*Note: Executive decision: Supermassive series is postponed for now until there are more uses for high health creatures that don't get OP when hp gets up in 100s. Cards are edited accordingly... Series is made into a "High Health" series.

Even bones turn to dust over time, especially those as old of Skelesaurus. However, with age comes strength too, so Skelesaurus is not easily taken down in ways other than its bones degrading. Finally, when it does die, its larger bones are still leftover, providing bones for a bone wall or even creating one. SERIES: High Health

Mutating something into a skelesaurus would be awesome   Skelesaurus with devour ftw... makes devouring armagios look bad.  It counters spine carapace/fire shield pretty hard, too, especially if we ever get a way to remove poison from creatures.

Heh. I may alter supermassive later to stipulate that they cannot be mutated into either if that ends up being a problem, since there would eventually be 12 of these types of creatures so mutating one would have a rather high probability. (Which would make sense; how could something like a photon mutate into an ocean or mountain or something?)

so furking awesome... 

built-in deathclock ftw \m/

i can't wait for the series

I think the rule is 1 active 1 pasive ability, so youre a bit out of luck with this one. still cool idea, cant wait to see the rest of your series

Ever heard of scarab?
The only restriction as far as I know is 1 active ability.

What's his second passive ability? If you're talking about Airborne, that's the exeption to the "rule" -not sure if it's a written rule-, but just because it would be awkward not to give 'Airborne' to a flying creature with another passive skill. The rule is basically "keep it simple", that's why 2 passives are not likely to happen. I guess it could be, but if there is another way with 1 active and 1 passive, it should be chosen.

Yes, airborne and swarm are both passive abilities. Thus, coding two+ passive abilities is entirely possible. And it's not necessarily complicated as long as they are easily understood abilities.

And another theme of the series is to emulate actual conditions; thus, bony and degrade. The reason many of these creatures will have extra passive abilities is to use up their health. None will have more than three (including supermassive and another that will occur with a couple: constant -- cannot be readied).

i like the bone wall upon death mechanic
i dislike the huge amount of hp, doesnt seem like this should have more hp than collosal dragon or even bone dragon, for that matter.

I was trying to think of something really big that's death themed for death's supermassive card. All I got was a skeletal dinosaur... Let's pretend that in the world of elements, dinosaurs are GIGANTIC .

Counterpoint: Devourer/scarab.

Moving on, I think it's kinda UP since it only lasts 5 turns.

I could swear there's an existing creature with three passives.  I'll see if I can remember.

Interesting card series.

Edit:

I think it was a mutant with three passives, actually.  Something like a mutant scarab, or a mutant immortal devour, etc.
