Crashed Vulpkanin Ship - Lavaland Ruin

[PollardTheDragon]

What Does This PR Do

Adds the ash whelp and the rarer ice whelp as rare mobs on lavaland. They have a bit of health and come equipped with two different fire breath attacks, as well as armor-piercing melee attacks. They will cannibalize each other if they find a corpse of another whelp, and they will rarely carve rocks into statues of themselves. They also come with innate resisting behaviors and a tendency to set trees on fire.

Adds ash walker mobs of four tiers. Each tier gains in durability and damage, but are progressively rarer. Higher tier ashwalker mobs drop better ore. They come innate with some spoken lines (in Sinta'Unathi), as well as resisting and prowling behaviors. They have the ashwalker faction and will not attack player ash walkers unless attacked, and will resist out of grabs/pulls/lockers.

Adds a new ruin - the Wreck of the Providence. The providence is a broken vulpkanin ship that recently crashed down to the surface of lavaland and was assailed by the monsters inhabiting the place. The ship's crew have all perished, although the central hold is locked down with a special device. This device is a challenge device - activating it will cause it to slowly tick an 8 minute timer down, spawning mobs in waves around it to engage it. If the device is able to fully activate, it will unlock the central compartment which contains a decent amount of ore, a special revolver, and some spare speedloaders for it.

The Charon's Special revolver is a .32 caliber revolver that fires modified huntsman rounds. These rounds do 20 brute to targets, but will do vastly more if the target is lavaland fauna. Ammo supplies are limited to what can be found in the ruin - use them carefully.

There are also some new salvage items. Dog tags, which come in three tiers, and broken rifles. Dog tags can be found on the corpses onboard the Providence, and will be worth a number of credits/points depending on the tier. Broken rifles can also be found around the corpses - they are worth few credits and few points, but can be recycled for metal and space ores.

Why It's Good For The Game

More lavaland content is good. Diversifies the mobs encountered on the surface. It also adds a ruin to lavaland which uses these new mobs and other collectible loot.
