Creating MA arcs is fun but it can be frustrating when it comes to villain groups with exotic creatures.
Sometimes the villain group doesn't have any creatures in a certain range. I had to stop using snakes in a 40-50 arc because of the 40 to 45 gap. The MA allowed me to use Snakes because they are Lv 1-52, however my level 40 test toon faced level 46 Snakes.
You can mimic many creatures using custom costumes but they have to be humanoid based. Non humanoid costumes are not an option.
I had an idea for some exotic costumes. The MA interface would look something like this:
Humanoid/Custom
Humanoid/Generic (The premade costume templates)
Exotic/Sphere
Exotic/Vine
Exotic/Sphere
Exotic/Sphere would allow us to mimic the look of Will-o-the-wisps, Rularuu 'Eyes',and Lunaruu Storm Elementals. Basically it's a sphere model that has textures and colours applied. Textures could be basic (spines/horns/different colours), or animated (auras,or something like the exotic shields).
Powersets would be ranged or "melee(?)" like the will-o-the-wisp attack or swarms.
The only movement power would be flight.
Exotic/Vine
Exotic/Vine would mimic Carrion Creeper Vines. Textures would be similar to the ones mentioned for spheres (if possible). A glowing vine with a lightning aura would be cool!
All forms would have the "strike" animation.
Powersets could be combinations like lethal/smashing/toxic, smashing/energy,and so on.
The movement power would be based on Carrion Creepers. Alternately it could be set to "none".
