Barkantwensen

A giant floating head drifts through the facility, three syringes wobbling in his scalp, muttering to himself. He can barely see, but he hears everything.

• Walk slowly and keep quiet and you can slip right past him.
• If he sees you, he grins and rushes you. Break his line of sight and he gives up.
• If he catches you, he eats you, or carries you off on his tongue and drops you somewhere you didn't choose.
• Fight back: a hit makes him let go, and if you kill him his syringes drop as scrap you can sell.

Spawns inside the facility on every moon, at most one per day. Fully voiced. Every player in the lobby needs the mod.

Config

Spawn weight, health, speeds, sight range, kill chance, syringe value and more can be changed in BepInEx/config/Barkantwensen.cfg.

Credits

Made by Tweenz, with the real Barkantwensen's blessing; his voice lines are his own recordings. AI tools were used in making this mod: the code, the 3D head, its concept art and some sound effects (syringe clinks, gore, thuds) were AI-assisted.

Changelog

1.0.4

• He shows up much more often, about as often as a Bracken: roughly 1 in every 11 monsters that spawn inside (it was about 1 in 25), averaged over all moons. Still at most one per day.

1.0.2

• He shows up a bit more often: about 1 in 25 inside spawns (it was about 1 in 40).

1.0.0

• First release: the near-blind floating head that hunts by sound and rushes on sight; eats you or carries you off on his tongue; fully voiced.
• Kill him and his head bursts, leaving his syringes behind as scrap you can sell.
