Death Striker

Death Strikers are wildlife in Pyria.

Synopsis
The Death Striker is a smaller dwarf species of the much larger Deathworm. With reduced size, however, comes the unique opportunity of these smaller death worms becoming tameable! However, these creatures are far more clever than their larger, brute-force counterparts, and have been known for outwitting survivors trying to tame them. When tamed, however, they prove their worth as excellent guards, remaining underground until the foe closes in, then rushing forwards and springing out of the ground to inflict powerful damage.

Taming
Death Strikers are typical carnivorous knockout tames, but with a twist. Once knocked out, a Death Striker will only remain above-ground for 3-5 seconds before going underground, where it's inventory can't be accessed. So, in order to administer food and narcotics, it's inventory has to be accessed before that happens. When a player is in its inventory when it goes underground, it won't kick the player out of the inventory, but if the inventory is exited the player won't be able to access it again.

Death Strikers spend a majority of their time underground, where they cannot be given orders. Tamed Death Strikers can only be managed when they are above-ground. They can be triggered to come above ground by approaching the spot where they're buried. Be advised that turning off Ally-Look on Death Strikers will likely put them underground permanently.

Death Strikers can be put into "turret mode" where they lie in wait underground, and ambush any non-allied creatures that come too close.
