While working on the Frostiana mushroom I had an idea of a semi-flower semi-mushroom mob which could give twice the damage that give the Frostiana.
I searched a bit which kind of mob I could do with this idea and I get on this "Rafflesia" parasite, after an ugly sketch here is what I have.
It throws poison just like the Frostiana does, the effect might be faster and harder though.
Should I work on it?

Looks like a good start. I like the idea as well. We're starting to have quite a few static mobs but this is an interesting one, I had an idea for poisons that players can use and a poisonous mob would be really useful for that

Looks very good.

In my opinion the Rafflesia and the Frostiana look to similar to each other though. Would it be possible to make the differences bigger?

I was thinking in doing the animation differently, like, the rafflesia is a flower, the frostiana is a fungus, the frostiana is ejecting a poison cloud when it shrinks, the rafflesia could eject poison when it open itself like a flower?
But this would require some hard animation frame... I don't know, I'm open for new ideas.

You can make it more flower like by adding green leaves around the flower.

The real rafflesia doesn't have the green leaves though. Cause it's a parasite, and therefore it doesn't need the sunlight energy to survive. It is actually even the only known plant without having the chloroplast genome, so adding leaves will make it a different flower alt25

Another idea is by using different colors than the frostiana.

The opening flower animation would be cool to have, and will certainly help creating a difference between the two monsters. But to me it looks like it would be very difficult / impossible (for me) to draw.
