If HOPRs had a corrupted version (there’s no good reason for one to be on sierpinski since they’re supposed to all be decommissioned) I think they’d fill the role of classic spitter enemy. They’ve got gross goopy heads and I think they’d essentially try to projectile spit evil juice that attracts other corrupted replikas to you
#ITS BASED OFF OF SOME GROSS GLAND STUFF I LEARNED ABOUT HOOPOE BIRDS#apparently the nesting females can produce gland fluids that smell like rotting meat etc to deter predators#wanted to do something with that#not sure how to incorporate their spears though…#kinda like the thought of them fusing with the head#something something hoprs clinging to their beloved items as a last comfort upon getting sick#only for it to further hurt them#maybe the spears would grow/fuse vertically and limit neck movement#they’d also look so silly. spike heads lmaoo#<- ohhhh actually that could also be a fun mock hoopoe crest#anyway corrupted hoprs I think would be really aggressive but would have a hard time chasing u#due to being goopy kabobs essentially#they just want u out of their space but they REALLY want you out#I could even see other corrupted replikas avoiding them just bc they’re that territorial#maybe only tolerating other corrupted hoprs?#idk but it’s fun to play with#hopr#signalis oc#blorbo tag
