The Legend (at least an idea for one)

The Legendary Snow Scorpian
I think it would be nice to have a monster that TRULY needs teamwork. Imagine a monster that live in southern Nivalis (on a new map). She only spawns once every 24 hours or so (randomly), She hits 2 times harder then Jacko but has 6 to 8 times the HP. She is the opposite of aggressive (she tries to run away)so you must have at LEAST 1 archer to get her attention (battlemagic will not work). She can cast heal on herself, so you must have 1 mage to cast stop-spell on her, often, (I spoke to Fate who said this COULD be made a level 3 magic spell). You would need at least 1 mage to heal the party, as said... she hits HARD. And of course, many warriors. She can call other scorpians, as she is the mother of all scorps in game, they will do anything to help momma out.
She drops:
-3 to 5 iron potions
-3 to 5 concentration potions
-snow goggles (5% chance)
-some new item used for a future quest(25% chance)
I spoke to 3 Devs so far, Meway, Fate and Black Don, they all liked the idea. They all said it needs work, will take a while to balance etc.. but would be an interesting new monster concept.
The basic idea here is to have a monster that can NOT be beaten unless there are at LEAST 3 to 4 (although 8 to 10 would be better) players working together. She should not be allowed to be spawned in spawn parties as that would take away from her mystery. I also like the idea of a NPC who predicts when she will show up...
NPC says 1 of the following
-I dont sence a thing
-Wont be long now (will spawn within 6 hours)
-I can feel something in the air (within 30 mins)
She will be 2 times the size of a normal scorp so in the pic below, use your imagination, also, this is only a VERY preliminary drawing based on current scorps, her look will improve. (Thank you Meway, my friendly Dev in pink )
Sooo thats about it, I want comments (be nice, this is my 1st attempt to bring new stuff to the game, not counting the mini-skirt. Hope you like.
See you in game.
