Brood Mother
A Brood Mother is a creature composed of other creatures. While not the official name of the fifth monster, it does seem likely that this will be it given the nature of the banter between Maggie and Hank. Maggie reveals the fourth monster which Turtle Rock has already confirmed as a monster made of rock (the armadillo), but what of this fifth monster? A monster made of more monsters that has Hank freaked out.
Anything about this rumored fifth DLC monster is just speculation at this point. But it’s certainly fun to pontificate on the abilities of this Brood Mother. This amorphous blob of a creature, rather than feed, simply absorbs any monsters in its path adding to the cushion separating the creature from the hunters. But, as hunters do damage to the Brood Mother, rather than lose armor, the creatures fall off of her – dead.
Special abilities of the Brood Mother include the ability to throw live creatures at the hunters, shed all of it’s fauna at once – forcing hunters to deal with an avalanche of hostile creatures and increasing the Brood Mother’s speed, an absorb ability that allows the Brood Mother to hold a hunter captive for a short period of time, and of course, the ability to draw in all the monsters within range of the Brood Mother.
This addition to the game, both creepy and exciting, would cause hunters to re-evaluate their tactics.
