>>56291171Just a thought here... maybe it could be based on plate tectonics, with the outer shell being made up of two pieces, the body being a mantle, and it performing attacks by rubbing the plates together to form divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries to set off earth or magma attacks. I know they don't like giving starters special forms (unless they're shilled) but maybe they'd work in this scenario.
Or maybe it can be inspired by sappers, where it burrows underground and then explodes, causing buildings above to collapse.
