Man, I'm tired.

Arthopleura.

Size: Egg: 0.15 blocks long, wide, and tall. 10 of these should fit onto one tile, so placing an Athopleua egg on the ground will create 10 on that one spot.

Larva: 0.1 blocks tall and 0.2 blocks long after hatching. By the end of Day 1 it is 0.4 blocks tall and 1 block long.

Inactive: 0.6 blocks tall and a little over 1 block long.

Adult: 1 block tall and 4 to 5 blocks long.

Prey: Larva: Plants.

Adult: Anything smaller than a Ceratosaurus.

Predators: Quetzalcoatlus, Tyrannosaurus, Titanoboa, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Appearance: More or less, it is a giant milipede. The eggs should be sort of like the Nether Wart's first stage of "living," except each egg is 0.15 in diameter, and there are ten in one square. The larvas should look a bit like small white worms. When inactive, the larva should form a cocoon-like structure around itself.

AI: Arthopleuras of all ages, larva or adult, can float and swim across water. However, pushing an Inactive larva in will cause it to sink and drown. Larvas are timid, Inactives will not move, and Adults are aggressive. While Inactive an Arthopleura is invulnerable to everything except fire, lava, suffocation, or drowning. They won't attack, either.

It only takes 1 minute for the Arthopleura egg cluster to hatch. When the custer does hatch there will be ten larva Arthopleuras. This sound like it will cause a s**tload of lag, but they all only have 1 heart, making them vulnerable to...everything, until they reach Inactive state. While they are larvas, just about anything will try to attack it. Chickens, birds, and Pteranodons will attempt to eat them, all aquatic animals will target them, small herbivores will either scratch it or run, medium herbivores such as Stegosaurus may attack it out of fear, carnivores will ruthlessly try to devour them, sauropods will just step on them...you get it. So this keeps the Arthopleua population in check, because when they become Inactive they can't be harmed and when they are adults they will attack many different things. This should be similar to Adsper's Fish Breeding idea.

Larvas crawl around very slowly and feed on leaves and plants. They can climb walls. After one day they encase themselves in a cocoon and become Inactive. After a day in this condition they break out and become adults. Adults can climb walls too.

Special Animations: Before adults attack, they rear up, hiss, and then lunge.

Health: Larva: 1 Heart.

Inactive: Infinite.

Adult: 30 Hearts.

Damage: Larva: 0.

Inactive: 0.

Adults: 3 Hearts.
