Stick Bug

Based on Stick Bug from Bee Swarm Simulator
== Appearance ==
Stick Bug has brown scales with black stripes (Stick Bug in BSS doesn't have any black but I have to put black on a HiveWing so there you go). He's very, very long and skinny, almost like sticks, and has glowing orange eyes.
== Personality ==
Stick Bug isn't like other hostile mobs in the game. He's both a friendly NPC and a powerful boss mob. Unlike other mobs' straightforward desire to attack beekeepers, he took that and turned it into a fun game. Besides, the beekeepers can simply respawn if they die during the Stick Bug Challenge. Wow, the mobs are pretty dumb that they didn't figure that out yet; if they want to destroy the beekeepers, they have to destroy what's keeping them alive first.
== History ==
In a dragonified version of the Bee Swarm Simulator mountain, Stick Bug the HiveWing was added to existence by the great and powerful Onett in the 11/25/2018 update. He was gifted with literal invincibility along with many other incredible powers. He stands on a blue pedestal on the largest mushroom in the Mushroom Field. He can only speak in stick bug noises, which sound like bunches of 'tsk tsk tsk' gibberish. However, when a beekeeeper obtains a Translator from Science Bear and give it to him, they can communicate with each other. Stick Bug asks the beekeeper if they want to dance, and if they accept, the dance, known as the Stick Bug Challenge, will begin. This announces "(Username) has started the Stick Bug Challenge!" in the chat, and Stick Bug jumps to the Sunflower Field. The beekeepers' goal is to deal as much damage to Stick Bug with their bees as possible within ten minutes. The more damage that is dealt, the more points will be granted. Once Stick Bug's health depletes to zero, Stick Bug will summon a ring of various rewards around him, refills his health, gains one level, then jumps to another field. (Note that Stick Bug only likes to dance in Sunflower Field, Clover Field, Strawberry Field, Bamboo Field, Pineapple Patch, Cactus Field, Pumpkin Patch, and Mountain Top Field.) While dancing in fields, he uses many different attacks to fight the beekeepers. All of Stick Bug's attacks are:
* Running at a beekeeper, dealing damage as he collides into them.
* Flailing sticks around to deal damage to all nearby beekeepers. When using this attack, Stick Bug uses a dance animation while a large red warning circle appears before flailing the sticks in the circle's range. This also summons a few Stick Nymphs.
* Summoning many Stick Nymphs after displaying a large red warning circle. Stick Nymphs are much like Stick Bug himself, though they are much smaller. Stick Nymphs run towards beekeepers, dealing damage on contact. An individual Stick Nymph is slow and weak, but in numbers so large they can overwhelm beekeepers' bees and become nearly unstoppable.
* Creating rotating twig spinners that damage beekeepers when tripped on. Multiple small red warning circles appear around the field before spinners are deployed on those spots.
* Entangling nearby beekeepers in a trap of splintering twigs, dealing 3 damage per second and reducing movespeed and jump power by 25%. This trap can be removed by collecting pollen. Note that Stick Bug doesn't create any red warning circles prior to setting up the trap, he just stands idly before using it.
* Jumping into the flowers and becoming 2D, his shape shown in black on the flowers. He cannot be damaged in this state. Beekeepers can get him out of the flowers by collecting pollen from the black flowers manifesting his shape so the bees can continue to deal damage.
* At Level 6 and above, Stick Bug can build a Defense Totem in a nearby field that grants him 25% Defense. There can be a maximum of three Defense Totems at a time, which would grant him 75% Defense. Defense Totems can be removed by collecting pollen from the field it's in. Once destroyed, a Defense Totem will drop various rewards in a circle. Stick Bug can only build defense totems in the Dandelion Field, Mushroom Field, Blue Flower Field, Spider Field, Stump Field, Pine Tree Forest, and Rose Field, all of which are fields he prefers not to dance in. This means that the Ant Field, Coconut Field, and Pepper Patch are not involved in the Stick Bug Challenge at all.
All of these attacks become stronger the higher level Stick Bug is.
Stick Bug may award players with Stick Bug Amulets if they get enough points. There are four tiers of these amulets: bronze, silver, gold, and diamond. A higher score gives a higher-tier amulet. Stick Bug Amulets grant various boosts such as pollen, bee attack, bond from battle, honey from tokens, and decreased monster respawn time, though it will always boost container capacity and conversion rate.
