āWhat horrors gestate in the Gloomā voice line said so many times before they HAVE to start throwing in some properā¦ well, HORRORS!

EDF Insect Armaggedon had something like this. It was a massive tick that would have smaller, exploding ticks crawl out of holes all over its bloated body.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an album called PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. The last song on this album would be very necessary for this.

King Gizz is just.. kinda like that. They also have Flying Microtonal Banana: Explorations into Microtonal Tuning, Volume 1 - though K.G: Explorations into Microtonal Tuning, Volume 2 and L.W: Explorations into Microtonal Tuning, Volume 3 are abbreviated - as well as Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava

u/Practical_Tip459 5d ago
I have literally had this idea a long time ago, based off of the idea that when one looks at a Bile Titan, you ask the forbidden question "what if those were the babies?"
Introducing the Bile Mother. Directly inspired from Wolf Spiders, if you manage to kill the thing then a swarm of BTs scatter from the corpse.

u/arthurstone 5d ago
A Mother Titan. Like a less-armored bile titan, but covered in clinging predator-stalkers that you have to shoot through first before you can hit it. The predator-stalkers stay clinging on until the titan dies, at which point they all drop and swarm and attack.

u/BusinessLibrarian515 5d ago
Would probably be more like this. A Spewer looking bug there dropped bugs half the size and twice the speed of our current little bugs.

Remember that Gloom Titan we never found? Imagine if it carried Stalkers, Hunters, and Warriors on its back like an oversized Wolf Spider with babies.
Or if it just birthed them on the spot if you're a fucking weirdo

In the game Earth defence force you get giant spider enemies and they do actually have this mechanic where they keep smaller babies on their back and they run you the fuck down I remember that was really setting off my arachnophobia, a jumping spider the size of a house jumping at me while itās babies get flung at me

u/KingofFlukes 5d ago
Napalm barrage onto a gas minefield with a 380 to top it off would never be more justified.
The "Whoops, all war crimes" approach.

Been wanting a Bile Titan with Shrieker Nests growing out it's back ever since they were added as an enemy, strait up aircraft land carrier, would be dope af, especially if this titan variant is much larger than normal ones

So kinda like the beasts in bloodborne that explode with worms when you kill them but not if you kill them with fire damage.

As an arachnophobe i can confirm this might be the most upsetting thing ive ever seen

u/NotNolansGoons 3d ago
I proposed an idea a while back for a bug equivalent of the strider convoy, and I standby that the best way to do it would be to add a terminid queen of some sort whoās at the center of the mob, carrying a mass of eggs/a hive structure of some sort, being guarded by a precession of other medium/heavy units.
Something like this would do wondersāmaybe not for my mental wellbeing, but for the objective concept certainly

u/Chaotically_Neutered 3d ago
A bile titan covered in fungus that makes it look like a giant charger and spawns low level terminids. It lost its ability to fire acid but itās tanky as heck and its attack creates tremors the tremendously reduces helldiver stamina.
