It actually looks a bit like Australia

All According To Plan...

... you magnificent BASTARD.

EDIT: Actually, if TAD turned out to be Lur Thiefwitch all along, it would be strangely appropriate.

Seems legit.

[Reudh]

So did we want to go ahead with introducing the dangerous Australian animals (maybe as TAD's gift to the world?)  to Hellcannon or Battlfailed IV?

I'm happy to code em up.

Suddenly, the prospect of facing Holistic Spawn seems relatively-pleasant.

[Reudh]

Given how many of them are toxic and cause very fast death, I think it would be FUN.

Box Jellyfish/Chironex - a hit from a tentacle injects deadly venom that kills in ~a few hours, resistable?

Malo kingi/Irukandji jellyfish - A hit from any part of the body injects excruciating venom that causes between 4 hours and 2 week long EXTREME PAIN and possible nerve damage as a result.

Taipan - Bite from a taipan is deadly after 30 minutes. They're large and fast to boot. Roughly similar to a black mamba.

Death adder - Full paralysis results after ~six hours, including respiratory paralysis.

Cone shell - This worm inside a shell found on the shore can kill in a few minutes, and its bite is painless.

Blue-ringed octopus - A bite from one of these is death in 20 minutes. First comes gradual suffocation though.

Red-back spider - Bite from these kills only small children and elderly, but otherwise causes severe nausea, pain, possible numbness.

White-tail spider - Bite from these causes localised necrosis.

Sydney funnel-web spider - Bite from these causes death.

Victorian funnel-web spider - Bite from these causes excruciating pain.

That's all the venomous creatures I can think of.

Why create new evils when we have plenty here! And that's just the venomous animals I could think of, not including the large and violent ones, nor the poisonous trees!

[Eric Blank]

I'd think adding new creatures ought to be kept to a minimum, but large herds of man-sized funnelweb spiders plagueing the world would be a nice touch.

Anybody got a reaction that successfully outputs bone blocks? That one form Battlefailed does not, in fact, work.

@Reudh:

I... Poisonous trees? Really? O-O

I'm assuming you're typing this from within a hermetically-sealed bunker? If not... WHY NOT? D8

If the massive amount of horrifying things to add is a problem, just pick the worst one, though I guess that's easier said than done :V

@Eric:

I'll poke around with the bone blocks, seeing as how I have absolutely nothing better to do.

ABC Science - Stinging Trees

Dendrocnide Moroides - Gympie-Gympie

They can cause death! A tree! Just by being near it!

[Mr Frog]

It can cause death! A continent! Just by being on it!

FTFY

After a bit of fiddling, I successfully managed to produce a batch of holistic spawn bone blocks in the arena. Next comes actual fort mode testing.

[ThatAussieGuy]

Well obviously the reason they're going there is because TAD swapped the map to some pleasant hillside location to the one leading to this continent of utter death.

You know this means the next fort will have floors literally paved with the dead, right?

[Mr Frog]

Isn't it exciting?


E: Not really important, but by leaving out [ANY_BONE_MATERIAL], I managed to produce solid, construction-able blocks of raw aardvark flesh. Yummy.

Why am I suddenly hungry?

Anyway, it's Thursday, so arcangelsd should be telling us all about the exploding kids in a few hours. That might be the weirdest sentence I have ever typed.
