This is another Bastion Beetle submission. I get people want it to die, but to me I genuinely love bugs and wanted bastion beetle to win. I have been giving Bastion Beetle some thought and I am still working out a solid idea! I do not expect Bastion Beetle to even come close to the top this time because of how late it is, but I wanted to try anyways and get some opinions and thoughts of the new bastion beetle idea. Even if there is hate here that will not deter me from reposting it when it is completely ready. Without further ado, Here is my new idea for bastion beetle!
Antarctotrechus Balli Aka The Bastion Beetle Antarctotrechus Balli is a large and very rare creature found in the underground jungle (redwood biomes or bog biomes on maps without underground jungles) to which it seems well adapted. This unusually large beetle resembles a Rhinoceros beetle but on a much more massive scale. Aside from their unusual size, these creatures seem to have a strange implant made of purified element. Males have this implant on the horns and the females on their bellies. The males of this species are extremely territorial and will become aggressive and will attack anything that they think is challenging them. They will use their large frontal horn to try and flip their opponents over or knock them off of what they are standing on. It is suggested to never to and approach a male near a cliff because of this. Females of this species are usually quite docile and will not attack unless necessary. They are so docile that a survivor can walk up to them and pet them without any issues. I have seen one tribe that was able to tame an Antractotrechus Balli. They claim to have an area covered in red extinction sap which lured multiple Antarctotrechus Balli to the area to feed. Eating the sap seemed to cause the Antarctotrechus Balli to release certain pheromones' that started a mating ritual to begin. The males and females of the species began fighting each other until only one female and male was left. This pair then mated and laid an egg in the ground nearby. The pair was seen dead a few days after mating but death was not caused by the injuries, it seems this is simply how the Antarctotrechus Balli life cycle progresses. After the egg was laid and the parents had left, the tribe walked over to it and found that the egg was getting cold very quickly. They brought a creature that produced the right amount of heat and began incubating it right away (If you use a creature that is not warm enough the level will not be as high.) The young of the Antarctotrechus Ballis favorite foods are in order, Red Sap, Blue Sap, Element, Sap, Crops, Berries. Once the larva has hacthed it can be carried on the shoulder.

There is more art to come!
With the abilities, I wanted the bastion beetle to feel completely different between the female and the male. Sorta almost like shadowmanes, but to a more noticeable degree.
This is more pushed with a tek saddle, though I have gotten feedback that maybe the tek saddle just isn't right for this creature. I am messing around with it still. It is just a idea atm, and hey maybe wildcard will see this post in future votes and think the tek saddle was a good idea but the execution needs to be different. I am a firm believer of showing more potential abilities is better because it gives more of a idea of what a creature can do, even if the abilities are not 1 to 1 in the final product.
ABILITIES: Male Abilities: Males have a large horn that is used to knock enemies back. They can carry creatures in their horn that is Carno size or smaller and can use this ability to either transport aggressive creatures safely or thrash them around to deal damage. Their horn is sharp so they can cause impaling when they grab a creature and thrash around or headbutt them. Males also have the ability to fly long distances if necessary thought somewhat slow. The longer the male the runs the more damage it does (it does not increase in speed as it runs). Although not capable in the wild, tamed males can get the fuzz around their horn covered in sap. If covered in blue sap, they can hold creatures slightly larger than a carno, but no bigger than a Allo. If they have red sap, it causes the impale to bleed out faster due to the red sap opening their wounds more. Purple sap can be made in their inventory. If they have purple sap on their fuzz, then they gain a good attack stat bonus for a short time. The purple sap will also allow it to use both red and blue sap properties. Tek saddles allow them to imbue their horn implant with increased damage and has an energy field around it as the element resonates with the power from the saddle. The energy field changes properties when exposed to different types of sap. Blue sap increases armor and gives them better healing (around armor.0. Red sap gives the horn armor piercing and and increased attack (like a tek sword but around the horn).
Female Abilities: Females can run and can fly slightly faster than the males. Females have the ability to gently push things out of their way as they move. This includes pushing away creatures without angering them. Females also have a headbutt attack that does decent damage. They can body slam things under themselves. Females have higher natural resistance, but lower damage overall than males given the fact they do not have as many abilities. The females tek saddle prevents them from flying due to it's placement. The saddle does not slow the beetle down however and in fact increases their speed. The beetle has a large tek cannon on it's saddle that can fire normal cannon balls as well as blue, red, and purple artillary shells made in it's inventory with sap. Blue shells are crafted with blue sap, element, and gunpowder and cause a plasma explosion which stuns creatures (especially tek creatures) and disables electronic devices for a short time like an EMP. Red shells are made with red sap, gunpowder, and element and create gravity fluxtations that drag creatures closer and afflict burning for 2 seconds. Purple shells is a 5 second energy wave that freezes enemies in place and burns them. To make purple sap you must have red and blue sap and element.
Difference between male and females.
If you do not like the suggestion then you dont have to vote for it! Please let us be civil and not argue over it. I would love suggestions to make it a even better idea! Thank you for reading what I have.
